Arctic cyclone on 28 July 2020, satellite image

Satellite image of a cyclone over the Arctic Ocean on the 28th of July 2020. Studies have suggested that Arctic cyclones may intensify with climate change due to sea ice loss and warming temperatures. These storms can in turn disrupt sea ice and bring warmer water upwards. Image acquired by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Terra and Aqua satellites.
