Journal ArticleDOI
Recent Rapid Regional Climate Warming on the Antarctic Peninsula
David G. Vaughan,Gareth J. Marshall,William M. Connolley,Claire L. Parkinson,Robert Mulvaney,Dominic A. Hodgson,John C. King,Carol J. Pudsey,John Turner +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the significance of rapid regional (RRR) warming in one area, the Antarctic Peninsula, and discuss several possible candidate mechanisms: changing oceanographic or changing atmospheric circulation, or a regional air-sea-ice feedback amplifying greenhouse warming.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid climate change in the ocean west of the Antarctic Peninsula during the second half of the 20th century
Michael P. Meredith,John C. King +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate that the adjacent ocean showed profound coincident changes, with surface summer temperatures rising more than 1°C and a strong upper-layer salinification.
Journal ArticleDOI
Absence of 21st century warming on Antarctic Peninsula consistent with natural variability
John Turner,Hua Lu,Ian White,John C. King,Tony Phillips,J. Scott Hosking,Thomas J. Bracegirdle,Gareth J. Marshall,Robert Mulvaney,Pranab Deb +9 more
TL;DR: Decadal temperature changes in this region are not primarily associated with the drivers of global temperature change but, rather, reflect the extreme natural internal variability of the regional atmospheric circulation.

Antarctic meteorology and climatology
John C. King,John Turner +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the large-scale circulation of the Antarctic atmosphere was studied and the Synoptic-scale weather systems and fronts were discussed. But the authors focused on the distribution of the weather system and processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Climate change and the marine ecosystem of the western Antarctic Peninsula
Andrew Clarke,Eugene J. Murphy,Michael P. Meredith,John C. King,Lloyd S. Peck,David K. A. Barnes,Raymond C. Smith +6 more
TL;DR: Of the changes observed in the marine ecosystem of the western Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) region to date, alterations in winter sea ice dynamics are the most likely to have had a direct impact on the marine fauna, principally through shifts in the extent and timing of habitat for ice-associated biota.
