In recent years, climatologists observe unusual temperature fluctuations above Antarctica, which arouses serious concerns about the stability of atmospheric circulation.
These sudden changes, according to the researchers, could have a significant impact on the climatic system, not only in the region, but also globally.
According to climatologists’ data, the temperature above Antarctic has strange oscillations over several years. For this region, the norm is a temperature of approximately -80 degrees Celsius, so that any deviation from this value causes concern. In July, a temperature of -3 degrees Celsius was recorded, followed by a sudden drop to -65 degrees.
In August, the temperature increased again to -3 degrees. These fluctuations question the traditional conceptions about the climatic changes in Antarctica, which is considered one of the coldest areas on the planet.
One of the most worrying effects of these temperature fluctuations is the disturbance of the symmetry of the winds between the poles. Scientists suggest that this phenomenon is related to lowering the speed of the wind, which, in turn, disrupts the usual air circulation in the stratosphere. Stratospheric circulation plays an important role in distributing heat and moisture on the planet, and its defects can lead to serious consequences.
The disturbance of the integrity of the whirlwind around the North Pole allows Arctic masses to penetrate lower latitudes, causing extreme meteorological phenomena, such as record or drought in various regions of the planet. The researchers note that the southern Polar Vîrtejul, which is above Antarctic, is more stable than its northern counterpart, which could provide additional chances for its conservation under the conditions of an unstable climate.
Although research is in progress, scientists cannot fully explain the causes of these sudden temperature fluctuations in the stratosphere above Antarctic. This unpredictability reduces the reliability of existing climatic models and makes it difficult to forecast long -term changes. The researchers intend to continue the study of this phenomenon to better understand the impact of climatic changes on atmospheric circulation and possible global consequences.
Understanding these processes is essential for forecasting changes in the climatic system of the earth and for developing measures to mitigate the effects that could occur due to disturbance of air circulation. Success in this field could have a significant impact on how we interact with ecosystems and adapt to changing climatic conditions in the future.
