The reason for the heat that makes people wear shorts in Antarctica revealed

A study carried out in the US discussed the causes of the abnormal heat wave at the Concordia station in Antarctica, which caused the temperature to rise to 11.5 degrees Celsius almost below zero on March 18, 2022.

CLIMATE CHANGE IS NOT EFFECTIVE

The research showed that the effect of climate change was minor in the heat wave that led some researchers to wear shorts in the region, where seasonal norms are about minus 49 degrees Celsius, while the main reason was natural variability. region of.

The researchers, who created a simulation to measure the difference, determined that the effect of climate change only occurred around 2 degrees, and noted that the heat wave in question was caused by an unusual weather situation that brought warm, humid air from Australia.

The results of the research were published in the journal Advancing Earth and Space Science (AGU). (AA)
