Positive and Negative phase

Figure 2 [Positive phase(left) and Negative phase(right) of the Arctic Oscillation] (Vizcarra, 2015). As I mentioned earlier, all the short period climate oscillation is fluctuating between 2 stages. An Arctic Oscillation has two phases, the positive and negative. When
Figure 3 [Pressure in Positive and Negative Phase] (NOAA, 2014). pressure is high in the Arctic and low in mid-latitudes, the Arctic Oscillation is in its negative phase while in the positive phases, the pattern is reversed. Positive phase of the Arctic Oscillation brings ocean storms farther to North, making the weather wetter in Alaska and around that regions. Whereas it brings drier weather in the Western US. So basically, higher pressure limits the cold air to Arctic. It also keeps weather warmer than normal in the Eastern US, but …show more content…
In order to stop or I would say slow down the global warming, we should prevent the arctic oscillation first. Mentioned earlier, one of the causes of the Arctic Oscillation is snow and ice melting. Everything is connected: the solution to decelerate the global warming is the same as the answer for Arctic Oscillation. One of the huge factors for all these harming Earth is human industry, which burn fossil fuels and release tons of carbon dioxide. Combining the thoughts from what we have learned so far, reducing greenhouse gas emission is the most do-able action that people can do. Since this greenhouse gas is directly connected to the thinning of the depth of the atmospheric layer in the Arctic, which has a huge impact on Arctic Oscillation, its’ unnecessary outflow should be blocked in order to prevent increment of temperature of Earth. People should contain themselves from burning natural gases for energy, meaning that people should try to save energy as possible averting the extensive problem, the global
