Sentences with phrase «average circulation patterns»

But maps of sea level pressure can also be averaged over several months or years, to show the average circulation patterns in the atmosphere.

Not exact matches

Although the rising average global surface temperature is an indicator of the degree of disruption that we have imposed on the global climate system, what's actually happening involves changes in circulation patterns, changes in precipitation patterns, and changes in extremes.

For example, reflecting sunlight would likely reduce the Earth's average temperature but could also change global circulation with potentially serious consequences such as changing storm tracks and precipitation patterns throughout the world.

The flow of energy between different circulation patterns is dependent on fram of reference (Eulerian vs transformed Eulerian); The Ferrel Cell is the result of some average upward motion poleward of some average downward motion with return flows at lower and higher altitudes, superimposed on the average temperature distribution.

But certainly models with such a grand name as «General Circulation Model», would include average diurnal atmospheric circulation patterns in tropics, and diurnal and seasonal patterns at latitudes outside the tropics, as well as heat transfer to the deCirculation Model», would include average diurnal atmospheric circulation patterns in tropics, and diurnal and seasonal patterns at latitudes outside the tropics, as well as heat transfer to the decirculation patterns in tropics, and diurnal and seasonal patterns at latitudes outside the tropics, as well as heat transfer to the deeper ocean.

The air responds to a change in it's own resistor efficiency by changing it's own circulation patterns to again meet the requirement that the surface air temperature and the sea surface temperature be the same on average globally.

«You may be getting global cooling of 1 - 2C on average, but that's entirely confined to certain regions and that would really upset weather patterns, ocean circulation and local biology.»

The most likely candidate for that climatic variable force that comes to mind is solar variability (because I can think of no other force that can change or reverse in a different trend often enough, and quick enough to account for the historical climatic record) and the primary and secondary effects associated with this solar variability which I feel are a significant player in glacial / inter-glacial cycles, counter climatic trends when taken into consideration with these factors which are, land / ocean arrangements, mean land elevation, mean magnetic field strength of the earth (magnetic excursions), the mean state of the climate (average global temperature), the initial state of the earth's climate (how close to interglacial - glacial threshold condition it is) the state of random terrestrial (violent volcanic eruption, or a random atmospheric circulation / oceanic pattern that feeds upon itself possibly) / extra terrestrial events (super-nova in vicinity of earth or a random impact) along with Milankovitch Cycles.

USCG Station Sandy Hook is situated within an East Coast hot spot of rising seas, where natural subsidence, low - lying topography, and changing ocean circulation patterns contribute to above - average sea level rise.
