Scientists Find ‘Statistically Significant’ Cooling Trend Over Entire Antarctic Continent
antarcticaEast Antarctica, which covers two-thirds of the South Pole, has cooled a whopping 2.8°C over the past four decades; West Antarctica has approximately 1.6″C. … only the tiny Antarctic Peninsula saw statistically insignificant warming.
German climate website Die kalte Sonne posted its 64th climate video here and examined a new paper on Antarctica by Zhu et al (2021): “An Assessment of ERA5 Reanalysis for Antarctic Near-Surface Air Temperature”.
The European Center for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) released its latest ERA5 reanalysis dataset in 2017 and Zhu and his researchers compared the near-surface temperature data from ERA5 and ERA-Interim with the measured data from 41 weather stations.
