Washington Post features Climate Reanalyzer in article on warm North Pole

The Washington Post featured the University of Maine Climate Change Institute’s Climate Reanalyzer in the article “North Pole surges above freezing in the dead of winter, stunning scientists.” The sun won’t rise at the North Pole until March 20, and it’s normally close to the coldest time of year, but a possibly historic thaw swelled over the tip of the planet as a storm pumped heat through the Greenland Sea, according to the article. Temperatures may have soared as high as 35 degrees Fahrenheit at the pole, according to the U.S. Global Forecast System model. The article included two Climate Reanalyzer’s maps that showed a GFS model analysis of temperatures on Feb. 25 over the Arctic. Toronto Star published the Washington Post article. The Atlantic, The Conversation and Business Insider also included a Climate Reanalyzer map in articles on warm weather in the Arctic and cold weather in Europe. SFGate carried the Business Insider report.
