A study by scientists at the University of Massachusetts Amherst claims to have uncovered a significant impact of atmospheric blocking on the rapid melting of Arctic ice, particularly in the Norwegian Arctic archipelago of Svalbard.
The research, published in Nature Communications, explained how the meteorological phenomenon has contributed to extreme weather events and accelerated warming trends in the region.
