Assessments of the Arctic amplification and the changes in the Arctic sea surface
Advances in Climate Change Research, 2019 Although dramatic warming is occurring in the Arctic, it is incomplete to provide an estimate to the Arctic Amplification (AA) based only on the surface air temperature (SAT) obtained at a few land stations.

The Recent Emergence of Arctic Amplification [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2021 Abstract Arctic Amplification is robustly seen in climate model simulations of future warming and in the paleoclimate record. Here, we focus on the past century of observations. We show that Arctic Amplification is only a recent phenomenon, and that for much of this period the Arctic cooled while the global‐mean temperature rose.

Evidence of high-elevation amplification versus Arctic amplification. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2016 AbstractElevation-dependent warming in high-elevation regions and Arctic amplification are of tremendous interest to many scientists who are engaged in studies in climate change. Here, using annual mean temperatures from 2781 global stations for the 1961–2010 period, we find that the warming for the world’s high-elevation stations (>500 m above sea ...

An analytic theory for the degree of Arctic Amplification. [PDF]
Nat CommunAbstractArctic Amplification (AA), the amplified surface warming in the Arctic relative to the globe, is a salient feature of climate change. While the basic physical picture of AA has been depicted, how its degree is determined has not been clearly understood.

Arctic amplification is caused by sea-ice loss under increasing CO2 [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2019 The cause of Arctic amplification is still heavily debated. Here the authors present climate change simulations to show that sea-ice loss is essential for the existence of Arctic amplification.

Mechanism of seasonal Arctic sea ice evolution and Arctic amplification [PDF]
The Cryosphere, 2016 Sea ice loss is proposed as a primary reason for the Arctic amplification, although the physical mechanism of the Arctic amplification and its connection with sea ice melting is still in debate.

Arctic amplification metrics [PDF]
International Journal of Climatology, 2018 One of the defining features of both recent and historical cases of global climate change is Arctic amplification (AA). This is the more rapid change in the surface air temperature (SAT) in the Arctic compared to some wider reference region, such as the Northern Hemisphere (NH) mean.

Arctic amplification has already peaked
Environmental Research Letters, 2023 It has been demonstrated that the Arctic has warmed at almost four times the global average rate since 1979, a phenomenon known as Arctic amplification.

Environmental Research: ClimateAnthropogenic climate change has a disproportionate effect on the Arctic, with the Arctic warming at approximately 2–4 times the rate of the global average, a phenomenon known as Arctic amplification. The greater rate of warming in the Arctic is not only

Causes and consequences of Arctic amplification elucidated by coordinated multimodel experiments [PDF]
Communications Earth & EnvironmentHuman-induced warming is amplified in the Arctic, but its causes and consequences are not precisely known. Here, we review scientific advances facilitated by the Polar Amplification Model Intercomparison Project.
