That is, I imagine that the albedo feedback in the Arctic results in a long term amplification (heat is stored in the Arctic Ocean and contributes to more blue water in subsequent years), but I wonder if the feedback only exists intra-annually in the Great Lakes. Due to the seasonal mixing, perhaps each spring starts anew from approximately the same thermal starting point?Steve Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11808202186253600821noreply@blogger.com
