VictorThe #jetstream, the narrow band of westerly winds circling the northern hemisphere, is stagnating, giving rise to severe #heat across much of the globe, and #climatechange may be making it worse, a new study finds. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-39466-6.epdf?sharing_token=3eLEnz2T7EtgB4ShHP6PpdRgN0jAjWel9jnR3ZoTv0OUNsDZZAQ0mXHRo939slJR5kLfUQtRF4XQoPF-vXv_yunUFq5H1IJrDeDHCdK4wEFHePKP8XzSSuQMf8VyVoq0EIzVLQlWMNeOEQv5cQOaq-upipyeTTs5yKotyPTMp7I%3D

A shift in summer atmospheric circulation has accelerated Greenland Ice Sheet melt. The authors show that diminished North American snow cover supports these conditions by inducing a stationary Rossby wave that favors high pressure over Greenland.
