Greenland's 2015 melt records consistent with 'Arctic amplification'
> https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/06/160609064532.htm


> Following record-high temperatures and melting records that affected
> northwest Greenland in summer 2015, a new study provides the first
> evidence linking melting in Greenland to the anticipated effects of a
> phenomenon known as Artic amplification.

> Arctic amplification, in the simplest terms, is the faster warming of
> the Arctic compared to the rest of the Northern Hemisphere as sea ice
> disappears. It is fueled by a feedback loop: rising global
> temperatures are melting Arctic sea ice, leaving dark open water that
> absorbs more solar radiation, and that warms the Arctic even more.
> Arctic amplification is well documented, but its effects on the
> atmosphere are more widely debated.
