Carbon Balance in Warming and Drying Tundra 2012

Dear Mr. Wood John Oatis per.4 How would the day heat up so fast if there is snow on the ground and you are in high altitude

Good question! Heat up is a relative term. The day began at around 30 F and warmed up to 46 F. The dogs are used to working and living in the cold, and here that means temperatures below freezing. When it gets above 32 F they really have a hard time getting rid of the body heat from running with all the thick fur and fat on them. Does that make sense?Thanks,
Mr. Wood
