New paper by Preece et al. shows that the increase in high pressure over #Greenland in summer that has accelerated #IceSheet melt is favored by diminished North American #snowcover via a stationary Rossby wave. @TLMote @judah47 @DrKnoxUGA @GKooperman nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Great article @JournalPolar with @climate_ice on the atmospheric rivers, heatwaves, rainfall and resulting record ice sheet melt in Greenland that we discussed in detail in the @CopernicusECMWF #ESOTC European State of the Climate 2022☀️💧🧊

New paper by @ksmattingly et al. shows that extreme #icesheet #melt events in northeast #Greenland occur after #AtmosphericRivers, as the #foehn effect results to warmer and drier air descending the ice sheet slope. @UWSSEC nature.com/articles/s41467-0…

Come work with me and some very cool colleagues on a project in SW France on #climate #agriculture #landuse and #policy - positions available for PhD students in 1) soil/veg work and 2) modeling (coming soon) and a social science postdoc. @AgusBC3 @TLMote bit.ly/DISES_hiring

Interesting event and also a symptom of big changes nytimes.com/2021/08/20/clima…

It Rained at the Summit of Greenland. That’s Never Happened Before. (Published 2021)

The showers are another troubling sign of a changing Arctic, which is warming faster than any other region on Earth.

2020 saw the Greenland Ice Sheet melting fast and global sea level rise speeding up to 4.8mm/year thanks to that melting on top of other climate change driven factors. Concern growing about the Antarctic Ice Sheet too. Gunna cost BIG time. sciencemag.org/news/2020/11/…

Experts didn't anticipate how wild things would get: A record 23 named storms as of Sept. 23: wapo.st/33WwYbF In depth, by @bhensonweather

Why the 2020 Atlantic hurricane season has spun out of control

Extra-warm ocean waters, boosted by climate change, and La Niña are key drivers in historic season.

Our @esa polar-orbiting satellites forbode an Antarctic mass loss trajectory which today drives a worst-case sea-level rise scenario. For the latest forecasts see: go.nature.com/2RQ44Ef 2016, 2018, 2020,... are the messages "sinking in"?

New research reveals effect of global warming on Greenland ice melt

New analysis of almost 30 years' worth of scientific data on the melting of the Greenland Ice Sheet predicts global sea level rise of at least 10 centimeters by the end of the 21st Century if global...

Konrad Steffen, Who Sounded Alarm on Greenland Ice, Dies at 68 (Published 2020)

A renowned researcher on rising sea levels, he died after falling into the kind of crevasse that warming has created. “It looks like climate change actually claimed him as a victim,” a colleague said.

The Arctic climate records set during the past few months have been astonishing, from wildfires in Siberia and 100F temps to glaciers erupting with meltwater in Svalbard, Norway. A tour across the Far North reveals how much is askew. washingtonpost.com/weather/2…

#Drought Monitor update June 23, 2020. This week saw a slight reduction in D0 coverage on the western coast but also an expansion of moderate drought (D1) to the southeast coast. caribbeanclimatehub.org/reso… #PuertoRico

A new tropical storm Dolly at nearly 40N latitude and the ‘Godzilla’ Saharan dust cloud to its south. A strange start this June to the Atlantic hurricane season.
Philip Klotzbach@philklotzbach23 Jun 2020
#Dolly has formed in the North Atlantic - the 3rd earliest 4th Atlantic named storm formation on record (since 1851). Danielle is earliest on 6/20/2016. Debby is 2nd earliest on 6/23/2012 at 12 UTC. Dolly in 2020 formed on June 23 at 1615 UTC. #hurricane
