Climate
Arctic sea ice loss could worsen droughts in Eastern Europe
A study published in Frontiers in Water establishes a link between the decline in winter sea ice in the Barents and Kara Seas and an increased risk of summer droughts across Eurasia. The researchers identify a corridor stretching from eastern Romania to Kazakhstan, crossing Moldova and Ukraine.
These changes could disrupt atmospheric circulation and contribute to prolonged periods of heat and low rainfall. Monitoring this phenomenon could help improve the forecasting of agricultural and water-related risks in Eastern Europe.Bron : Frontiers in Water, Euronews
