The cooling
of the North Atlantic is creating waviness in the jet stream and high-pressure
ridging over Europe, a study finds.
Does the heat wave that is disturbing Europe have a say on Greenlands ice? It may have caused extreme heat in western Europe and the Mediterranean, a study on climate models has revealed.
As
Greenland ice loss accelerates, Europe may suffer more frequent and intense
heatwaves than climate models currently predict.
This newly
discovered “atmospheric bridge” played a major role in the unprecedented
heatwaves this summer, according to Marilena Oltmanns at the UK’s National
Oceanography Centre, who is one of the study’s authors.
