One of the predicted consequences of climate change is a shift in body mass distributions within animal populations.

Researchers have monitored changes in the distribution of Earth's mass since the 1970s by measuring how its gravity affects satellites» orbits.

This drift is due to the changes in the distribution of Earth's mass as the crust slowly rebounds after the end of the last ice age.

The study also found that the warming of the upper 300 meters (roughly 1,000 feet) of the Northwest Atlantic increases salinity due to a change in water mass distribution related to a retreat of the colder, fresher Labrador Current and a northerly shift of the warmer, saltier Gulf Stream.

«All these different modes react differently to the distribution of mass, so we can extract the changes in mode frequencies and use it to calculate where the mass is concentrated within the channel,» Olcum says.

Long - term observations of slight changes in the orbits of Jupiter's satellites provide information about the Jovian gravitational field and the distribution of mass inside the planet.

Mike Alexander, Alex Laskin, Yuri Desyaterik, and John Ortega, who work at DOE's Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory (EMSL) at PNNL and Xiao - ying Yu of PNNL's Atmospheric Science and Global Change Division, collected an extensive set of measurements of aerosol mass, size distribution, composition, and particle morphology using an array of in - situ techniques and aerosol sampling approaches.

For these models, eTwinsterX's precision torque distribution to the rear wheels can mitigate the change in mass, delivering greater agility and more engaging driving characteristics.

Then in the late 1930s, but mostly into the late 1940s, mass market paperbacks came in and changed distribution of novels and stories to readers.

Regional variations arise because the Earth's gravity field is affected in multiple ways by the melt of ice, due to the direct effect of surface mass changes (the gravity field is determined by the distribution of mass), the consequent deformation of the Solid Earth (removing a load causes the Earth's surface to rebound, which in turn changes the distribution of the Earth's mass), the consequent redistribution of ocean water (the ocean surface is shaped by the gravity filed) and perturbations of the Earth's rotation axis (because of mass redistribution).

Changing warmth in the stratosphere — changes the distribution of atmospheric mass in the troposphere.

The map shows the distribution of glaciers on the European continent, Svalbard, Iceland and in the periphery of the Greenland Ice Sheet together with the locations of glaciers with long - term mass change measurements.

The paleoclimate record suggests that these transitions were accompanied by changes in the ocean's water mass distribution, which likely played a key role in the glacial - interglacial shifts themselves, by affecting ocean carbon storage and thus atmospheric CO2 concentrations.

b) volumetric effects — change in the volume of water contained in the oceans and the geometry and areal extent of the ocean basins c) gravitational effects — change in the gravitational attraction of the earth (induced by deformation), by the change in distribution of ice and by the change in self - attraction of the water d) rotational effects — change in the moment of inertia caused by a change in the distribution of mass within the earth and on its surface.
