I have recently posted on the 2009 Mathematics Awareness Month, a forum by the American Mathematical Society, the American Statistical Association, the Mathematical Association of America, and the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics that is a national-level event to spread awareness of the importance of Math. This year’s theme was Math and Climate.
I have recently submitted a paper to add to their list of Climate Articles entitled “An Analysis of Radiative Equilibrium, Forcings, and Feedbacks.” It’s a 21 page PDF file.

Contrary to popular impression, the ice‐albedo effect in transient responses is much more pronounced in the Arctic than in Antarctica owing to Southern Ocean heat uptake and a higher fraction of land in the North, which is easier to heat than water (Holland and Bitz., 2003). Presumably the NH/SH responses would be more similar in equilibrium.
