The increase in temperatures in the Arctic can be reduced by the air current that serves as an amortiguous species for the polar vortex, impeding that the air is precipitated on the surface.
Consequently, the experts point out that in the future there are more frequent episodes like this one in which the currents of the arctic decrease over time prolonged subtropical latitudes.
