Southern Ocean Sea Ice can Help Predict Carbon Levels The Southern Ocean occupies 14% of the Earth’s surface, and it is one of the biggest carbon sinks capturing about half of all human-related carbon in oceans to date. It plays a critical role in the global carbon cycle and in the Earth’s climate. Now, a new study of blue ice from scientists at UNSW and Keele University has found […] Brains Gabrielle Gasser | July 6, 2020 0 Comments
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. Why does it matter? 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.
