Short summary
Greenland blocking, which enhances ice sheet melting, has increased, but climate models fail to capture this trend. Analysis with reanalysis data and a seasonal forecast system shows that model improvements help, but they still miss the role of early North American snowmelt in shaping blocking patterns. This gap may explain the discrepancy and suggests that future projections could underestimate Greenland blocking and its impact on melting.
