Alaska thunderstorms may triple with climate change

 E-Mail Warming temperatures will potentially alter the climate in Alaska so profoundly later this century that the number of thunderstorms will triple, increasing the risks of widespread flash flooding, landslides, and lightning-induced wildfires, new research finds. In a pair of new papers, a research team led by scientists at the Paris Sciences and Letters University and the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) show that the sea ice around Alaska could largely give way to open water in the warmer months, creating an ample source of moisture for the atmosphere. This moisture, combined with warmer temperatures that can hold more water vapor, would turbocharge summertime storms over Alaska by the end of the century under a high greenhouse gas emissions scenario.

Vendée Globe: Alone but well supported

The 27 IMOCAs still in the race are continuing to battle it out at various levels, but all with the same goal of crossing the finishing line. The result they have so far accomplished in this Vendée Globe is largely down to their own efforts, but also to their remarkable teams back on dry land. All of the vital features ensuring the success and development of their project reveal the team aspect of solo racing. At the head of these teams, there is often one single person, a leader capable of combining race performance with technical management and relations with partners.
