Partly this has to do with changes in ocean circulation taking warmer water deeper and partly as the result of the southern hemisphere having less land mass and more ocean — where the ocean has a higher thermal inertia, meaning that it takes longer for those waters to warm.

The greatest uncertainty is in how we react to the opening up of greater northern hemispherical land mass to longer seasons, the rate at which we abandon older cropland for more intensive agriculture, and the manner in which we introduce plant species, especially in forestry.

Seems to me the debate about AGHG global warming and increasing TC frequency / intensity / duration boils down to the fact that as sea surface temperatures, as well as deeper water temperatures rise, the wallop of any TC over warmer seas without mitigating circumstances like wind sheer and dry air off land masses entrained in the cyclone will likely be much more devastating.

bozzza - The differences in the Arctic are perhaps 1/4 the ocean thermal mass as global ocean averages, small overall size (the smallest ocean), being almost surrounded by land (which warms faster), more limited liquid interchanges due to bottlenecking than the Antarctic, and very importantly considerable susceptibility to positive albedo feedbacks; as less summer ice is present given current trends, solar energy absorbed by the Arctic ocean goes up very rapidly.

When a land mass initially is warmed, in has more moisture and gradually losses that moisture over time.

Once this La Nina faded, sea levels rebounded sharply, and that rise might have been incorrectly interpreted as some rapid acceleration in the long - term sea level rise, when in fact, mass was shifting back from land to ocean as rainfall patterns changed once more, but also much of the excess water on the land was draining back to the oceans.
