Paper Title: Rapid poleward range expansion of tropical reef corals in response to rising sea surface temperatures ❋ David Kroodsma (2011)

This study is the first to show that reefs are already moving poleward because of warming temperatures. ❋ David Kroodsma (2011)

Also published last week were articles about Arctic permafrost, tropical cyclones, extinction rates, the climatic history of the Pacific Northwest, and the poleward expansion of coral reefs. ❋ David Kroodsma (2011)

This led to a specific set of requirements for night time winter performance at 60 deg latitude ... by the time the landing site process showed that there were few sites poleward of 30 degrees of interest to the science community, it was too late to reexamine and perhaps find cost savings in the design of hardware that no longer needed to operate at the extremely low temperatures ❋ Unknown (2008)

On the other hand, the westward shift of the two upper-level features projected over the next several days effectively moves the poleward (northward) flow on the western periphery of the Atlantic high pressure area closer to home, and coarsely outlines a path for a landfall from the Caribbean though the Gulf of Mexico. ❋ Unknown (2010)

The thermohaline circulation is the global-scale overturning in the ocean that transports significant heat via a poleward flow of warm surface water and an equatorward return of cold, less saline water at depth. ❋ Unknown (2009)

It is likely that the distributions of many species would shift poleward and that there would be significant changes in the arctic ecosystem. ❋ Unknown (2009)

During the early Holocene (10,000 – 8,000 years BP), orbital variations (the Milankovitch [29] theory of a 41,000-year cycle of variation in orbital obliquity) resulted in approximately 8% higher summer insolation and 8% lower winter insolation compared to present-day values poleward of 60° N [30]. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Conifers are, however, abundant within the circumpolar Arctic (particularly in northwestern Canada, Alaska, and Eurasia), with the northernmost conifers in the world located poleward of 72° N on the Taymir Peninsula, northern Siberia [22]. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Steppes on the poleward fringes of the tropical deserts grade into the Mediterranean climate in many places. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Such shifts have not been recorded in the Arctic, although Parmesan and Yohe [76] claim to have identified a poleward displacement of species ranges of 6.1 km per decade globally. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Predictions include increased primary and secondary productivity with a greater carrying capacity, increased catches for species favored by a warm regime, poleward shifts in the distributions of some cold-water species, and possible negative effects on ice-associated species. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Freshwater feedback to poleward transport of heat and freshwater ❋ Unknown (2009)

While the potential exists for sea-ice variations to have significant global impacts [34], variations in the temperature and salinity of ocean water adverted poleward from lower latitudes may explain much of the variability in deep convection in the thermohaline subpolar seas. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Since all of these variables permit evaluations of sea ice extent (defined as the area poleward of the ice edge), ice extent is used for comparisons between the various models. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The areal coverage of sea ice (excluding open water poleward of the ice edge) ranges from 5 to 6 million km2 in late summer to about 14 million km2 in the late winter [5]. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Some of these differences are due to the poleward intrusion of warm ocean currents such as the Gulf Stream and the southward extension of cold air masses. ❋ Unknown (2009)
