US National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) investigators say that Arctic sea ice extents were below average this January, for the most part. Some areas did display increased ice concentrations – which exceeded normal values for this period – such as the Bering Sea.

The conclusions of a new scientific investigation reveal that several large-scale climate patterns interacted in such a way during December 2011 that they were able to prevent snowfall from falling over huge parts of North America and Europe. The month was one of the driest on record in the United States, as well a... |

Large portions of the United States and Eastern Europe are currently experiencing warmer-than-normal conditions, with reduced snowfall. Scientists say that this is due to the fact that the Arctic Oscillation is currently positive, as opposed to the last two years, when its values were negative.
The AO is an index t... |

Throughout the month of January, the Arctic Oscillation has been holding steady in its strong negative phase, which influenced the extent of sea-based ice at and around the North Pole considerably. This event caused experts to record the lowest such extent in recorded history last month.Climate experts began keeping ... |

According to a new analysis released by experts at the US National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC), it would appear that the extent of sea ice in the Arctic for December 2010 was the lowest for this month in satellite record. Climate experts appear to believe the a strong negative phase of the Arctic Oscillation may... |

In a temperature map released by the American space agency, the pattern of influences caused by the Arctic Oscillation becomes clearly visible. Cooling is recorded for Northern Europe and Eastern America, while Northern Canada and Greenland are a lot warmer than usual. The conclusions were derived from the attached m... |

The news regarding climate change has recently gone from bad to the very worst. By predicting the weather and ocean conditions in the following months researchers discovered that there is a relatively good chance than at the end of this summer there will be little or no ice left at the North Pole. The probability of ... |
