At present, such Indian
Ocean Dipole events are typically cut off by the end of the monsoon season, as the monsoon winds die down so too
does the
cooling near the coast of Sumatra.
Of course, the fact that dust has played a natural
cooling role in the past
does not mean that the deliberate application of iron filings to the
ocean surface would have a similar
cooling effect today.
Those
cool conditions, however, depend on whether Venus looked the same in its youth as it
does today — although the researchers added an
ocean, they kept Venus's present - day topography intact — and whether it has always spun as slowly as it
does now, taking 243 Earth days to complete a single rotation.
And, Stevens says, the study doesn't discuss the types of clouds that are thought to be the most crucial for future warming: low - lying clouds over the subtropical
oceans, which have a strong
cooling effect but may be dissipating as the world warms.
Climate models
do not predict an even warming of the whole planet: changes in wind patterns and
ocean currents can change the way heat is distributed, leading to some parts warming much faster than average, while a few may
cool, at least at first.
So the report notes that the current «pause» in new global average temperature records since 1998 — a year that saw the second strongest El Nino on record and shattered warming records —
does not reflect the long - term trend and may be explained by the
oceans absorbing the majority of the extra heat trapped by greenhouse gases as well as the
cooling contributions of volcanic eruptions.
However, the
cooling achieved by
ocean whitening is modest and appears unable to
do very much to maintain permafrost and prevent the release of the greenhouse gas methane.
Observations of upper
ocean heat show some short term
cooling but measurements to greater depths (down to 2000 metres) show a steady warming trend: However, the
ocean cooling myth
does seem to be widespread so I'll shortly update this page to clarify the issue.
While both seasons are now officially over, as
ocean waters
cool with the onset of winter, that doesn't mean storms can't still form if conditions are right.
You've got the radiative physics, the measurements of
ocean temperature and land temperature, the changes in
ocean heat content (Hint — upwards, whereas if if was just a matter of circulation moving heat around you might expect something more simple) and of course observed predictions such as stratospheric
cooling which you don't get when warming occurs from oceanic circulation.
Oceans are
cooling «
Ocean heat touches on the very core of the AGW hypothesis: When all is said and
done, if the climate system is not accumulating heat, the hypothesis is invalid.
The main reason March is likely to
do so, even though El Niño is waning, is because
ocean temperatures are still hotter than at the same time last year, and the
oceans take longer than the land to
cool.
I
did it all, basking in the hot Brazilian sun and the
cool spray of the
ocean breeze.
Forgetting to set your alarm and waking up to sunlight streaming in through your bedroom window, the feeling of soft green grass on the soles of my bare feet, crisp
cool morning air before a hot summer day, steel cut oats with sweet granules of melted brown sugar, the glittery reflection of sunbeams as they softly touch the water, the smell of the forest after it has rained, mornings spent curled up in a hammock loosing yourself in a book, walking everywhere because it's sunny and you can, teaching a first grader how to
do a cartwheel, watching the sunrise with someone you love, skinny dipping in the
ocean, braiding daisy chains into your hair prior to discovering a spider!

We'd highly recommend
doing this if you are fit enough to see what you hiked from the
ocean - very
cool!
The room opens out to the terrace using 3 accordion doors so
ocean breezes and numerous ceiling fans can
cool the room at
DO - 01.
The good thing about Aruba is that they are known for getting strong winds and those winds coming off the
ocean can
do wonders to
cool you down when outside.
it smelled bad too.There is NO beach at all, but they
do have a nice pool and a
cool lagoon area.The bar is fine and most workers are nice.The only real thing i liked was our view from our room, great
ocean view.Location is good, but if i ever come back..
Cool ocean breezes, salty hair, sun - kissed skin and that book you've been dying to get stuck into for months — beach life doesn't get much better than that, right?

