Comment on “Soon, W., and Legates, D.R., Solar irradiance modulation of Equator-to-Pole (Arctic) temperature gradients: Empirical evidence for climate variation on multi-decadal timescales” [J. Atmos. Sol.-Terr. Phys. 93 (2013) 45–56]
The conclusion by Soon and Legates (2013) that “increase in solar radiation has caused an increase in both oceanic and atmospheric heat transport to the Arctic in the warm period since the 1970s, resulting in a reduced temperature gradient between the Equator and the Arctic”, is discussed, and a dif...

| Summary: | The conclusion by Soon and Legates (2013) that “increase in solar radiation has caused an increase in both oceanic and atmospheric heat transport to the Arctic in the warm period since the 1970s, resulting in a reduced temperature gradient between the Equator and the Arctic”, is discussed, and a different explanation of the results is proposed here. |
