Still, because organisms at northern latitudes have evolved in a world of high ozone, «they may be susceptible to even a few percent increase in UV,» Newman says.

«Plastic litter taints the sea surface, even in the Arctic: For the first time, researchers survey litter on sea surface at such high latitudes.»

However, auroras can occur at even higher latitudes.

The warm air above nocturnal or polar inversions, or even stable air masses with small positive lapse rates, are warmer than otherwise because of heat capacity and radiant + convective heating during daytime and / or because of heating occurring at other latitudes / regions that is transported to higher latitudes / regions.

Also, if you look at Table T2 in this paper, you will see that ocean sea surface heat storage 0 - 700m from 1955 - 2003 (in W / m2) is always higher at northern latitudes than the corresponding southern latitudes in every case, even with the extensive Southern Ocean warming as noted by Gavin responding to # 18.

At polar latitudes, the sun never rises high above the horizon, even during mid-summer, thus the direct beam energy is not well characterized.

Even when sea ice errors can be quantified, it is difficult to isolate their causes, which might arise from deficiencies in the representation of sea ice itself, but could also be due to flawed simulation of the atmospheric and oceanic fields at high latitudes that drive ice movement (see Sections 8.3.1, 8.3.2 and 11.3.8).

Is an Arctic loss really worse than +1.5 Mkm ^ 2 gain down south if the Arctic loss occurs at very high latitudes with less solar elevation angle even at the solstice?

It is seen that the zero phase difference line approaches high latitudes in winter and moves to middle, even tropical latitudes during summer at both hemispheres.

Even that which falls on land at higher latitudes tends to be carried toward the sea on north - flowing rivers, and so into the already somewhat less salty Arctic Ocean.

Even so, a major US solar thermal power company has teamed up with a Chinese power equipment manufacturer to push the limits of concentrating solar power at high latitudes in China.

From CO2 estimate like this, we don't see that Antarctic glaciation 35 million years ago could have occurred at much more than 800 ppm, and the much higher CO2 levels before that were even favorable for forests at polar latitudes.

For example, atmospheric GCM simulations driven by reconstructed SSTs from the Pliocene Research Interpretations and Synoptic Mapping Group (Dowsett et al., 1996; Dowsett et al., 2005) produced winter surface air temperature warming of 10 °C to 20 °C at high northern latitudes with 5 °C to 10 °C increases over the northern North Atlantic (~ 60 ° N), whereas there was essentially no tropical surface air temperature change (or even slight cooling)(Chandler et al., 1994; Sloan et al., 1996; Haywood et al., 2000, Jiang et al., 2005).

A new study in the Arctic north shows that water at the higher latitudes are undergoing as serious changes as other areas, but they're changing at an even faster rate.Physorg writes that researchers from nine European countries have turned a coal mine village off the coast of Ny - Aalesund, just shy of 750 miles from the North Pole, into a laboratory site during July in a major effort to understand how ocean acidification is altering the northern water.

In the tropics carbon is returned to the atmosphere within a few decades, whereas at high latitudes won't it last much longer and even simply build up in the soil indefinitely?

Even though the planet is getting warmer, cold weather still happens in winter or at very high elevations or high latitudes year - round.

Such deep stratification is efficiently produced, even in single - basin, single - hemisphere simulations, in the presence of a partially topographically blocked channel at high latitudes, provided there is also a surface meridional temperature gradient across the channel.

Given more warming at higher latitudes, even this would be an understatement of anomalies for the Arctic.
