could someone give a better explanation than "This is not so good:"
ReplyDeleteSorry, it is just that the polar jet stream has moved very far north and by the looks of things, warm air is going straight into the Arctic via the Barents Sea, melting back the sea ice there and warming Svalbard to temperatures even in the 40s (F).
ReplyDeleteAs to the Arctic Oscillation, I probably shouldn't have written that cuz I don't know what I am talking about.
