Why did Antarctic sea ice hit a record low in February 2023? La Niña, a positive Southern Annular Mode and a negative Indian Ocean Dipole, together with low spring sea ice, helped set the stage. doi.org/10.1007/s00376-025-4… #ClimateChange
Figure 2 from Dou and Zhang (2025), Advances in Atmospheric Sciences. Top: composite Antarctic sea-ice concentration anomalies from austral spring (SON) to February for four positive-SAM/negative-IOD/La Niña events: 1998/99, 2010/11, 2021/22 and 2022/23. Blue shades indicate less ice and yellow-red shades indicate more ice. Bottom: years ranked from highest to lowest February sea-ice extent, compared with SAM, Niño-4 and IOD indices in the preceding season. Source: https://doi.org/10.1007/s00376-025-4309-9

Warmer world, bigger CO2 punch? Not quite. This research shows CO2’s heating effect grows 42% at first, but the atmosphere’s own adjustments cut that to 17%. doi.org/10.1007/s00376-026-5… #AAS #AcademicSky #ClimateChange

Air models keep underestimating sulfate pollution. Why? Missing dust and haze chemistry. Adding them to GEOS-Chem cut the bias from 63% to under 1% in a dust event. doi.org/10.1007/s00376-026-5… #AAS #AirQuality #ClimateScience #Climatecrisis
