Heatwaves constitute a major threat to human health and ecosystems. Projected increases
in heatwave frequency and severity thus lead to the need for prediction to enhance …

Poleward ocean heat transport is a key process in the earth system. We detail and review
the northward Atlantic Water (AW) flow, Arctic Ocean heat transport, and heat loss to the …

Pronounced changes in the Arctic environment add a new potential driver of anomalous
weather patterns in midlatitudes that affect billions of people. Recent studies of these …

This study presents a comprehensive analysis of processes determining heat waves across
different climates in Europe for the period 1979–2016. Heat waves are defined using a …

Abstract Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) mass loss has accelerated since the turn of the twenty‐
first century. Several recent episodes of rapid GrIS ablation coincided with intense moisture …

As a cooling machine of the Arctic Ocean, the Barents Sea releases most of the incoming
ocean heat originating from the North Atlantic. The related air-sea heat exchange plays a …

Arctic Amplification is a fundamental feature of past, present, and modelled future climate.
However, the causes of this “amplification” within Earth's climate system are not fully …

This study reports the occurrence of intense atmospheric rivers (ARs) during the two large
Weddell Polynya events in November 1973 and September 2017 and investigates their role …

Pulses of warm and moist air from lower latitudes provide energy to the Arctic and form its
main energy source outside of the summer months. These pulses can cause substantial …

The thermodynamic processes and synoptic circulation features driving lower-tropospheric
temperature extremes in the high Arctic (> 80° N) are investigated. Based on 10-day …
