Blue-Action: Arctic impact on weather and climate
Blue-Action has been a major European research project investigating the effect of a changing Arctic on weather and climate.
It involved over 120 experts from 40 organisations in 17 countries, pooling expertise to improve how we model and predict the impact of warming in the Arctic region. Through a combination of empirical scientific research, advanced statistical techniques and enhanced climate modelling, it aimed to improve understanding of the impact of Arctic warming on regional and global atmospheric and oceanic circulation.
Overall, it has increased our capacity to predict climate and weather extremes in the Northern Hemisphere.
