BEIJING, Jan. 3 (Xinhua) — A new study has clearly confirmed that Antarctic amplification will take place in the future and also further revealed its physical mechanism.
The study, led by researchers of the Institute of Global Change and Polar Meteorology under the Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences (CAMS), was recently published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters.
Based on observations from more than 200 stations in Antarctica and via China’s first-generation of global atmospheric and land surface reanalysis products, the research team was for the first time able to detect a continent-wide warming signal across Antarctica.
The study demonstrates a robust warming signal over the Antarctic continent under the 2 degrees Celsius warming scenario of the Paris Agreement, with its overall warming magnitude being 1.4 times more than the average for the Southern Hemisphere.
