In a new paper in Climate Dynamics, a group of scientists at the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research has shown that wintertime systematical errors in General Circulation Models (GCM) over the Arctic can largely be attributed to the large vertical distance between of computational (grid) points employed.

Observed record-high ocean temperatures and salinities are ascribed to changes in the circulation of the North Atlantic. They have important implications for the climate in northern Europe. On the one hand, the high salinity of the water masses will secure that the strength of the Gulf Stream system is maintained the upcoming decades. On the other hand, the high temperatures will enhance the impacts of global warming on the climate of the Northern Hemisphere

This book is the outcome of an effort by the Bjerknes Centre to summarize the research status concerning the role of the Nordic Seas in the climate system.
