Atlantic weather pattern shaped southern Greenland's rain and snow for millennia, sediments reveal

In high-latitude coastal areas, Arctic amplification means that temperatures are rising faster than the global average. This combination of rising temperatures and changing rainfall patterns driven by the North Atlantic Oscillation has major impacts on regions with a "cryosphere"—areas that host ice sheets and glaciers, such as southern Greenland. Present-day measurements demonstrate a clear relationship between positive NAO phases, increasing rainfall and cooler temperatures in southern Greenland.
