How Clouds Over Antarctica Are Different and Affect Climate Models How cloudy is it in Antarctica right now? Probably very since it is the cloudiest place on Earth.ย Why does it matter?ย Well, because, those clouds and their reflectivity play an important role in climate change, and climate models use data about the clouds to make predictions.

The South Pole Warming Three Times Faster Than the Rest of the Planet For the last three decades the South Pole has been warming faster than the rest of the planet.ย A study published in the Journal Nature Climate by researchersย in New Zealand, Britain and the United States analyzed 60 years of weather station data and used computer modeling to show what was causing accelerated warming. The South Pole has experienced a record-high statistically […] Brains Sebastian Opazo | July 2, 2020 0 Comments
Is Climate Change Turning Antarctica’s Snow Green? Antarctica has large patches of green snow that are visible from space using satellite imaging. This green snow is caused by algal blooms. The patches of green snow have been growing as the continent warms due to climate change. Scientists mapped the prevalence of the blooms along the Antarctic peninsula and published their findings in late May. Most think of […] Brains Lynn Barlow | June 26, 2020 0 Comments

The Ozone Hole Over the Arctic Right Now is the Biggest Ever Recorded An ozone hole has developed over the Arctic and scientists are saying that it is the biggest such atmospheric opening ever recorded over the planet’s northernmost regions.ย It’s a rare occurrence that is formed by persistent cold temperatures in the polar region and unusually quiet ozone dynamics, NBC News reports. These factors have caused record depletion of Earth’s protective ozone layer […] Weather WeatherBrains | April 11, 2020 0 Comments
Antarctica Experiences First EVER Recorded Heat Wave Scientists have recorded what they believe is the first-ever recorded heatwave in Antarctica, warning that the “unprecedented” temperatures could impact animals and plant life in the region, reports CNN. “Heatwaves are classified as three consecutive days with both extreme maximum and minimum temperatures,” biologist Dr. Sharon Robinson said in the research, which was published in Global Change Biology journal Tuesday.
