If the model does a poor job of simulating
certain atmospheric patterns, those errors will be compounded at the regional level.

While natural
patterns of
certain atmospheric and ocean conditions are already known to influence Greenland melt, the study highlights the importance of a long - term warming trend to account for the unprecedented west Greenland melt rates in recent years.
However, using National Centers for Environmental Prediction − National Center for
Atmospheric Research (NCEP - NCAR) reanalysis data (41), Petoukhov et al. (34) showed that, during a number of recent NH extremes in July and August,
certain persistent high - amplitude
atmospheric wave
patterns with barotropic vertical structure evolved, to which the quasistationary component of midlatitude barotropic free waves with zonal wave numbers k ≈ 6 − 8 made an exceptionally large contribution.
Climate change is indeed expected to influence
certain major ocean currents, in part by affecting the winds and other
atmospheric patterns that help to drive the movement of the seas.
While natural
patterns of
certain atmospheric and ocean conditions are already known to influence Greenland melt, the study highlights the importance of a long - term warming trend to account for the unprecedented west Greenland melt rates in recent years.
