    machines that are used to massively wipe out these areas. “Previous modelling studies show that the global surface air temperature (SAT) response to deforestation depends on latitude, with most simulations showing that high latitude deforestation results in cooling, low latitude deforestation causes warming and that the mid latitude response is mixed” (Longobardi). Deforestation causes 15% of greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere. Forests help lessen climate change because they absorb…

    circulation patterns exert a tremendous influence on regional weather and climate especially in the mid-latitudes in the Northern Hemisphere1. However, there is a significant debate over how patterns will respond to climate change. In this experiment, I will analyze climate models using a specific metric called sinuosity to determine how climate change will affect circulation patterns in the mid-latitudes. This information is impactful and important as changes in circulation patterns may raise…

    However, the ozone layers are found to be thicker at higher latitudes rather than at the tropics. Meridional and downward transport of ozone molecules in the stratosphere carries the O3 away from the equator and tropics, towards the poles where it collects to form thicker layers. In the northern hemisphere, the greatest column densities occur during spring at the polar latitudes. Therefore, airline passengers flying at high latitudes are exposed to higher ozone concentrations than those flying…
