Polar Amplification

Polar amplification is the phenomenon that any change in the net radiation balance (for example greenhouse intensification) tends to produce a larger change in ...

Arctic amplification – Climate Change: Vital Signs of the Planet - NASA

Temperatures have increased about twice as fast in the Arctic as in the mid-latitudes, a phenomenon known as “Arctic amplification.”

Polar Amplification of Climate Change - - Nationalkomitee SCAR/IASC

The Arctic has warmed two to three times more than the rest of the world in recent decades. This drastic climate change is called Arctic amplification.

Polar Amplification - RealClimate

“Polar amplification” usually refers to greater climate change near the pole compared to the rest of the hemisphere or globe in response to a change in global ...

Arctic Amplification - Climate Signals

The Arctic is warming twice to three times as fast as the rest of the planet. This has impacts on larger air and ocean systems at lower latitudes.

A polar amplification means that at high latitudes, the surface temperature warming exceeds the global average temperature change.

Polar amplification of climate change in coupled models

An intercomparison of model results also shows that increases in poleward ocean heat transport at high latitudes and increases in polar cloud cover are ...
