Global warming has a larger affect in polar areas, as the loss of snow and ice leads to more open water, which absorbs more sunlight and warmth.

The darkness of land and water compared with the reflectiveness of snow and ice means that when the latter melt to reveal the former, the area exposed absorbs more heat from the sun and reflects less of it back into space.

The new study says that water absorbs heat during the day, and then that some of the water (the part that doesn't remain on the ground to release heat at night) evaporates, so that that part of heat created by the sun doesn't remain on the ground but instead is transferred to water which leaves the area to perhaps rain downwind.

Coastal marshes absorb and store large amounts of carbon dioxide from Earth's atmosphere; they help filter out pollution in coastal waters; provide habitat for wildlife; help protect coastlines from erosion and storm surge; and can store huge amounts of floodwater, reducing the threat of flooding in low - lying coastal areas.
