The sawtooth in the carbon dioxide time series due to the annual cycle in northern hemisphere plant

Question:

The sawtooth in the carbon dioxide time series due to the annual cycle in northern hemisphere plant growth is dramatic. The data in Figure 5.1 come from Mauna Loa, in Hawaii. Based on the material in this chapter, predict how the magnitude of this annual cycle in the Arctic would compare to that in the Antarctic. Find the data online (link to data located at www.andrewdessler.com/data) and see if you can confirm your hypothesis.
