[Bolincentret-at-su.se] Fwd: Two Climate Change Final Reports Now Available

[Leonard Barrie]

Dear Bolin Centre Members
I would like to draw your attention to these two reports on Arctic by the
US National Academy of Sciences that can be downloaded for free.
The first on Arctic as a driver of Weather changes at mid latitudes is very
interesting perspective

   Linkages Between Arctic Warming and Mid-Latitude Weather Patterns:
Summary of a Workshop

   The Arctic has been undergoing significant changes in recent years.
Average temperatures are rising twice as fast as they are elsewhere in the
world. The extent and thickness of sea ice is rapidly declining. Such
changes may have an impact on atmospheric conditions outside the region.
Several hypotheses for how Arctic warming may be influencing mid-latitude
weather patterns have been proposed recently. For example, Arctic warming
could lead to a weakened jet stream resulting in more ...

   Permafrost is a thermal condition -- its formation, persistence and
disappearance are highly dependent on climate. General circulation models
predict that, for a doubling of atmospheric concentrations of carbon
dioxide, mean annual air temperatures may rise up to several degrees over
much of the Arctic. In the discontinuous permafrost region, where ground
temperatures are within 1-2 degrees of thawing, permafrost will likely
ultimately disappear as a result of ground thermal changes ...
