They influence global patterns =>
1feedback loop -
[diagram description: more → high albedo effect → more snow melting to poles → reduced snow cover]
2drives atmosphere
[triangle symbol] Jet Global Jetstreams like Canary Jetstream bring jet stream into Spain
3El Nino and La Nina => effect reduced or moderated by
the Pacific Decadal oscillation on the Indian Ocean Dipole.
4affect on human settlement =>
flooding => Spain
cloud burst => Uttarkhand, Kedarnath floods
heat waves => Europe, 2024
increasing susceptibility → diseases linked to mosquitoes etc.
