Sentences with phrase «also poleward transport»

Note that there is also poleward transport in the shallow currents at the western edge of each subtropical ocean gyre - known as western boundary currents.

Not exact matches

Furthermore, even if the net meridional overturning circulation, which is broader than just the Gulf Stream, slows, that doesn't mean that the poleward heat transport will be reduced, as a warmer wetter atmosphere can also transport a great deal of heat (latent heat) to poleward regions, which seems to be what has been happening.

Also, the overall number of ozone molecules destroyed in a vertical column of air was pretty much the same as the number of molecules transported into this column by the average poleward and downward transport of air in the stratosphere.

An important one is additional poleward energy transport, but contributions from local high - latitude water vapour, cloud and temperature feedbacks have also been found.

Models also show that a change in poleward ocean heat transport can create large changes in the climate.

12: Indigenous Peoples).91, 101 Warming also releases human - caused pollutants, such as poleward - transported mercury and organic pesticides, from thawing permafrost and brings new diseases to Arctic plants and animals, including subsistence food species, posing new health challenges, especially to rural communities.165, 166 Positive health effects of warming include a longer growing season for gardening and agriculture.5, 167

Additionally, the intensified winds of the mid-latitude westerlies, and a poleward shift of the strongest winds toward the Antarctic Circumpolar Current will also lead to stronger convergence of surface currents, and stronger downward heat transport.

Furthermore, even if the net meridional overturning circulation, which is broader than just the Gulf Stream, slows, that doesn't mean that the poleward heat transport will be reduced, as a warmer wetter atmosphere can also transport a great deal of heat (latent heat) to poleward regions, which seems to be what has been happening.

There is also an increasing poleward transport of water vapour from lower latitudes.

Additionally, there will also be changes in the poleward energy transport, which is simulated to increase with rising temperature [15].
