Re # 81 — Ferdinand, indeed the rate of
arctic winter warming from 1920 - 1939 seems equivalent that in the last few decades, as seen in both the Overland et al paper, and the Nansen paper, figure 2.

In Japan, Undaria grows fastest in the cold
arctic water that flows past Japan in
winter, but reproduces only in the
warm summer currents.
The
winter of 2011 - 2012 saw a return to very
warm temperatures, but the prairies and tundra, not the high
arctic, were the real hot spot (up to 8 C above normal).

During cold
arctic winters, I dig for
warm spots.
And none that would cause the
arctic to
warm faster than lower latitudes, nights faster than days, and
winters faster than summers.
Any alternative explanation must support the fact that nights are
warming faster than days,
winters faster than summers, and the
arctic warming faster than lower latitudes.
The
arctic air that moved into the eastern half of the region during January and settled in place across much of the region through February made the
warm start of the
winter season finish as one that was colder than average.
The
warming effect of carbon dioxide is strongest where air is cold and dry, mainly in the
arctic rather than in the tropics, mainly in mountainous regions rather than in lowlands, mainly in
winter rather than in summer, and mainly at night rather than in daytime.
Polar bears in the
arctic would typically put on a fat blubber layer going into late
winter, Dewar said, but Anana, a city bear, doesn't have that blubber layer this year due to our
warmer climate.
Is it also fair to say that like any other insulator each fixed incremental addition of more insulation is less effective than the previous increment — so that like having on five layers of clothing in the
arctic winter adding a sixth won't help keep you
warm nearly as much as going from no clothes to adding the first layer?

Depending on how far east
winter storm tracks travel up the east coast, the battle line between cold
arctic air masses to the west and
warm Atlantic air to the east causes significant temperature changes.
To summarise the arguments presented so far concerning ice - loss in the
arctic basin, at least four mechanisms must be recognised: (i) a momentum - induced slowing of
winter ice formation, (ii) upward heat - flux from anomalously
warm Atlantic water through the surface low ‐ salinity layer below the ice, (iii) wind patterns that cause the export of anomalous amounts of drift ice through the Fram Straits and disperse pack - ice in the western basin and (iv) the anomalous flux of
warm Bering Sea water into the eastern
Arctic of the mid 1990s.
A look at the DMI site reveal no summer
warming, but
winter warming in the
arctic, I would venture to say that the
warming between the
arctic and antarctic circles is far less than
warming north and south of it.
There were
arctic winters, blazing summers, serious droughts, torrential rain years, often bountiful harvests and long periods of mild
winters and
warm summers.
Considering that there were places in the
Arctic this summer that were 7 to 10C
warmer than average this past
winter, while some of us in the eastern and southern US froze our tails off — we got a very unusual freeze in S. Texas — due to the strongly negative
arctic oscillation (weather patterns go north to south instead of west to east), and considering that the data gaps are more in the
Arctic and inaccessible places, not here, one would expect GISS to come up with a somewhat
warmer average than Hadley & others this year.
Alarmists have eventually evolved to crediting
warming with producing greater snowfall, because of increased moisture but the snow events in recent years have usually occurred in colder
winters with high snow water equivalent ratios in frigid
arctic air.
Just getting through the effective black body discussion knocks half their argument out of existance, explains why water vapour doesn't increase across the board as predicted, that most of the
warming happens at nigh time lows, in
winter, in
arctic zones, and so pretty much doesn't matter.
The moisture that fell on Florida, Washington, NY, Germany, and all the other places affected by the negative AO this
winter was evaporated from
warm oceans and carried to the point that it collided with cold air brought down from the
arctic.
here in the
arctic, the owner of the shack out back is taking my «surplus» materials to use as kindling to stay
warm for the rest of the
winter.
