Investigating Arctic total water vapour retrieved from satellite data - changes since 2003
For the past few decades increased temperature of Arctic’s atmosphere, where surface air temperature increase is more than twice than global, called “Arctic amplification“, has drawn a lot attention [1]. While many factors as changes in atmospheric heat transport from lower latitudes, sea-ice extent...

For the past few decades increased temperature of Arctic’s atmosphere, where surface air temperature increase is more than twice than global, called “Arctic amplification“, has drawn a lot attention [1].

Data for the period 2003-2009, derived from the AMSUB (NOAA-17) microwave radiometer have been examined. We have found that Arctic as a whole has positive trends in TWV, but we have also found high spatial and seasonal variability with different significance of the changes. |
