Ocean eddies strongly affect global mean sea-level projections – Science Advances
INTRODUCTION Satellite-observed sea-level measurements indicate an ongoing increase in the global mean sea level since the satellite era (1–3). Global mean sea-level rise (GMSLR) threatens low-lying coastal regions, and these regions will benefit strongly from sea-level projections to adapt their…
Arctic Lightning Has Tripled in the Last Decade Likely Due to Global Warming – Interesting Engineering
Lightning is very beautiful to look at and it may have even kick-started life on Earth but it can be a dangerous driver of wildfires so its presence is not always a good thing. According to a recently published study in…
A Closer Look At What Happened During The Texas Deep Freeze
Three weeks ago, a major cold snap and series of winter storms enveloped the southern plains and parts of the Mississippi River Valley, sending temperatures below zero as far south as central Texas. According to NOAANCEI, a total of 8,632…
Report: Sea Ice Extent In Both Polar Regions At Normal Levels
On January 31, 2021, the sea-ice extent in the Arctic was 14.29 million km², roughly the same level as in the previous two years. In terms of the long-term trend for the month, January 2021 comes in 7th place with…
2020: Hottest Year On Record
NASA data show that 2020 was the hottest year on record. The image below shows that high temperature in 2020 hit Siberia and the Arctic Ocean. In above images, the temperature anomaly is compared to 1951-1980, NASA’s default baseline. When…
