Sentences with phrase «although upper ocean»

What Lyman 2010 shows very clearly is that although upper ocean heat increases are irregular, the trend is very clear:

Not exact matches

The authors note that more than 85 % of the global heat uptake (Q) has gone into the oceans, including increasing the heat content of the deeper oceans, although their model only accounts for the upper 700 meters.

... not intended to suggest that the heat capacity exchange / transfer / transport rates used are a realistic representation of actual ocean circulation, although from what little I know, it could be a step in that general direction from using one upper and one deep ocean reservoir.

One thing I would have liked to see in the paper is a quantitative side - by - side comparison of sea - surface temperatures and upper ocean heat content; all the paper says is that only «a small amount of cooling is observed at the surface, although much less than the cooling at depth» though they do report that it is consistent with 2 - yr cooling SST trend — but again, no actual data analysis of the SST trend is reported.

Although the ocean systems are complex, and time scales are a confounding factor in visualizing effects, I think a simple diagram or animation would show that of course mechanical transfer of warmer water to a lower stratum is going to eventually result in warmer upper layers.

Although substantial interdecadal variability is present in the time series, long - term decreases in upper - level cloud cover occur over land and ocean at low and middle latitudes in both hemispheres.
