Francine keeps organizing Figure 1. In the Gulf of Mexico, where Francine will travel on Monday and Tuesday, sea surface temperatures in late August were the highest on record.…
The mainstream view in climate science is that Arctic sea ice loss is caused almost entirely by human-caused global warming, primarily carbon dioxide emissions. However, a nature communications The research title is The role of atmospheric rivers in shaping long-term changes in Arctic sea ice A key factor that has been largely overlooked is highlighted: atmospheric rivers (AR). These ARs (narrow and intense water vapor flows originating in the tropics and mid-latitudes) play an important role in Arctic sea ice changes that are not adequately captured by conventional climate models. By focusing too much on carbon dioxide as the culprit…
