The Arctic matters: extreme weather responds to diminished Arctic Sea ice

Abstract

Screen et al (2015 Environ. Res. Lett. http://dx.doi.org/10.1088/1748-9326/10/8/084006 10 http://dx.doi.org/10.1088/1748-9326/10/8/084006 ) find that model simulations forced by past and future Arctic sea-ice conditions provide robust evidence that a variety of extreme weather events both within and beyond the Arctic will be affected by changing sea-ice conditions.
