Climate warming amplified the 2020 record-breaking heatwave in the Antarctic Peninsula

S. González-herrero, D. Barriopedro, et al.

February 2020 experienced one of the most intense heatwaves in Western Antarctica, with a staggering regional temperature anomaly of +4.5 °C. Researchers Sergi González-Herrero, David Barriopedro, Ricardo M. Trigo, Joan Albert López-Bustins, and Marc Oliva delve into the role of climate change in the unprecedented heatwave, showcasing results that reveal a tenfold increase in the probability of such events since the mid-20th century.
