«I am very interested in these wind speed increases and whether they may have also played some role in slowing down the warming at the surface of the ocean,» said Prof Sherwood.

The wedge strategies rely on existing technologies such as wind power and fuel - efficient vehicles, so the activity drives home the hopeful message that we already have tools to slow global warming.

• Clouds form because cold air doesn't hold as much water as warm air • Clouds are made of water vapor • Clouds always predict rain • Rain falls when clouds become too heavy and the rain drips out or bursts the cloud open • Rain comes from holes in clouds, sweating clouds, funnels in clouds, melted clouds • Lightning never strikes the same place twice • Thunder occurs when two clouds collide • Clouds block wind and slow it down • Clouds come from somewhere above the sky • Clouds are made of smoke How does the 5E model facilitate learning?

My own view is, (a) if we wind up at the lower end of the IPCC expected warming, maybe we shouldn't be spending large sums to avert it, whereas if we are likely to land at the high end, the costs miht start to get fairly grave (b) nobody has a very good idea how much it would really cost to avert, or slow, global warming (hope this doesn't contradict (a)-RRB-.

Simple physics dictates that with less sea ice there is magnified warming of the Arctic due to powerful albedo feedback; this in turn reduces the equator to pole temperature gradient which slows the jet stream winds causing them to become more meridional; this combined with 4 % more water vapor in the atmosphere (compared to 3 decades ago) is leading to much more extremes in weather.

Another riddle was that previous research indicated that under global warming scenarios Pacific Equatorial Trade winds would slow down over the coming century.

The article found current CO2 emissions aren't falling rapidly enough to slow global warming largely because most public policy has focused exclusively on developing wind and solar power, which may actually increase emissions.

Slower winds could create wilder swings of the jet stream, allowing warm, moist air to penetrate farther north.

It wasn't that long ago the story was global warming was slowing trade winds.

Now the story is trade winds are slowing global warming.

El Niño - Pacific Ocean trade winds slow and almost stop which brings warmer conditions and weak upwelling currents to the eastern Pacific which hurts fishing in Peru

Some of the warm water would be subducted by Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation / Thermohaline Circulation, some would be carried by ocean currents into the Arctic Ocean where it would melt sea ice, and the remainder would be spun southward by the North Atlantic gyre toward the tropics so it could be warmed more by the effects of the slower - than - normal trade winds.

Much of it is forced down and it flows back to the east at 200 metres depth and when the warm water surfaces at the Galapogos Islands in 9 months (replaceing the water which is flowing east - west at the surface), it starts to slow down the Trade Winds because of the convection effect.

And since the temperature difference between the Arctic and the tropics is narrowing, and since it's the temperature difference that drives wind and ocean currents, then the jet stream that normally whizzes around the Arctic circle — thus keeping frozen air in one place and separating it from the warm breezes of the south — is, the theory goes, slowing, thus allowing warm moist air to penetrate into the north.

Wouldn't it be ironic if in the interest of global warming we mandated massive switches to energy, which is a finite resource, which slows the winds down, which causes the temperature to go up?

CO2, if it had any affect on trade wind speed should lead to the East to West trade wind speed slowing down, thus setting up the Pacific oscillation to its warm El Nino conditions as the predominant condition.

The normally west - to - east winds suddenly slowed and switched direction completely as the stratosphere rapidly warmed more than 50 degrees F in a matter of days (see figure below).

According to data from the Ocean Surface Topography Mission / Jason 2 satellite, ocean temperatures in the central and eastern equatorial Pacific are significantly warmer than usual due to slowing trade winds.

Additional heat released to the atmosphere from the opening ocean will amplify the Arctic warming and generate atmospheric waves which ultimately slow down stratospheric winds.

To summarise the arguments presented so far concerning ice - loss in the arctic basin, at least four mechanisms must be recognised: (i) a momentum - induced slowing of winter ice formation, (ii) upward heat - flux from anomalously warm Atlantic water through the surface low ‐ salinity layer below the ice, (iii) wind patterns that cause the export of anomalous amounts of drift ice through the Fram Straits and disperse pack - ice in the western basin and (iv) the anomalous flux of warm Bering Sea water into the eastern Arctic of the mid 1990s.

This intensification of winds initially triggers a rapid cooling of the sea surface and expansion of sea ice, but this is followed by a slow process of warming and sea ice contraction.

WHEN the skin layer is warmer than the water below (and not mixed by the wind), there is no obvious mechanism (other than very slow conduction) for AGG - enhanced DLR to penetrate the ocean.

«Recent research, however, suggests that there is a possibility that this gradual global warming could lead to a relatively abrupt slowing of the ocean's thermohaline conveyor, which could lead to harsher winter weather conditions, sharply reduced soil moisture, and more intense winds in certain regions that currently provide a significant fraction of the world's food production.

Enhanced warming of the Arctic affects the jet stream by slowing its west - to - east winds and by promoting larger north - south meanders in the flow.

Whilst largely unanticipated in the climate change impacts community, previous analyses have predicted a slowing in the overall circulation rate in tropical regions and, presumably, a reduction in averaged wind speed in those regions with greenhouse warming [Betts, 1998; Held and Soden, 2006; Vecchi et al., 2006].............

We know what burning fossil fuels does to warm the planet, but now research is showing that air pollution is actually slowing down wind speeds, hampering the effectiveness of wind farms themselves.

A statewide Renewable Energy Standard (RES), a requirement that utilities obtain a percentage of their power from renewable resources like wind, would keep Missouri thriving economically and doing its part to slow global warming.

The North Atlantic warms in a few months in response to an El Niño, through changes in atmospheric circulation (slower trade winds in the tropical North Atlantic, for example).

The researchers are interested in exploring these increases in wind speed to determine if they have a role in slowing down warming in ocean surfaces.

Evergreen shrubbery around the house foundation helps keep the house warmer in winter by slowing down the wind; and cooler in summer.
