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.

TL;DR: In 2016, the Antarctic sea ice extent (SIE) decreased at a record rate of 75'×'103'km2'day-1, which was 46% faster than the mean rate and 18% higher than in any previous spring season during the satellite era as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: In this article, the impact of four cloud microphysical schemes (Thompson, Morrison, WRF Single-Moment 5-class, and WRF Double-moment 6-class) on summer monsoon precipitation in the Langtang Valley in the central Nepalese Himalayas, as simulated by the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model at 1-km grid spacing for a 10-day period in July 2012.

TL;DR: In this article, satellite data and a 35-year hindcast of the Amundsen Sea Embayment summer climate using the Weather Research and Forecasting model are used to understand how regional and large-scale atmospheric variability affects thinning of ice shelves in this sector of West Antarctica by melting from above and below (linked to intrusions of warm water caused by anomalous westerlies over the continental shelf edge).

TL;DR: In this article, results from a recent version of the Polar Weather Research and Forecasting model (Polar WRF) covering West Antarctica at a high horizontal resolution of 5 km were validated against near-surface meteorological observations.
