Croll revisited: Why is the northern hemisphere warmer than the southern hemisphere?
The question of why, in the annual mean, the Northern Hemisphere is warmer than the Southern Hemisphere is addressed, revisiting an 1870 paper by James Croll. We first show that the ocean is warmer than the land in general which, acting alone, would make the Southern Hemisphere warmer because of its greater fraction of ocean. Croll recognized this and thought it was caused by greater humidity a...
متن کاملCroll Revisited : 1 Why is the Northern Hemisphere Warmer than 2 the Southern Hemisphere ?
7 The question of why, in the annual-mean, the Northern Hemisphere (NH) is warmer than 8 the Southern Hemisphere (SH) is addressed, revisiting an 1870 paper by James Croll. We 9 first show that ocean is warmer than land in general which, acting alone, would make the 10 SH, with greater ocean fraction, warmer. Croll was aware of this and thought it was caused 11 by greater specific humidity and ...
متن کاملCan the Atlantic Ocean drive the observed multidecadal variability in Northern Hemisphere mean temperature?
[1] While the Northern Hemisphere mean surface temperature has clearly warmed over the 20th century due in large part to increasing greenhouse gases, this warming has not been monotonic. The departures from steady warming on multidecadal timescales might be associated in part with radiative forcing, especially solar irradiance, volcanoes, and anthropogenic aerosols. It is also possible that int...
متن کاملNorthern Hemisphere tropical cyclone activity
[1] Recent historical Northern Hemisphere (NH) tropical cyclone (TC) inactivity is compared with strikingly large observed variability during the past three decades. Yearly totals of the combined active-basin NH accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) are highly correlated with boreal spring seasurface temperature (SST) in the North Pacific Ocean and are representative of an evolving dual-gyre, trans-...
متن کاملChanging Northern Hemisphere Snow Seasons
Spatial and temporal patterns in the onset, offset, and length of the snow season across Northern Hemisphere continents are examined for the period from 1967 to 2008. Full snow seasons (FSS) and core snow seasons (CSS) are defined based on the consistency of snow cover within a location over the course of the cold season. Climatologically, the seasonal onsets of FSS and CSS progress more rapidl...
