Polar climate change are both impacted by and contribute significantly to climate change. Receding of the Arctic sea-ice is expected to have significant impact on the ocean meridional circulation thereby on the Atlantic weather system with significant implications for the UK coastal regions and weather patterns. Melting of ice-shelves in Greenland and Antarctica also have implications for the global sea level rise which impact the coastal regions almost immediately. This project aims to employ results from IPCC-class climate model outputs to quantify the polar climate change and their potential impacts on global coastal regions and weather patterns, with particular emphasis on the UK.

极地气候变化既受到气候变化的影响，又对气候变化有重大贡献。北极海冰的消退预计将对海洋纬向环流产生重大影响，从而对大西洋天气系统产生重大影响，对英国沿海地区和天气模式产生重大影响。格陵兰岛和南极洲冰架的融化也对全球海平面上升产生影响，这几乎立即影响到沿海地区。该项目旨在利用IPCC级气候模式输出的结果来量化极地气候变化及其对全球沿海地区和天气模式的潜在影响，特别是英国。
