The climate can also naturally vary between different years due to the process of Earth system cycles, especially those associated with large circulations of the atmosphere and oceans. Examples of this kind of variability over years include major influencing

) air movement are indicated by arrows. Sea ice thickness at the end of winter can influence summer sea ice melt, with ice thicker than 2m thought to be more likely to survive the melt season (Keen et al., 2013). The CryoSat-2 radar altimeter has measured sea ice thickness over nearly the whole

Eastern Scotland: climate This describes the main features of the climate of Eastern Scotland, comprising the Borders, the Lothians, Falkirk, Clackmannanshire, Fife and the former regions of Tayside and Grampian. This region includes the cities of Edinburgh, Dundee and Aberdeen. The principal

% since the industrial revolution, this increase would have been almost twice as large if some CO2 had not been removed from the atmosphere through being absorbed by plants and the oceans. These natural sinks of carbon vary in strength from year to year due to short-term fluctuations in climate

substances in the air. Hotter, drier summers in the UK are also likely to increase emissions from wildfires, exacerbating air pollution.  Moreover, certain pollutants, like ozone and fine particulate matter (PM2.5), are radiatively active, meaning they can influence the climate by providing
