Sentences with phrase «average air temperatures near»

Global warming, the phenomenon of increasing average air temperatures near the surface of Earth over...

Global average air temperature near the surface is dominated by the ocean (because it covers two thirds of the planet), particularly at low latitudes.

The truth is that the radiative temperature of the Earth is measured from space IS -18 C. And it is true that the average air temperature near the surface of the earth is 15C.

As far as this historic period is concerned, the reconstruction of past temperatures based on deep boreholes in deep permafrost is one of the best past temperature proxies we have (for the global regions with permafrost — polar regions and mountainous regions)-- as a signal of average temperatures it's even more accurate than historic direct measurements of the air temperature, since the earth's upper crust acts as a near perfect conservator of past temperatures — given that no water circulation takes place, which is precisely the case in permafrost where by definition the water is frozen.

We have estimated that air temperature near the surface, globally averaged, was 3 - 4 degrees C. (5 - 7 degrees F.) cooler than today.

However their predictions are about much more than just the average near - surface air temperature, they are mainly focused on how heat mixes into the ocean and how that affects the rise in surface temperature as CO2 is doubled over 100 years.

However, despite near normal rates of ice loss during the month, June 2015 was a relatively warm month (Figure 7) with 925 hPa air temperatures up to 2.5 C higher than average near the North Pole and East Siberian Sea, with even warmer air temperatures in the Kara Sea (up to 4.5 C).

The annual anomaly of the global average surface temperature in 2014 (i.e. the average of the near - surface air temperature over land and the SST) was +0.27 °C above the 1981 - 2010 average (+0.63 °C above the 20th century average), and was the warmest since 1891.

Pritchard noted that the Antarctic Peninsula's annual average air temperature has risen 5.4 degrees Fahrenheit (3 degrees Celsius) since 1950, while near - surface ocean waters have warmed 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit (1 degree Celsius).

This latitude by height cross section shows that for the Arctic as a whole, air temperatures were above average not just at and near the surface but through a deep layer of the atmosphere.

By contrast, air temperatures over the Antarctic region for the same period were above average in some areas, such as the Antarctic Peninsula and near the pole, but below average in others.

Air temperatures near the Antarctic sea ice edge were near average.

«Refers to the increase in the average temperature of the Earth's near - surface air and oceans in recent decades and it is expected to continue.»

Forecasts of March near - surface air temperatures compared to the 1981 - 2010 average over Europe initialized in mid-January, before the SSW (top left), and after (bottom center).

What the report says about climate change and the Arctic: Over the past 50 years, near - surface air temperatures across Alaska and the Arctic have increased at a rate more than twice as fast as the global average.

The researchers discovered a temperature increase of just 1 degree Celsius in near - surface air temperatures in the tropics leads to an average annual growth rate of atmospheric carbon dioxide equivalent to one - third of the annual global emissions from combustion of fossil fuels and deforestation combined.

3 Global Warming Defined Global Warming Is The Increase In The Average Temperature Of The Earth's Near - surface Air And Oceans Since The Mid-20th Century And Its Projected Continuation.

Global Warming Is The Increase In The Average Temperature Of The Earth's Near - surface Air And Oceans Since The Mid-20th Century And Its Projected Continuation.

There is to mention, that the globally average temperature of the air near the surface (y = T) of about 288 K was calculated using the definition of a global average, too.

The effective average location of outgoing radiation is about 5 km, so the lapse rate times 5 km = -33 C. Note that the higher ground and thus air temperature near the ground then cause the higher radiation levels.

Arctic near - surface air temperature has risen twice as fast as average global warming over the last 2 decades.

I have to say that it would be much wiser to just say we don't have a good number on the OLWR and carry on with our analysis of total global heat change and its relationship to average global near - surface air temperature.

Since the late 1970s, permafrost temperatures across the state — including on the Seward Peninsula — have risen along with increasing air temperatures.3, 5 In fact, 22 of 24 thaw (thermokarst) ponds studied near Nome shrank over the latter half of the last century, with losses in surface area ranging from 6 to 100 percent, and averaging 55 percent.4, 8

At no point does the average temperature of the vapor exceed the average temperature of the water from which it sprang so the air near the surface never gets any warmer either.
