The strong poleward atmospheric heat and moisture transport may be one reason why the West Antarctic and Peninsula climate appears to be more strongly coupled with
regional sea ice concentration and extent
anomalies than does the East Antarctic (e.g. Jacobs and Comiso 1997; Weatherly et al. 1991).
It includes inter alia information on global temperatures during 2007,
regional temperatures
anomalies, droughts, storms and flooding, cyclones, and Artic
sea ice.
The shrinking of
sea -
ice in the eastern Arctic causes some
regional heating of the lower levels of air — which may lead to strong
anomalies in atmospheric airstreams, triggering an overall cooling of the northern continents, a study recently published in the Journal of Geophysical Research shows.
