Latest research on climate change in the Arctic

In March and April 2006 Weather published a series of articles on the latest research into the response of the Arctic to global warming. Here we offer these articles as downloads below (pdf )

The recent rises in surface air temperature leading to reduced summer sea-ice (Comiso) and major mass losses from the Greenland ice sheet and Alaskan glaciers (Abdalati; Boggild and Podlech) are likely to be featured in the Fourth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change due to be published in 2007.
