Climate Change May Double The Number Of Lighting Strikes In The Arctic

Lightning strikes are an extremely rare phenomenon in the Arctic Circle – but as the global climate has begun to warm, these events have become more common. Just in 2019, lighting hit 483 kilometers (300 miles) of the North Pole, the northernmost instance on record. New research suggests that the amount of lighting is destined to double in the coming decades. As reported in Nature Climate Change, researchers have modeled the occurrence of lightning strikes at higher latitudes and discovered that by the end of the century, these are expected to increase by about 100 percent. We projected how lightning in high-latitude boreal forests and Arctic tundra regions will change across North America and Eurasia, lead author Dr Yang Chen, from the University of California, Irvine, said in a statement. The size of the lightning response surprised us because expected changes at mid-latitudes are much smaller.

Lightning strikes will more than double in Arctic as climate warms

E-Mail Irvine, Calif. In 2019, the National Weather Service in Alaska reported spotting the first-known lightning strikes within 300 miles of the North Pole. Lightning strikes are almost unheard of above the Arctic Circle, but scientists led by researchers at the University of California, Irvine have published new research in the journal Nature Climate Change detailing how Arctic lightning strikes stand to increase by about 100 percent over northern lands by the end of the century as the climate continues warming. We projected how lightning in high-latitude boreal forests and Arctic tundra regions will change across North America and Eurasia, said Yang Chen, a research scientist in the UCI Department of Earth System Science who led the new work. The size of the lightning response surprised us because expected changes at mid-latitudes are much smaller.

We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. – Martin Luther King, Jr., Letter from a Birmingham Jail, April 16, 1963 We are writing as a diverse group of Stanford staff, students, and faculty committed to Environmental Justice for Sustainability at Stanford. This weekend, faculty will gather for a deliberative democracy process guiding plans for the new School of Sustainability and Climate (SoSaC). We strongly encourage serious discussion on this vital question: how will Stanford build a truly innovative institution that addresses the most importan
