Extracts from the Article What's this?

The simulated thermal evolution in northern Eurasia is similar to that of Scandinavia, with a 1.6°C temperature decrease in both January and July (Fig. 8 a, b).

Our model produced a long-term cooling of ~1.5°C (Figs. 4 c, 8 b) and a precipitation reduction (Fig. 10 d) that agrees well with this paleoclimatic evidence.

A comparison of the maps showing precipitation anomalies (Fig. 8 ) and sea-ice changes (Fig. 10 ), shows that the maximum precipitation reduction (40–60 mm month ^-1 ) is found in Northern Canada close to the region with maximum expansion in sea-ice cover (up to +60%) during summer and autumn.
