This study also attempts an explanation of the reasons for this decrease. Using a variety of data (datasets from reanalyses carried out by ECMWF or other smaller scale simulations, satellite and radiosonde observations), the authors show that this decrease in surface wind speed can be largely explained by an increase in vegetation and, to a smaller extent, by changes in the general atmospheric circulation over the past few decades.
Increase in vegetation? Daar zou ik weleens meer van willen weten. Breidt de taiga zich in rap tempo noordwaarts uit door de opwarming?
