An Observational Constraint for Future Greenland Rain in a Warmer Atmosphere
GEOPHYSICAL RESEARCH LETTERS
28 february 2025
Megan Thompson-Munson, Leah Bertrand, Michael Gall...

Increased rain over the Greenland Ice Sheet can accelerate ice sheet mass loss and sea level rise. Here, 14 years of unique spaceborne‐r...

What controls the rapid Arctic warming since 1980?
CAUSES AND CONSEQUENCES OF POLAR AMPLIFICATION II POSTER
atmospheric sciences | 11 december 2024
Ash Gilbert, Jennifer E. Kay, Edward Blanchard-Wri...
The Arctic surface temperature (70-90°N) is increasing at 4 times the global rate, an amplification factor that CMIP models struggle to replicate. Thi...
