Study to focus on Arctic after Greenland Sea found have warmed 10 times faster than global ocean

Australian Broadcasting Corporation: Scientists have revealed plans to examine temperature changes in the Arctic Ocean after a long-term study found the Greenland Sea is warming 10 times faster than the global ocean. Scientists from Germany's Alfred Wegener Institute (AWI) analysed temperature data from the Greenland Sea between 1950 and 2010. Their results show that during the past 30 years water temperatures between two kilometres deep and the ocean floor have risen by 0.3 degrees Celsius. Dr Raquel Somavilla Cabrillo, AWI...

Arctic Ice Melt May Shift Jet Stream South, Cause Rainy UK Summer

Nature World: A new study published in the journal Environmental Research Letters suggests that a loss of Arctic sea ice caused the jet stream to shift further south, thus contributing to an extraordinary run of wet summers experienced by Britain and northwest Europe between 2007 and 2012. University of Exeter scientist James Screen uses a computer model to investigate the wet weather and whether it was linked to the melting of sea ice in the Arctic. Screen's study "compared weather patterns during low sea...
Melting Arctic sea ice means its only going to get wetter for northern Europe

Independent: The unprecedented run of wet summer weather in recent years could be due in part to the melting sea ice in the Arctic, which appears to be affecting the movement of high-altitude winds over Britain, a study has found. Scientists believe they have discovered a causal link between the loss of Arctic sea ice in summer months and variations in the jet stream that have brought a series of very wet summers to Britain and northern Europe. The six summers from 2007 to 2012 were all wetter than average...
The Arctic hasnt been this hot for 120,000 years

Grist: The last time the Canadian Arctic was as warm as it is today, our ancestors were only just beginning to migrate out of Africa. A study published in Geophysical Research Papers suggests that recent temperatures in the region were unmatched during the last 120,000 years. "Our results indicate that anthropogenic increases in greenhouse gases have led to unprecedented regional warmth," said University of Colorado at Boulder professor Gifford Miller, the lead author of the new paper. Over three...
