The climate factors revealed in a new study shed light on Greenland's climate and can help predict the future development of Greenland's ice sheet.
The climate factors revealed in a new study shed light on Greenland's climate and can help predict the future development of Greenland's ice sheet.
Studies have previously attributed Arctic Amplification to local climate feedback processes, heat release from the Arctic Ocean, and energy transport from the south. Melting sea ice during summers further amplifies warming trends through a process known as surface albedo feedback, where less ice leads to less sunlight being reflected into space.
"The results suggest a significant impact of natural variability in explaining the atmospheric anomalies leading to extreme summers over Greenland," says Prof. Ha. Highlighting the importance of the study, she adds,"Considering climate change, the extreme summer temperature over Greenland will further accelerate the ice sheet melting, leading to a rapid sea level rise."
