Re 9 wili — I know of a paper suggesting, as I recall, that enhanced «backradiation» (downward radiation reaching the surface emitted by the air / clouds) contributed more to Arctic amplification specifically in the cold part of the year (just to be clear, backradiation should generally increase with any warming (aside from greenhouse feedbacks) and more so with a warming due to an increase in the greenhouse effect (including feedbacks like water vapor and, if positive, clouds, though regional changes in water vapor and clouds can go against the global trend); otherwise it was always my understanding that the albedo feedback was key (while sea ice decreases so far have been more a summer phenomenon (when it would be warmer to begin with), the heat capacity of the sea prevents much temperature response, but there is a greater build up of heat from the albedo feedback, and this is released in the cold part of the year when ice forms later or would have formed or would have been thicker; the seasonal effect of reduced winter snow cover decreasing at those latitudes which still recieve sunlight in the winter would not be so delayed).

Also, just because the average pole - to - equator temperature gradient is decreasing doesn't mean that the seasonal variation won't still be in place, and then there's the whole issue of the hydrologic cycle intensification — a moister atmosphere carries more latent heat and thus may generate more intense mid-latitude storms as well.

The three different ozone databases yield changes in tropical lower stratospheric temperatures that differ by more than a factor of two at 70 mbar, although all have qualitatively similar seasonal cycles.

Stated in another way, the late Pleistocene climate was more equable than that of the present day, one in which seasonal extremes in temperature and effective moisture were reduced.

Have a look at the seasonal changes at Mauna Loa: The influence of temperature is clear: warmer in this case means more CO2 eaten away by vegetation and reverse when temperatures in the NH drop.

Climate change, resulting in more frost - free days and warmer seasonal air temperatures, can contribute to shifts in flowering time and pollen initiation from allergenic plant species, and increased CO2 by itself can elevate production of plant - based allergens.137, 15,16,17,18,19,138 Higher pollen concentrations and longer pollen seasons can increase allergic sensitizations and asthma episodes, 20,21,155,22 and diminish productive work and school days.138, 22,23

The ARGO measurements of ocean temperatures with depth shows that the seasonal variation penetrates hundreds of meters deep with a lag of only a few months or around 3 months, 1/4 of a period, to be more precise.

By using Siberian snow cover during the previous October as a predictor of the strength of the winter polar vortex, AER seasonal forecasts have exploited this relationship to more accurately predict winter temperatures across North America and Northern Eurasia.

One explanation for the seasonal offset is that the large summertime snow / ice change alters ground temperatures, and these ground temperature changes are felt more at ground - level during winter when the surface atmospheric layer is most stable.

By that standard, last week in Rochester we should have stopped preparing for winter given that we had several days of warm temperatures that surely made the temperature trends over some reasonable time period of a week or more positive rather than negative, as would be expected if this seasonal cycle theory was real.

The impacts of the marked seasonal variability of factors such as net radiation and / or temperature at high latitude sites are of far more importance for tree growth than the small seasonal variation in CO2 (a well - mixed gas).

As they state: «Satellite - measured skin temperatures are related to the surface air temperatures but do not necessarily have the same seasonal and diurnal variations, since they are more coupled to surface energy exchange processes and less to the overlying atmospheric column.

For example, reductions in seasonal sea ice cover and higher surface temperatures may open up new habitat in polar regions for some important fish species, such as cod, herring, and pollock.128 However, continued presence of cold bottom - water temperatures on the Alaskan continental shelf could limit northward migration into the northern Bering Sea and Chukchi Sea off northwestern Alaska.129, 130 In addition, warming may cause reductions in the abundance of some species, such as pollock, in their current ranges in the Bering Sea131and reduce the health of juvenile sockeye salmon, potentially resulting in decreased overwinter survival.132 If ocean warming continues, it is unlikely that current fishing pressure on pollock can be sustained.133 Higher temperatures are also likely to increase the frequency of early Chinook salmon migrations, making management of the fishery by multiple user groups more challenging.134

Seasonal climate forecasts indicate continued above normal temperatures in the more southern regions, with especially high temperatures in the Kara and Barents seas.
