Lea Svendsen was at first surprised to see how the Pacific impacted winter temperatures in the Arctic. Now, her results have been published in Nature Climate Change, while the Pacific transitions into a warm phase again. 

The Arctic is about to shrink, shows a new study, as an important part of the Arctic Ocean shifts over to an Atlantic climate regime. The rapid climate shift occurs in the northern Barents Sea—the Arctic warming hotspot where the surface warming and loss of winter sea ice is largest in the entire Arctic.

Strong winds along the Antarctic coast increase the flow of cold water from the Weddell Sea into the Atlantic. Kjersti Daae explains her new study of how winds and currents interact. 

The Mediterranean region is vulnerable to a global warming of two degrees, a new study shows. At 1.5 degrees or less, climate models do not respond in a similar fashion.

Efficient carbon pathway to the deep ocean allows for a strong future uptake, new study shows.

Norway may need less electricity in the future, a new study of consequences of climate change in Europe shows. 

During the last interglacial, there were large variations in the circulation in the South Atlantic, both at the surface and at depth. The overturning circulation in the Atlantic was still maintained.

With global warming, ocean circulation in the Atlantic Ocean is generally thought to weaken. New research shows that less sea ice off the coast of Greenland may work against this.

Ice-flow modelling, snow properties and isotope analysis, skiing in teams and crevasse rescue. On the west coast of Greenland, 15 PhD students were drilled in both science and how to execute field courses in harsh Arctic climates. 

A long debate of the role of the sea ice and the winter temperatures in Eurasia has got a new contribution. Probably no connection, a new study says.

Sea surface temperature in the distant tropical Pacific can influence November weather in Europe.

Tore Furevik, director of the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research was on the programme of the University of Bergens conference on the UN Sustainable Development Goals - Knowledge of Our Common Future. Here is an extended version of his talk.

On TV weather maps we see low pressure centers as circles resembling tree-rings, with long tails of red warm fronts and blue cold fronts. But what came first – the low or the fronts?
