What is the extreme high temperature at the same time in the north and south poles?

Climatologists point out that the simultaneous occurrence of high temperatures in the North and South Poles is unprecedented. Does the simultaneous high temperature in the North and South Poles further prove global warming? Global climate experts have different views on this.

Professor Andrew McIntosh, Dean of the School of Earth, Atmosphere and Environment at Monash University in Australia, believes that this weather event is a representative event of atmospheric warming above the ice shelf; Michael mann, a climatologist and geophysicist and director of the Center for Earth System Science at Pennsylvania State University, said that extreme temperatures in polar regions have exceeded the expected level, which is worrying.

Extreme weather phenomena are beyond the scope of model prediction. These events remind us of the need for urgent action. However, both Walter Mayer, a scientist at the National Snow Data Center (NSIDC) and Matthew Lazzara, a meteorologist at the University of Wisconsin, said that the high temperature in Antarctica is not the result of global warming, but if it happens again or even repeatedly, it should sound the alarm.

Until today, although global warming is an observable phenomenon, it is still only a hypothesis. As for the simultaneous warming of the North and South poles, more facts and research results are needed to reveal the real reason in the future. The first thing to see is that there is indeed an unusually high temperature in the north and south poles.

On March 18, maximiliano herrera, an extreme weather record tracking agency, tweeted that the temperature at Concordia Station, which is 3.4 kilometers above sea level in Antarctica, reached MINUS 12.2 degrees Celsius, which was nearly 40 degrees Celsius higher than the historical average temperature in the same period, while the temperature at Dongfang Station (Oriental Station) with higher altitude reached MINUS 17.7 degrees Celsius, which was about 65,440 degrees Celsius higher than the historical record.

The temperature in coastal terranova is also well above freezing point, reaching 7 degrees Celsius. At the same time, the temperature of some weather stations near the North Pole is about 28 degrees Celsius higher than the average level in the same period. Compared with the baseline temperature from 1979 to 2000, the overall temperature of the Antarctic continent increased by about 4.8 degrees Celsius on March 18. On that day, the overall temperature in the Arctic was 3.3 degrees Celsius higher than the average temperature from 1979 to 2000. Especially in the Antarctic, especially in summer and autumn, the high temperature is even more amazing. Even in the Arctic in winter and spring, the temperature rises at the same time, which is even more interesting.

However, there are different explanations for the simultaneous warming of the North and South poles. There are several theories about Antarctic warming. Generally speaking, the simultaneous increase of temperature in the north and south poles is related to the transport of heat and water to the poles.

One is Alex Sen Gupta, an associate professor at the University of New South Wales in Australia, who said that strong winds from Australia are the cause of the abnormal temperature in Antarctica.

Second, Professor Julie Albrast, a climate researcher at Monash University in Australia, believes that heavy rainfall clouds bring warm and humid air over the eastern Antarctic, leading to an increase in local temperature. The third explanation is that the extreme high temperature at the poles is the result of the violent oscillation of the westerly belt, which blocks the high pressure from entering the South Arctic Circle.
