A new pattern of the moisture transport for precipitation related to the drastic decline in Arctic sea ice extent
In this study we use the term moisture transport for precipitation for a target region as the moisture coming to this region from its major moisture sources resulting in precipitation over the target region (MTP). We have identified changes in the pattern of moisture transport for precipitation over...
