Song calculates that the solid inner core spins just slightly faster per year than the rest of the planet, a difference that adds up to an extra revolution every 1,000 years or so.
They understood that the Earth's poles would warm more quickly than the rest of the planet, and how a reduction in ice and snow cover would change the planet's ability to reflect sunlight.
They recently found out the core rotates slightly quicker than the rest of the planet, but pretty much every layer of the Earth rotates once every 24 hours, give or take an hour.
Citing NASA's findings that the Arctic is «warming more rapidly than the rest of the planet», the report says planners must consider the safety of their teams when evaluating environmental risk.
So, how does this jibe with the idea of polar amplification, the idea that the poles will warm faster than the rest of the planet on average?
The analogy is not perfect, though, because unlike Earth's Arctic regions, Saturn's south pole is slightly warmer than the rest of the planet.
Because the Arctic is warming faster than the rest of the planet, the gradient is lessening and with it the jet stream.
Causes of warming trends at higher latitudes have gained more widespread attention from researchers in the past few decades, but the idea that the Arctic would warm faster than the rest of the planet has been around for more than 100 years.
In the Arctic, which is warming faster than the rest of the planet, 2017 brought declines in sea ice, with record lows reported from January through March.
Over the last few decades, the Arctic has heated up two to three times faster than the rest of the planet.

The NASA study considered in particular data from the Arctic, which is warming faster than the rest of the planet.
Now, a recent study in the Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society finds that not only is the Arctic warming eight times faster than the rest of the planet, but failure to account for temperature gaps has led global datasets to underestimate the rise of temperatures worldwide.
Since the Arctic is warming faster than the rest of the planet, the release of carbon dioxide from the thawing soils, and also of vast quantities of methane, will almost certainly accelerate global warming yet further.
The most reflective type of ice in the Arctic — multiyear ice that survives arctic summers — has melted with shocking speed over the last few decades as the poles warm even faster than the rest of the planet.
Action on these pollutants is particularly important to Canada's North, a region that is warming faster than the rest of the planet, in part as a result of SLCPs such as black carbon.

«Polar regions tend to heat up faster than the rest of the planet,» said Tom Wagner, manager of NASA's Cryosphere Program.
One of the perverse effects of climate change, and of the fact that the poles are warming up faster than the rest of the planet, is that Arctic sea ice is retreating more than we've ever seen before, opening up the Arctic sea to oil shipping and drilling.
One of the key predictions of climate science, that the Arctic would warm much faster than the rest of the planet, has come true.
For example, they assumed that all emissions from permafrost were CO2, rather than the much stronger CH4 which is easily produced in oxygen - depleted soil; the UVic model is also known to underestimate Arctic amplification of climate change (how much faster the Arctic warms than the rest of the planet).