While the islands many luxury hotels
do not come cheap, their surroundings, onsite facilities, rooms and service make them superbly worthwhile, and The Andaman, a Luxury Collection Resort Langkawi tops this list.Its 178 rooms are a study in
cool elegance - think Malay - inspired architecture, furnishings and fixtures, private balconies offering views of the
ocean or jungle, a bathroom with a large tub and glass - enclosed rainforest shower.
And Mary Heilmann's painting Pacific
Ocean, three
cool blue panels with a few angled black lines, doesn't try to mystify: It's either this or it's that, and that's it.
It is also astounding, all Polar Nations are scrambling as they never had before, to claim vast swats of
Ocean now seasonally open for trade, may be this is not damage, per say, but one may only imagine what will come next if the climate doesn't
cool down.
Are the episodes thought to be actual changes in the amount of heat being radiated by the planet (because the surface of the
ocean gets warmer and
cooler,
does the actual infrared flux from the top of the atmosphere then change as a result)?
2) «The
ocean too has been heating and
cooling for billions of years, so again, why
do we need a theory to explain why it's heating now (assuming it actually is)?»

In terms of the so - called «pause», it becomes more and more clear that the current
cool phase of the PDO is largely responsible for this «pause», but looking at the continued rise in
ocean heat content, and the nice job Cowtan & Way have
done interpolated Arctic temperatures, we see that the «pause», may have reflected a slowdown in the rise of tropospheric temperatures, but the energy imbalance of the climate system continues quite strongly.
The recent
cooling over Antarctica is well understood and most certainly has nothing to
do with
ocean circulation.
I can't tell how they've accounted for natural removal by the
oceans, and they
do assume other forcings (such as
cooling from aerosols) are removed.
And just as increased algal productivity at sea increases the emission of sulfur gases to the atmosphere, ultimately leading to more and brighter clouds over the world's
oceans, so too
do CO2 - induced increases in terrestrial plant productivity lead to enhanced emissions of various sulfur gases over land, where they likewise ultimately
cool the planet.
But what
do cloud measurements indicate for the
ocean regions with most
cooling?
For example, using chemicals to make the planet more reflective might
cool things a bit, but it would
do nothing to reduce other greenhouse - gas impacts, like rising acidity in the
oceans as they absorb more carbon dioxide.
So, if each underwater artic volcano emitted 1 km3 a week (a rather large average flow) and
did it for a year (about 52 weeks) you would need about 620 very active and extremely powerful volcanoes in order to warm the artic
ocean by just 1 C (and that ignores surface
cooling, in / out water flows and time rates that would require even more volcanoes.)
One thing I would have liked to see in the paper is a quantitative side - by - side comparison of sea - surface temperatures and upper
ocean heat content; all the paper says is that only «a small amount of
cooling is observed at the surface, although much less than the
cooling at depth» though they
do report that it is consistent with 2 - yr
cooling SST trend — but again, no actual data analysis of the SST trend is reported.
An example of a positive feedback is Arctic sea ice melting, which exposes the
ocean, which absorbs far more energy than the snow and ice
did, causing the
ocean to heat (or the air to
cool?).
Sorry, can't be
done; enough
ocean cooling to provoke 3 years of thermal contraction is not caused by a La Nina of a few months.
The scientists can now say with confidence that the
ocean did not actually experience a large rapid
cooling during the 2003 to 2005 period.»
It
did not «cause» the LIA, as indeed, you know the LIA was quite variable, but it made a serious dent in global
ocean heat content, and thus, was the doorway to the LIA
cooling period that followed.
Chris V. CO2 goes up, temp goes down,
oceans cool, sea levels decrease, arctic sea ice is within 1979 -2000 mean, AGW theory of catastrophic warming is B U S T... Even the fraudulent manipulation of the GISS data set
does not change that.
Yes, and I suppose when they
do they will understand you can't ignore a troposphere that isn't warming at the appropriate rate to the surface; you can't ignore a stratosphere that isn't
cooling at the appropriate rate per decade; you can't ignore an
ocean that isn't warming despite an assumed large energy imbalance; you can't ignore that if you declare a long lag time or a large long term climate sensitivity then previous forcings are subject to the same principles; and you can't ignore that the rate of warming was no different this last time then the time before it and the time before that.
Henry@Willis I think to explain the phenomena of why the
oceans do not get warmer than 30 - 33C When the top layer of molecules of the water in the reservoir reaches a certain temp., namely the boiling point at ruling pressure, it simply evaporates and thereby it
cools the remaining liquid in the reservoir.
When the
oceans are warm and the Arctic is open, it
does snow like crazy and that
does increase ice albedo and earth
does stop warming and
does start
cooling.
