High risk areas are usually found throughout
the equatorial regions where the climate is hot and wet throughout the year.

Head does not expect to find the same icy cover in the
equatorial regions of Mars
where Spirit and Opportunity landed, but he hopes the «scratch and sniff» tests — in which the rovers drill into Mars rocks and compare the surface with the interior — will reveal the climatic history of the
region.

«These chemicals enter the atmosphere at lower latitudes
where they were used, and are then deposited down from the cold polar air, so Arctic animals are more highly exposed than animals in more temperate or
equatorial regions,» University of Florida researcher Margaret James (who wasn't involved in the study) told New Scientist.
Jupiter's atmospheric marvels are not limited to its
equatorial regions however; Juno has provided unprecedented views of the planet's poles,
where massive cyclones churn with unearthly ferocity.
This chemical weathering process is too slow to damp out shorter - term fluctuations, and there are some complexities — glaciation can enhance the mechanical erosion that provides surface area for chemical weathering (some of which may be realized after a time delay — ie when the subsequent warming occurs — dramatically snow in a Snowball Earth scenario,
where the frigid conditions essentially shut down all chemical weathering, allowing CO2 to build up to the point
where it thaws the
equatorial region, at which point runaway albedo feedback drives the Earth into a carbonic acid sauna, which ends via rapid carbonate rock formation), while lower sea level may increase the oxidation of organic C in sediments but also provide more land surface for erosion... etc..
A super important bonus, not least for users in
equatorial or very hot
regions — the light is transported without the excess heat that comes with direct sunlight, rendering it perfect
where windows are kept to a minimum to keep the temperature down.
As far as water vapor in the tropics, they even say» In the humid
equatorial regions,
where there is so much water vapour in the air that the greenhouse effect is very large, adding a small additional amount of CO2 or water vapour has only a small direct impact on downward infrared radiation.»

equatorial regions,

In fact I understand that its motion is more cyclic, rising in
equatorial regions and falling at the poles
where inversion can prevail.
As reported by the IPCC in the Physical Science Basis, «In the humid
equatorial regions,
where there is so much water vapour in the air that the greenhouse effect is very large, adding a small additional amount of CO2 or water vapour has only a small direct impact on downward infrared radiation.
The winds are probably less efficient in that regard than the ocean currents are so we might well see a situation
where during a glacial, we have a situation
where the
equatorial region actually gets warmer than during an interglacial.
The differences are very small over most
regions (less than ± 5 %), except for a small area of the
equatorial Pacific Ocean,
where the non-high-end models project an increase in precipitation that is about 50 per cent greater than in the high - end models.
