Key Earth System processes to understand Arctic Climate Warming and Northern Latitude Hydrological Cycle Changes
Main content
The projected enhanced warming of the northern latitudes in the forthcoming decades will impact the region's hydrological cycle, the cryosphere and biogeochemical cycles, impacts which are associated with forecasted, significant changes of the Earth System functioning. It is not clear how the northern world will look like with a summer ice-free Arctic Ocean, changed atmospheric and oceanic circulation patterns and the many specific responses of the Northern Earth system. It will require a powerful Earth System model to generate new understanding of the possible future climate evolution.
