A strong, stable vortex is like a skater spinning with their arms tucked closely in, holding in an area of cold air over the Arctic. But when there’s a wobble in the rotation, winds in the vortex can ...

A lobe of the polar vortex will arrive in the United States this weekend, bringing the lowest temperatures in years and snow and ice to the East and Deep South.

[KOREA POLAR RESEARCH INSTITUTE] Scientists in the Arctic and Antarctica say humans are triggering climate change, warning that shrinking glaciers and icecaps in relatively unexplored polar ...

Today, due to the rapidly melting ice sheets of the Arctic Ocean, Greenland and Antarctica, polar exploration can reveal the immediacy of the world's climate change crisis. Without a significant ...

Scientists have quantified how much climate change has driven the population decline of polar bears living in Canada's Hudson ...

the stratospheric polar vortex and mid-latitude winter weather would improve our ability to anticipate these events and their severity. Mathew Barlow is a professor of climate science, UMass Lowell.

The images below show how the influence of climate change from as far away as the mid-latitudes can trigger an outbreak of arctic air over the United States weeks to months later. Unable to view our ...

Research is revealing how climate change is driving the Arctic-boreal zone's shift from a carbon sink to a carbon source.

Again, Cohen said, that’s explained by the polar vortex and climate change. As winters get warmer on average, the cold temperatures brought about by the polar vortex events essentially gets ...

We get cool winters and warm summers … well warmish! Other climate zones are very different to ours. A Polar climate is very, very cold and dry, but with lots of ice and snow, as it’s too cold ...

The system, known as a polar vortex, is forecast to bring subzero ... according to a study published in the journal Environmental Research: Climate. Strong wind gusts are expected from Montana ...
