Alaska thunderstorms could triple if climate trends continue, scientists warn

Alaska thunderstorms could triple if climate trends continue, scientists warn 25 Feb 2021 / 03:17 H. By Yereth Rosen ANCHORAGE, Feb 24 (Reuters) - Alaska may need to brace for more thunderstorms along with the landslides, floods and wildfires they can bring if current climate trends continue, a team of scientists warns. Two studies suggest the rapidly warming U.S. state could see triple the number of thunderstorms by the end of this century. As air temperatures rise, the atmosphere holds more moisture and can also cause more rapid updrafts two key factors in lightning. But Alaska is also affected by the rapid retreat of Arctic sea ice, which is exposing more open water nearby, allowing more water vapor to enter the air, the scientists explain in the two related papers published in the journal Climate Dynamics. The first was published in September (https://bit.ly/3klRfiC), and the second on Tuesday. (https://bit.ly/2ZQ3Qks)
