The role of the atmospheric energy transport in recent Arctic climate change

Do changes in the atmospheric circulation lead to Arctic warming and to melting of the Greenland ice sheet? These are questions that we attempt to answer in the project. The Arctic shows some of the world's most significant signs of climate change. These signs include a strong negative trend in...
