Warming of December temperatures in the #Arctic by decade. The rate of Arctic amplification is quite large during this time of year and is radically transforming this landscape.

Data from https://doi.org/10.24381/cds.f17050d7

Four polar stereographic maps showing Arctic near-surface air temperature anomalies for the month of December in 1985-1994, 1995-2004, 2005-2014, and 2015-2024. Most all areas are observing long-term warming, which is largest at the edges of the Arctic Ocean on the Atlantic and Pacific facing marginal seas.

@ZLabe Question: Does the sheer extremeness make it difficult for climate scientists to interpret specific details?

Considering much of the map is covered in the darkest shading, I would imagine that while the direction is extremely clear (warming is happening and intensifying and caused by human activity of fossil fuels and such), I am not sure if this makes it more difficult to interpret details if this makes sense?
