Byline: Seth Borenstein AP Science WriterWASHINGTON -- The Arctic isn't nearly as bright and white as it used to be because of more ice melting in the ocean, and that's turning out to be a global problem, a new study says.With more dark, open water in the summer, less of the ...

the offset increase was of a similar magnitude as the shifts inflicted by almost 80 years of projected climate change (Fig.1a). Fig. 2: Loss of ecoregion representation. The impact of excluding Russian research stations from the INTERACT network on the count of research stations across the ...
The Arctic is warming at a rate roughly thrice as fast as the rest of the globe due to Arctic amplification1,2. While its detailed causes remain to be quantified3,4, a large number of studies attributed the amplification to anomalous poleward atmospheric transport in the form of warm air-...
The ITCZ shift due to our Global geoengineering simulation, where aerosols (20 Mt) are prescribed uniformly around the globe, is much smaller and the precipitation changes in most monsoon regions are within ±2% as the residual CO-induced warming in the tropics is also much less than in ...
