Description:
Future loss of Arctic sea-ice cover could drive a substantial decrease in California’s rainfall Future loss of Arctic sea-ice cover could drive a substantial decrease in California’s rainfall, Published online: 05 December 2017; doi:10.1038/s41467-017-01907-4 Persistent atmospheric ridging in the North Pacific steered storms away and led to the California drought of 2012-16. Here the authors use simulations to show that sea-ice changes trigger reorganization of tropical convection resulting in drying over California.
