Climate change does not always manifest itself in obvious ways. Our latest research shows that
modern interpretations of climate are too simplistic, too simplistic. We must be careful about making sweeping statements about the effects of climate change.Alun Hubbard, Professor, Center for Arctic Gas Hydrates, Environment and Climate Studies at the Arctic University of Norway
In his work, Hubbard explored the controversialclimate paradox: A 50% reduction in Arctic sea ice cover has increased open water evaporation and winter evaporation, now fueling extreme snowfall in southern Europe.
New work has shown that long-termThe decline in Arctic sea ice since the late 1970s was directly linked to the heaviest snowfall in February that same year, which caused losses of £ 1 billion.
Researchers have found that atmospheric vapor,coming south from the Arctic, bears a unique geochemical imprint: its source is the warm open surface of the Barents Sea, part of the Arctic Ocean between Norway, Russia and Svalbard. During a massive snowfall in 1970, 88% of the condensed water came from the Barents Sea.
Scientists have concluded that sea ice is actuallyblocks access to the ocean, water does not evaporate, so large winter precipitation is reduced. This may seem counterintuitive, but nature is complex, the authors conclude.
