Sentences with phrase «also changes in the atmospheric circulation»

I think it is really important to make that distinction - that there are a number of factors that influence the extent of Arctic sea ice, some of them of course associated with changes in the radiative forcing from the atmosphere, as a result of anthropogenic greenhouse gases and aerosols, but also changes in the atmospheric circulation and also the advection of heat into or out of the Arctic by the ocean circulation.

World weather patterns will also start to change, as a frigid Antarctic continent and the icy ocean currents that surround it play an important role in global atmospheric and oceanic circulation.
The same might also be said about the NAO regarding repeated claims that the NAO index pressure differences are the cause, rather than the result, of changes in atmospheric circulation, i.e., weather.
It is also my understanding that the oceanic and atmospheric circulations are intrinsically linked, so that changes in one are likely to lead to changes in another.
Since El Nino also has an important impact on the Asian Summer Monsoon in particular, its hard to know precisely what large - scale changes in atmospheric circulation are due to the radiative forcing of the eruption itself, and the secondary response to that eruption of ENSO.

Yet, we explained there is also reasonable basis for concern that a warming world may at least temporarily increase tornado damage including the fact that oceans are now warmer, and regional ocean circulation cycles such as La Nina / El Nino patterns in the Pacific which affect upper atmospheric conditions appear to becoming more chaotic under the influence of climate change.
Francis, who wasn't involved with either study, is one of the main proponents of an idea that by altering how much heat the ocean lets out, sea ice melt and Arctic warming can also change atmospheric circulation patterns, in particular by making the jet stream form larger peaks, or highs, and troughs, or lows.
The first point to dispense with is the reference to Sections 3.2.2.7 and 3.6.4 in support of the claim that «the locations of greatest socioeconomic development are also those that have been most warmed by atmospheric circulation changes

«The authors write that North Pacific Decadal Variability (NPDV) «is a key component in predictability studies of both regional and global climate change,»... they emphasize that given the links between both the PDO and the NPGO with global climate, the accurate characterization and the degree of predictability of these two modes in coupled climate models is an important «open question in climate dynamics» that needs to be addressed... report that model - derived «temporal and spatial statistics of the North Pacific Ocean modes exhibit significant discrepancies from observations in their twentieth - century climate... conclude that «for implications on future climate change, the coupled climate models show no consensus on projected future changes in frequency of either the first or second leading pattern of North Pacific SST anomalies,» and they say that «the lack of a consensus in changes in either mode also affects confidence in projected changes in the overlying atmospheric circulation.»»
As I have also noted in recent public comments, additional mechanisms have been identified by which changes in atmospheric circulation patterns that may be a result of global warming could be affecting droughts in the American West.
Warming temperatures are also changing ocean and atmospheric circulation in the Arctic, making sea ice more mobile, Barber said.
Apparently, El Nino events also cause changes in atmospheric circulation in ways that impact Ocean Heat Content».
This change also shifts global atmospheric circulation patterns, causing rises in surface temperatures outside of the tropical Pacific.
To the helpful set of references you've provided dealing with this broader set of questions, I would in a shamelessly self - promoting manner also offer this publication that deals with the issue of how atmospheric circulation changes associated with anthropogenic climate change might alter growing season length in the Northern Hemisphere:
Winter precipitation is also affected by the changing atmospheric circulation, with localised increases in precipitation associated with more winter storms and a strengthened winter storm track.
Temperature changes are one of the more obvious and easily measured changes in climate, but atmospheric moisture, precipitation and atmospheric circulation also change, as the whole system is affected.
'' [E] xtreme precipitation / flood events over Central Europe are becoming more frequent and are also in agreement with the changes in the large - scale atmospheric circulation over the North Atlantic and Europe.
