Description:
<jats:p>Rising atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases are adding more energy to the Earth system, but how that extra energy turns to heat—and where that heating takes place—depends in part on regional variations in how the atmosphere and the land surface interact. Based on a historically high susceptibility to natural climate variability, driven in part by such land surface–atmosphere interactions, researchers expect Europe to be more strongly affected by climate change than some other regions.</jats:p>
