GFS five day averages attached.
If you like the cold, go to Central Canada North of 60,
If you want to stay warm, go to Central Siberia as far north as you like.
So, which will have the greater effect, warmth on the Russian side, or cold on the Canadian side.
ps: DMI North of 80 Temperature is regarded as of little value as
-the calculation is weighted by latitude and not by area,
- the area measured is such a small faction of the total ocean area.
Is it not worse than that, at least in the sea ice minimum months as open water extends North of 80?
The summer value is held down close to zero because, we are told, North of 80 is ice covered.
This is no longer true. The image below shows a lot of open water North of 80. 25% of the total area of North of 80? In this area presumably surface air temperatures are not held down in the same way as the ice-covered region. To that extent DMI's published data is wrong?
