If you live in the higher latitudes, it may be near impossible to get sufficient D3 via sun exposure.

Vigorous convective mixing in the deep tropics also dilutes changes in near - surface CO2 much more than at higher latitudes, so low - altitude sampling contains relatively less information about carbon sources and sinks.

This dependency to physical conditions is evident from how the temperature and precipitation vary from place to place: typically warmer at low latitudes and cooler at higher altitudes; more rain near the coast and less in the interior.

This is at odds with climate models, which predict higher increases in temperature at higher latitudes than near the equator, if GHGs are the main cause of the increase in temperature...

2) The IPCC impacts report speaks of rising precipitation in higher latitudes for at least half a century, while near - tropical areas grow dry.

Moreover, the seasonal, regional, and atmospheric patterns of rising temperatures — greater warming in winters than summers, greater warming at high latitudes than near the equator, and a cooling in the stratosphere while the lower atmosphere is warmer — jibe with what computer models predict should happen with greenhouse heating.

Most interesting is that the about monthly variations correlate with the lunar phases (peak on full moon) The Helsinki Background measurements 1935 The first background measurements in history; sampling data in vertical profile every 50 - 100m up to 1,5 km; 364 ppm underthe clouds and above Haldane measurements at the Scottish coast 370 ppmCO2 in winds from the sea; 355 ppm in air from the land Wattenberg measurements in the southern Atlantic ocean 1925-1927 310 sampling stations along the latitudes of the southern Atlantic oceans and parts of the northern; measuring all oceanographic data and CO2 in air over the sea; high ocean outgassing crossing the warm water currents north (> ~ 360 ppm) Buchs measurements in the northern Atlantic ocean 1932 - 1936 sampling CO2 over sea surface in northern Atlantic Ocean up to the polar circle (Greenland, Iceland, Spitsbergen, Barents Sea); measuring also high CO2 near Spitsbergen (Spitsbergen current, North Cape current) 364 ppm and CO2 over sea crossing the Atlantic from Kopenhagen to Newyork and back (Brements on a swedish island Lundegards CO2 sampling on swedish island (Kattegatt) in summer from 1920 - 1926; rising CO2 concentration (+7 ppm) in the 20s; ~ 328 ppm yearly average

Near - surface permafrost at high northern latitudes will be reduced as the global mean surface temperature increases.

Near equator angular momentum is transferred to the atmosphere, at higher latitudes the opposite effect persists, there are limits in what this combination may sustain.

The sea ice in the Siberian Arctic is peaking, its effect on the meridional temperature gradient strong, promoting increased zonal flow of large - scale winds, which advect warm air and moisture over the Eurasian continent from the Atlantic and disrupt vertical stratification near the surface and promote high cloudiness, both of which lead to increasing temperatures — greatest at low altitudes and high latitudes.

The resulting global climate is 2 °C warmer, with temperature increases of some 20 °C at high latitudes, and 1 °C near the equator.»

In contrast, during the summer at high latitudes, the troposphere warms significantly as a result of the long hours of daylight; however, owing to the oblique angle of the sunlight near the poles, the temperatures there remain relatively cool compared with middle latitudes.

My comment: So, I would expect more muons to be detected at high latitudes during a SSW and, due to the cooling of the stratosphere (increasing density) over the equator less muons to be detected at the surface near the equator.

Likewise on a global scale you have stronger heating near the equator than higher latitudes due to the curvature of the earth and the angle of incidence of the suns rays causing differential heating from the equator to the poles.

Nighttime winds in temperate and tropical latitudes tend to «decouple» at night, meaning that near - surface winds lose much of their connection with higher - altitude winds.

The phase difference plot between foF2 and PI (left plot) indicates the following regularities: (i) high - latitude foF2 9 - d oscillations are out of phase with those in PI; (ii) there is a clear seasonal dependence of the negative high - latitude foF2 9 - d wave response and this can be traced out by the zero phase difference line; it approaches high latitudes (± 60 °) in winter and moves toward the equator (near ± 30 °) in summer, and (iii) middle - and low - latitude foF2 9 - d waves usually lag behind that in PI; the mean time delay is ~ 1.5 — 2 days (~ 60 — 90 °).
