How could a difference of 0.5°C in global warming modify the mean and extreme climate conditions around Antarctica?
Abstract This paper quantifies the potential benefit of limiting the global warming to 1.5°C above the preindustrial level on the high‐latitude climate of the Southern Hemisphere compared to 2.0°C and above. A set of Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 global climate model experiments is u...
