Since the region is at a high latitude, moisture from the nearby Pacific Ocean can accumulate into some of the world's most powerful glaciers.

But an upshot is that the land around Earth's equator, farthest from both ice sheets, is poised to receive the land - ice — sea - level double - punch: Increasing ocean volume and weakening high latitude gravity.

The fact that there are features in the North Pacific of the same polarity as those in the high latitude North Atlantic raises the possibility that the abrupt NH cooling from 1968 to 1972 might be merely the result of a fortuitous superposition of largely independent cooling events in the two oceans.

In the first major study to examine the effects of climate change on ocean fisheries, a team of researchers from UBC and Princeton University discovered that catch potential will fall 40 percent in the tropics and may increase 30 to 70 percent in high latitude regions, affecting ocean food supply throughout the world by 2055.

This means the inertia of earth has decreased due the massive snows that we have had during the past decade and more which moved water from the low latitude oceans to ice on high latitudes.

Figure 15 - A has shown the global pacing by the El Niños (and their tele - connections) of the temperature changes of the lower troposphere as function of both time and latitude; this pacing may be due to the coming to the surface, at high latitudes, of warm water from the Pacific warm pool, as they move to higher latitudes on the western rim of the oceans after an El Niño.

At many low - latitude ocean islands and coastal sites distant from the effects of glaciation, sea level stood several meters higher than present during the mid-Holocene and has been falling ever since.

When a large surge of polar air moves equatorward it draws a pulse of energy from the oceans in the lower latitudes and pumps it into the stratosphere where most of that energy is pushed out to space but a portion is not pushed out and descends again thus strengthening the high pressure systems on the poleward side of the mid latitude jets.

c Location of proxies from H = high - latitude land, M = mid-latitude land, L = low - latitude land, O = oceans is indicated by □ (none or very few), ◢ (limited coverage) or ■ (moderate or good coverage).

Research has shown that ocean acidification and climate warming can independently affect many marine organisms in a variety of marine habitats from tropical to high - latitude ecosystems [9,10].

COWL refers to northern, high latitude winds that carry heat from land to ocean (or vica versa).
