With the ongoing warming trend on Antarctic Peninsula (AP), amount, intensity, and frequency of precipitation is projected to increase by end 21st century. The future phase—whether rainfall will dominate snowfall over AP—remains uncertain. Warm weather events occurring AP have been showing frequent transitions, particularly during atmospheric rivers (AR) (Chyhareva et al., 2021; Wille Gorodetskaya 2023).ARs are long corridors anomalously high water vapour transport, which...
Keywords: precipitation, aerosols, microorganisms, Antarctica, cloudsClouds and precipitation play an intrinsic role in the global climate, upholding Earth's surface energy equilibrium water cycle. Despite their significance, clouds aerosols over Antarctica Southern Ocean remain poorly understood, primarily due to extreme environment for observations insufficient data. The Antarctic Peninsula (AP) has been exhibiting a significant warming trend last 60 years (Jones et al, 2019). Coupled with...
