TL;DR Summary

A new study conducted by a team of Earth scientists suggests that cyclones in the Arctic have been forming more frequently and growing stronger over the past 70 years. The researchers found a clear association between rising temperatures and cyclone formation in the region, with changes in temperature gradients and the jet stream playing a role in their size and strength. The study also highlights that as more cyclones of larger size strike the Arctic, more sea ice breaks up, accelerating the process of climate change in the area.
