Arctic Cyclones: Scientists May Have Just Found the Missing Piece in Arctic Ice Decline

Arctic cyclones may be accelerating sea ice loss by breaking ice into smaller pieces and driving upwelling of warm water. A study links these storms to rapid ice depletion and suggests that tropopause polar vortices could improve cyclone forecasting. A study published in Nature Communications Earth & Environment explores why climate models have underestimated Arctic [...]
