Polar low - Wikipedia
Some polar lows have the appearance in satellite imagery of tropical cyclones, with deep thunderstorm clouds surrounding a cloud-free ‘eye’, which has given rise to the use of the term "Arctic hurricane" to describe some of the more active lows. These systems are more common deep within the polar air.
Arctic Cyclones to Intensify as Climate Warms, NASA Study Predicts
2022年11月15日 · In findings published on Nov. 9, NASA scientists project spring Arctic cyclones will intensify by the end of this century because of sea ice loss and rapidly warming temperatures. Those conditions will lead to stronger storms that carry …
Arctic Hurricanes? Yes, There Are - Science 2.0
Climate scientists report the first conclusive evidence that Arctic hurricanes, also known as polar lows, play a significant role in driving ocean water circulation and climate. Their results point to potentially cooler conditions in Europe and North America in …
Cyclones in the Arctic are becoming more intense and frequent
2023年1月17日 · CHICAGO – In January 2022, a cyclone blitzed a large expanse of ice-covered ocean between Greenland and Russia. Frenzied gusts galvanized 8-meter-tall waves that pounded the region’s hapless...
Strongest Arctic cyclone on record led to surprising loss of sea ice ...
2022年11月29日 · The strongest Arctic cyclone ever observed poleward of 70 degrees north latitude struck in January 2022 northeast of Greenland. A new analysis led by the University of Washington shows that while weather forecasts accurately predicted the storm, ice models seriously underestimated its impact on the region’s sea ice.
