Sentences with phrase «warm currents transport»

Warm currents transport heat from lower latitudes poleward and tend to occur on the western sides of oceans.

«Using a numerical climate model we found that sulfate reductions over Europe between 1980 and 2005 could explain a significant fraction of the amplified warming in the Arctic region during that period due to changes in long - range transport, atmospheric winds and ocean currents.

Japan, the east coast of the US, northern Brazil and south eastern Africa are also strongly influenced by coastal currents that transport warm tropical waters.

As the oceans have warmed and the climate has changed, hotspots are developing in regions where the currents that transport warm tropical waters towards the poles are strengthening.

By analogy, a warmer world wouldn't be rainier (or cloudier); it's an imperfect analogy, because rain isn't absolutely correlated with cloudiness, and lateral transport of energy by ocean, air, and latent heat currents in and out of the E & W Pacific Ocean areas won't scale to global warming

Conceptually, it's hard to see how the Gulf Stream western boundary current could be weakened by conditions around Greenland; this is a fluid dynamics system, not a mechanical «belt»; a backup due to less deep water formation should have little effect on the physics of the gyre and the formation of the western boundary current, and it also seems the tropical warming and the resulting equator - to - pole heat transport are the drivers — but perhaps modulation by jet stream meandering is playing some role in the cooling?

The amount of warm water entering the Irminger Current is particularly limited because the sub-Polar gyre also shunts the pole - ward transport to the east towards the Barents Sea.

A greater - than - normal volume of warm salty tropical water was transported north with the current and this was drawn down into the ocean in the region around 60 ° N - where dense water sinking occurs.

15 Heat Transport in the Biosphere The unequal heating of Earth's surface drives winds and ocean currents transport heat throughout the biosphere Winds form because warm air tends to rise and cool air tends to sink air that is heated near the equaTransport in the Biosphere The unequal heating of Earth's surface drives winds and ocean currents transport heat throughout the biosphere Winds form because warm air tends to rise and cool air tends to sink air that is heated near the equatransport heat throughout the biosphere Winds form because warm air tends to rise and cool air tends to sink air that is heated near the equator rises

Conversely, during low solar activity during the Little Ice Age, transport of warm water was reduced by 10 % and Arctic sea ice increased.17 Although it is not a situation I would ever hope for, if history repeats itself, then natural climate dynamics of the past suggest, the current drop in the sun's output will produce a similar cooler climate, and it will likely be detected first as a slow down in the poleward transport of ocean heat.22 Should we prepare for this possibility?

When we get a arctic season with great cyclones, those cyclones can lead to a break up of the ice (more lateral melting), If currents conspire we end up with more transport out of the arctic (ice then melts in the warmer water), and we get Eckmen pumping and more ice melts.

Here, we have shown that this warming was associated and presumably initiated by a major increase in the westerly to south - westerly wind north of Norway leading to enhanced atmospheric and ocean heat transport from the comparatively warm North Atlantic Current through the passage between northern Norway and Spitsbergen into the Barents Sea.»

47 Warm, shallow current Cold, salty, deep current Fig. 20 - 12, p. 476 Figure 20.12 Natural capital: a connected loop of shallow and deep ocean currents stores CO2 in the deep sea and transports warm and cool water to various parts of the eaWarm, shallow current Cold, salty, deep current Fig. 20 - 12, p. 476 Figure 20.12 Natural capital: a connected loop of shallow and deep ocean currents stores CO2 in the deep sea and transports warm and cool water to various parts of the eawarm and cool water to various parts of the earth.

8 global circulation of deep ocean currents transports warm water to colder areas & cold water to warmer areas efficient heat - transport system drives Earth's climate

In the North Atlantic and the North Pacific heat transport is regulated by conflict of warm and cold currents: North Atlantic Drift and East Greenland Currents (NA) as drivers of the AMO, Kuroshio and Oyashio Currents (NP) driving the PDO, while in Central Pacific the South Equatorial Current is the key oscillator, the source of tcurrents: North Atlantic Drift and East Greenland Currents (NA) as drivers of the AMO, Kuroshio and Oyashio Currents (NP) driving the PDO, while in Central Pacific the South Equatorial Current is the key oscillator, the source of tCurrents (NA) as drivers of the AMO, Kuroshio and Oyashio Currents (NP) driving the PDO, while in Central Pacific the South Equatorial Current is the key oscillator, the source of tCurrents (NP) driving the PDO, while in Central Pacific the South Equatorial Current is the key oscillator, the source of the ENSO.

Current global climate models suggest that the water vapor feedback to global warming due to carbon dioxide increases is weak but these models do not fully resolve the tropopause or the cold point, nor do they completely represent the QBO [Quasi Biennial Oscillation], deep convective transport and its linkages to SSTs, or the impact of aerosol heating on water input to the stratosphere.

More current volume (heat content) or higher velocity (less heat loss during the transport process) across middle latitudes will result in global warming.

The research team links rapid sea - level rise within this hotspot to a slowdown in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Current, which transports warm water from the tropics into the higher latitudes.

The AMOC transports heat northwards in the Atlantic via the Gulf Stream and North Atlantic Current, making European climate significantly warmer than it would otherwise be.

The circumpolar current acts as a buffer preventing warm water from the tropics from transporting heat to the South Pole, a buffer that does not exist in the north.

This is because of the North Atlantic Current and large - scale atmospheric circulation which transport warm water and air masses from lower latitudes northwards across the Atlantic and along the coast of Norway to Svalbard (Figure 1).

Furthermore the reduction of the Loop Current transport through the Gulf of Mexico would decrease its direct interference with the oil and gas operations in the Gulf, and reduce the amount of warm water accumulated inside the Loop and warm - core rings which detach from the Loop.
