A low - altitude flow of warm, moist air from an ocean area combined with a flow of cold, dry polar air high up creates maximum instability, which means that parcels of air heated near the surface rise rapidly, creating powerful updrafts.

On the other hand, during those periods between widespread glaciation, the water had melted from the ice sheets and polar areas, flowed, back into the oceans and sea level was as high or higher than now.

Global warming caused the melting of the northern polar ice cap, and tropical storms ravage all areas that didn't suffer from desertification.

In summary, polar bear numbers probably increased in some areas during the 1970s and 1980s, and perhaps even into the 1990s, because of greater protection from direct human mortalities.

Is it not also therefore true that the polar areas of least water vapor, where a greater temperature increase from doubling of Co-2 would have the most effect, has the least W / sq - m percentage of both incoming S - W and outgoing L - W radiation due to the incident angle of incoming Sun light, the high reflectivity of the snow and ice, and the greatly reduced outgoing L - W radiation due to this?

Is it not also therefore true that the polar areas of least water vapor, where a greater temperature increase from doubling of Co-2 would have the most effect, has the least percentage of both incoming S - W and outgoing L - W radiation due to the incident angle of incoming Sun light, the high reflectivity of the snow and ice, and the greatly reduced outgoing L - W radiation due to this?

The northern latitude areas have benefited from rising temperatures due to the «polar amplification», but when the process is reversed they may suffer the most.

In contrast, the GISS analysis extrapolates data in those regions using information from the nearest available monitoring stations, and thus has more complete coverage of the polar areas.

The Greenland ice sheet is poised for another record melt this year, and is approaching a «tipping point» into a new and more dangerous melt regime in which the summer melt area covers the entire land mass, according to new findings from polar researchers.

The only comprehensive study of the Antarctic Ice Sheet mass was a 10 + year study based on continuous 24/365 satellite measurements over the period 1993 to 2003, covering 80 % of the AIS with estimates from other methods for the remaining 20 %, which can not be measured by satellites (coastal areas and polar regions).

The weather systems move towards the equator to allow the polar air north of the jet streams to cover a larger oceanic area and thereby draw more heat from the oceans to replace any energy deficit.

Indeed, a million billion trillion zillion new polar bears could have landed in the one area from nowhere, and the graph would look exactly the same.

But the «total power the earth receives from the sun» would still be less, if the higher albedo from a increased area polar icecap were taken into account.

The polar coverage of GISTEMP arises mainly from the fact that GISTEMP allows each weather station to contribute to an area of radius 1200 km around the station - this distance was determined by examining how temperature changes with distance in regions with good coverage (see Of Averages and Anomalies - Part 1B).
