Understanding the causes of recent climatic trends and variability in the high-latitude
Southern Hemisphere is hampered by a short instrumental record. Here, we analyse recent …

Over the last three decades, the South Pole has experienced a record-high statistically
significant warming of 0.61±0.34° C per decade, more than three times the global average …

Abstract The twentieth-century Northern Hemisphere surface climate exhibits a long-term
warming trend largely caused by anthropogenic forcing, with natural decadal climate …

The Earth's climate system is driven by a complex interplay of internal chaotic dynamics and
natural and anthropogenic external forcing. Recent instrumental data have shown a …

This study compares the distribution of surface climate trends over the Southern Ocean in
austral summer between 1979–2011 and 1950–1978, using a wide variety of data sets …

A variety of hypotheses, involving sub-ice-shelf melting, stratospheric ozone depletion and
tropical teleconnections, have been proposed to explain the observed Antarctic sea-ice …

Arctic surface temperature warmed more than twice as fast as global temperature during the
early twentieth century, similar to that during the recent global warming. This Arctic warming …

Pronounced climate changes have occurred since the 1970s, including rapid loss of Arctic
sea ice, large-scale warming and increased tropical storm activity in the Atlantic …

Antarctic sea-ice extent has been slowly increasing in the satellite record that began in
1979,. Since the late 1990s, the increase has accelerated, but the average of all climate …

Temperature trends across Antarctica over the last few decades reveal strong and
statistically significant warming in West Antarctica and the Antarctic Peninsula (AP) …
