Interannual Variability and Trends in Extreme Precipitation in Dronning Maud Land, East Antarctica by Lejiang Yu, Shiyuan Zhong, Svetlana Jagovkina, Cuijuan Sui, Bo Sun

“…This relationship, weak before 1992, strengthened significantly afterward due to shifting wave patterns induced by tropical Pacific sea surface temperature anomalies. These findings shed light on how large-scale atmospheric circulation and tropical-extratropical teleconnections shape Antarctic precipitation patterns, with potential implications for ice sheet stability and regional climate variability.…”
