The weakening summer circulation in the Northern Hemisphere mid-latitudes

Smaller differences and greater extremes Has recent rapid warming in the Arctic affected weather elsewhere in the world? Coumou et al. find that some key measures of atmospheric circulation in the Northern Hemisphere have weakened during the summer. This change has been caused by the reduction of th...
