The other reason is that temperature changes are more dramatic in high latitudes than the global average, especially high northern latitudes.

International research partnerships are important because of the expense required to operate in the high latitudes; sharing the responsibility helps countries undertake more scientific projects than they could on their own.

[Further Response: It is true that the effect is strongest in high latitudes.

It has been recognized for some time that model simulations result in much greater warming in the high latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere than in the South, due to ocean heat uptake by the Southern Ocean.

If solar activity is a primary forcing, but «geometry and albedo effects would reduce the effects of solar activity nearer the poles,» as Robert writes, then why are temperatures rising comparatively higher in high latitudes than near the equator?

Logic says stations in higher latitudes with cooling trends could result in greater ice cover with a resultant increase in Earth's albedo and if continued long enough could snuff out any warming trend.

Climate model simulations for the 21st century are consistent in projecting precipitation increases in high latitudes (very likely) and parts of the tropics, and decreases in some subtropical and lower mid-latitude regions (likely).

Increases in snow and rain falling onto the ocean contribute to the freshening of the ocean surface in the high latitudes of the Southern Ocean.

However, increase of solar insolation in the high latitudes did not warm the tropics and so GAT rose relatively little.
