54 Years Worth of Satellite Data Documents Changes in the Northern Hemisphere’s Snow Cover In a new study published in the Journal of Hydrometeorology, researchers analyzed snow cover data gathered from weekly satellite flyovers from 1967 to 2021. The study was divided into sections of the northern hemisphere for analysis. Of the grids that researchers determined had reliable data, they found that snow cover is declining in nearly twice as many grids as it is […] Brains Luke Guilford | July 6, 2023 0 Comments
Arctic Sea Ice Could Be Gone By 2035 The Nature Climate Change journal has published a new study that predicts Arctic sea ice could be gone by 2035. Scientists have said if what is happening in the Arctic right now compares to the last interglacial period, it could be free of sea ice in about 15 years. Yet it could be anywhere between 2035 and 2086. Related: Arctic […] Brains Rouchelle Gilmore | August 18, 2020 3 Comments
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. A study published in the Journal Nature Climate by researchers 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
US Snowstorms Could Reduce by 28-Percent Before Century End Average snowstorms could drop by 28% in central and eastern North America, according to a new study by Northern Illinois University. The scientists predict American winters might experience significant decreases in the frequency, intensity, and size of snowstorms, by the last decade of this century. Related: Length of Winter Could Be Halved by 2050 They predict the snow season will start […] Weather Rouchelle Gilmore | June 12, 2020 0 Comments
