This aspect must be evaluated
in association with the pronounced body -
size variation within the sample, which implies marked
differences between age ranges and a
considerable degree of sexual dimorphism
in Au.
bozzza - The
differences in the Arctic are perhaps 1/4 the ocean thermal mass as global ocean averages, small overall
size (the smallest ocean), being almost surrounded by land (which warms faster), more limited liquid interchanges due to bottlenecking than the Antarctic, and very importantly
considerable susceptibility to positive albedo feedbacks; as less summer ice is present given current trends, solar energy absorbed by the Arctic ocean goes up very rapidly.
