The report, particularly at the cited sections, has nothing about these circulation patterns either showing that they coincide with areas of economic growth or that they tend to preferentially warm these areas.

It's all about circulation patterns in the ocean.

Not exact matches

The results provide new information about the significant dispersion patterns currently un-accounted for in ocean circulation models, according to the authors.

Extrapolating from what we know about the Namib's dunes, Titan's longitudinal dunes offer clues about its global circulation patterns and might one day be used to predict its weather.

«We can also draw conclusions about past atmospheric circulation patterns, with implications for future climate changes.

Alley is talking mainly about D / O events and, like some others (Broecker for instance) tried to link it to the LIA, but neither the pattern of change, the abruptness, the ocean circulation change nor the magnitude actually match.

What about temperature affecting the cloudiness (e.g. advection of mild and moist air), and the role of circulation patterns?

There are continuing major questions about the future of the great ice sheets of Greenland and West Antarctica; the thawing of vast deposits of frozen methane; changes in the circulation patterns of the North Atlantic; the potential for runaway warming; and the impacts of ocean carbonization and acidification.

There is so little understanding about how the ocean parses its response to forcings by 1) suppressing (local convective scale) deep water formation where excessive warming patterns are changed, 2) enhancing (local convective scale) deep water formation where the changed excessive warming patterns are co-located with increased evaporation and increased salinity, and 3) shifting favored deep water formation locations as a result of a) shifted patterns of enhanced warming, b) shifted patterns of enhanced salinity and c) shifted patterns of circulation which transport these enhanced ocean features to critically altered destinations.

There is also a natural variability of the climate system (about a zero reference point) that produces El Nino and La Nina effects arising from changes in ocean circulation patterns that can make the global temperature increase or decrease, over and above the global warming due to CO2.

Now that we know much more than we did about ocean circulation patterns, intermixing and the like (although there is still much to learn) we need to get this message across in much simpler fashion than we have done so far.

The major circulation patterns are about large surface and bottom currents.

For the entire Northern Hemisphere, there is evidence of an increase in both storm frequency and intensity during the cold season since 1950,1 with storm tracks having shifted slightly towards the poles.2, 3 Extremely heavy snowstorms increased in number during the last century in northern and eastern parts of the United States, but have been less frequent since 2000.11,15 Total seasonal snowfall has generally decreased in southern and some western areas, 16 increased in the northern Great Plains and Great Lakes region, 16,17 and not changed in other areas, such as the Sierra Nevada, although snow is melting earlier in the year and more precipitation is falling as rain versus snow.18 Very snowy winters have generally been decreasing in frequency in most regions over the last 10 to 20 years, although the Northeast has been seeing a normal number of such winters.19 Heavier - than - normal snowfalls recently observed in the Midwest and Northeast U.S. in some years, with little snow in other years, are consistent with indications of increased blocking (a large scale pressure pattern with little or no movement) of the wintertime circulation of the Northern Hemisphere.5 However, conclusions about trends in blocking have been found to depend on the method of analysis, 6 so the assessment and attribution of trends in blocking remains an active research area.

I was formerly somewhat skeptical about the notion that the ocean «conveyor belt» circulation pattern could weaken abruptly in response to global warming.

Although the NAO is the dominant pattern of atmospheric circulation variability, accounting for about half of the total winter SLP variance on both interannual and multi-decadal time scales, other large - scale structures of internal circulation variability will also undoubtedly contribute to uncertainty in future climate trends.

Now let us look at the key claim that Tselioudis and other climate scientists make about how global warming will affect circulation patterns.

What about winds and a possible change of circulation patterns?

In case you're curious about El Nino / La Nina: El Nino involves the weakening of the Walker Circulation, an equatorial atmospheric wind pattern.

I don't want to make too much about the similarity between May 2018 and the mean of all summers from 2008 - 2017 as I don't expect the current NH circulation pattern to be the dominant upcoming summer circulation pattern.

Explanations evoking ocean and atmospheric circulation patterns radically different from today have been proposed to explain the climate of the mid-Cretaceous; however, there is no scientific consensus on how the Mid-Cretaceous warm climate came about (source: NOAA Paleo Climatology program).
