Sentences with phrase «cause changes in ocean currents»

Changes in global weather patterns As ocean heats up, hurricanes & typhoons will become more common Cause changes in ocean currents, which cause changes in weather.

Some scientists are concerned that global warming will also cause a change in ocean current patterns, shutting off the Gulf Stream.

Not exact matches

A number of causes have been suggested, including changes in ocean currents due to melting glaciers and volcanic activity.

These observations of spatial variation in relation to the terrain features are likely driven in part by changes in ocean bottom current speeds produced by the hilly terrain; this causes changes in the settling and drifting of marine snow.

Warmer oceans have also caused a distinct change in El Niño events — the warmer currents associated with the cycle have now been observed towards the central Pacific rather than the west, according to the Sheffield scientists.

El Niño — a warming of tropical Pacific Ocean waters that changes weather patterns across the globe — causes forests to dry out as rainfall patterns shift, and the occasional unusually strong «super» El Niños, like the current one, have a bigger effect on CO2 levels in the atmosphere.

The cause of the change is a particular change in winds, especially in the Pacific Ocean where the subtropical trade winds have become noticeably stronger, thereby changing ocean currents and increasing the subtropical overturning in the ocean, providing a mechanism for heat to be carried down into the oOcean where the subtropical trade winds have become noticeably stronger, thereby changing ocean currents and increasing the subtropical overturning in the ocean, providing a mechanism for heat to be carried down into the oocean currents and increasing the subtropical overturning in the ocean, providing a mechanism for heat to be carried down into the oocean, providing a mechanism for heat to be carried down into the oceanocean.

We have had lengthy heating phase caused by a spurt of insolation, now we have had a big El Nino, a subsequent shift to La Nina and the resulting warm currents moving up the the Western Pacific, causing warming polar oceans and changes in atmospheric water vapor content.

They describe abnormally warm or cool sea surface temperatures in the South Pacific that are caused by changing ocean currents.

He wrote, «The cause of the shift is a particular change in winds, especially in the Pacific Ocean where the subtropical trade winds have become noticeably stronger, changing ocean currents and providing a mechanism for heat to be carried down into the oOcean where the subtropical trade winds have become noticeably stronger, changing ocean currents and providing a mechanism for heat to be carried down into the oocean currents and providing a mechanism for heat to be carried down into the oceanocean.

So while admitting, there probably is a very modest amount of AGW in the current warming cycle, it could just as easily have been caused by: i) the effects of the huge increase in global irrigation, ii) tiny changes in the sun's radiation, and / or iii) the knock on effects of changes in the intensity and direction of ocean currents.

Also, couldn't changes in ocean currents have caused warming in various locations that would not be inconsistent with a causal link between CO2 and warming?

As temperature has caused ice to melt and currents to change, the oceans have increased in temperature more than the land.

A change in ocean currents, for example diversion of a warm pacific current to the Arctic for a prolonged period, could cause global cooling by eliminating ice in the Arctic all year.

This is not perfect because it is likely that climate effects such as ocean currents and oscillations, changes in biology, ice extent and volume changes, cloud cover variations, etc... are causing a kind of climactic Brownian Motion, hiding the signal in what, lacking deep understanding of these issues, we can only call noise.

In the almost sure knowledge that the earth never experienced a runaway greenhouse even with ancient CO2 levels 10 to 20 times greater than today, these anti-science scoundrels insist with a «high level of confidence» that this amplification is real and it's based on nothing more than faster than expected surface temperature rise in the past few decades which can be TOTALLY explained by multi-decadal cyclic behavior in ocean currents, trade winds, and / or solar magnetic activity causing small global average albedo changeIn the almost sure knowledge that the earth never experienced a runaway greenhouse even with ancient CO2 levels 10 to 20 times greater than today, these anti-science scoundrels insist with a «high level of confidence» that this amplification is real and it's based on nothing more than faster than expected surface temperature rise in the past few decades which can be TOTALLY explained by multi-decadal cyclic behavior in ocean currents, trade winds, and / or solar magnetic activity causing small global average albedo changein the past few decades which can be TOTALLY explained by multi-decadal cyclic behavior in ocean currents, trade winds, and / or solar magnetic activity causing small global average albedo changein ocean currents, trade winds, and / or solar magnetic activity causing small global average albedo changes.

Similarly, Demezhko and Gornostaeva (2015) found that the heat energy change in the deep oceans during the climate transition from the last ice age to this current interglacial occurred «2 - 3 thousands of years» before the increases in surface temperature and CO2, and that «the increase of carbon dioxide may be a consequence [rather than a cause] of temperature increasing».
