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).
Preliminary results of an analysis of rising temperature effects on three major river systems

MILANKOVITCH CYCLES overall favor N.H. cooling and an increase

winter (highly favorable for increase summer
snow cover), obliquity is 23.44 degrees which is at least neutral for an increase summer N.H.
snow cover, while eccentricity of the earth's orbit is currently at 0.0167 which is still circular enough to favor
reduced summertime solar insolation
in the N.H. and thus promote more
snow cover.
