Sentences with phrase «become oceans and atmospheres»

Forming in the system's colder outer regions, where volatile compounds such as water and carbon dioxide freeze out, makes it possible that the planets incorporated those ices and carried them along to a warmer place where they could melt, evaporate, and become oceans and atmospheres.

Not exact matches

The simulations also suggest that the removal of excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere by natural processes on land and in the ocean will become less efficient as the planet warms.

In the report, an international team of climate scientists warns policy - makers that levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are at the extreme end of predictions made only in 2007, and that natural CO2 sinks such as oceans are becoming saturated.

Bowen says the two relatively rapid carbon releases (about 1,500 years each) are more consistent with warming oceans or an undersea landslide triggering the melting of frozen methane on the seafloor and large emissions to the atmosphere, where it became carbon dioxide within decades.

Each year the oceans absorb CO2 from the atmosphere and become more acidic, a process called ocean acidification.

The projected impacts of a warming atmosphere and oceans on the Earth's hydrological cycle — dry regions likely becoming drier, while wet ones become more wet — will likely exacerbate this already dire situation.

Oceans eventually became saturated, and oxygen crossed into the atmosphere.

«After many decades of attempting to understand how the ocean impacts the atmosphere and clouds above it, it became clear a new approach was needed to investigate the complex ocean - atmosphere system.

«If this conclusion is confirmed by future observations, it would mean that the coastal ocean will become more and more efficient at removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere,» said Goulven Lurallue, the paper's lead author and a researcher with Université Libre de Bruxelles in Belgium.

Prevailing scientific wisdom asserts that the deceleration of circulation diminishes the ocean's ability to absorb anthropogenic CO2 from the atmosphere as surface waters warm and become saturated with CO2.

When degraded or destroyed, these ecosystems emit the carbon they have stored for centuries into the atmosphere and oceans and become sources of greenhouse gases.

The ocean becomes less effective at absorbing carbon dioxide with a weakened AMOC and this can lead to higher quantities of the greenhouse gas in the atmosphere worsening global warming.

To stay within the budget, global emissions would have to peak by 2020, and then become negative — with more CO2 being taken out of the atmosphere by plants and the oceans than is put into the air each year — by 2090.

Once heated, the ocean surface becomes warmer than the atmosphere above, and because of this heat flows from the warm ocean to the cool atmosphere above.

Funny how difficult it is for him and his fellow denialati to look at 1) where that carbon came from 2) its isotopic composition 3) the fact that it takes a while for permafrost to melt and oceans to become a source rather than a sink 4) the fact that humans are producing about 2x as much carbon as is going into the atmosphere 5) the remaining CO2 is acidifying the oceans

At a climate rally on Saturday in his hometown, Beacon, N.Y., he sang «My Rainbow Race,» a 1967 song that has become something of an anthem for climate campaigners of late because the lyrics speak of the atmosphere (and oceans) as shared resources.

So while warmer oceans and a more fertile atmosphere might accelerate some kinds of plankton bloom, the seas could become too acidic for tropical micro-organisms.

If as I suggest one includes the much denser oceans as a component of atmosphere then increases in CO2 become irredeemably trivial in terms of their power to alter overall density and thus the global heat retaining process.

Parameterisations can be quite sophisticated, but they are often difficult to test, mainly because it is often hard to tell if a parameterisation scheme is doing the right things for the right reasons.On time - scales longer than a few days, interactions between the atmosphere and the oceans become critical.

As atmosphere is warmed by the warmed surface, more water would become a gas and ocean ice would become liquid.

Notably, by studying the clouds over a limited region of the atmosphere over the eastern Pacific Ocean, as well as over nearby land masses, the team at the university's International Pacific Research Centre have declared themselves firmly in the latter camp, warning that, as temperatures continue to creep steadily upwards over the next 100 years, cloud cover will become thinner and more - sparse, thereby serving to exacerbate the problem.

If as I suggest one includes the much denser oceans as a component of atmosphere then increases in CO2 become irredeemably trivial in terms of their power to alter overall density and the speed of energy throughput and thus the global heat retaining process.

The problem is that once the CO2 is in the atmosphere and oceans, it takes a long time to become sequestered.

But all three also point to the same bleak conclusion: human impacts on the atmosphere promise only the choice between a dangerous future, and a catastrophic one, as the planetary thermometer rises, glaciers and icecaps melt, the oceans become more acidic and more likely to flood coastal communities, hurricanes and typhoons become more intense and destructive, heatwaves become more lethal and droughts become more devastating.

If you do the calculation backwards, and insert the (tracer) measured half - life of 8 years, the calculated (net) rate at which the atmosphere dumps CO2 to the oceans becomes ~ 12Gt / yr.

As I have been studying and experimenting in meteorology and paleoclimatology, it has become apparent the electrical forces in the atmosphere and oceans are just as important as the mechanical forces dependent upon pressure, temperature, and volume.

The oceans would then become a realm of bacteria metabolizing sulfates, and producing hydrogen sulfide, which would then get released into the water and the atmosphere, killing oceanic plants and terrestrial life.

The oceans have risen by around 2.5 cm over the last decade, emphasising just how warm the seas and the atmosphere have become already As ice caps glaciers and sea ice show us the trend in rather obvious ways, scientists studying the phenomena have been shocked.

The oceans and atmosphere can become warmer still.

The oceans have warmed and become more acidic as they absorbed human - generated carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

does the 15ppm consider CO2 contributed from deforestation (which as this becomes more extensive against the growing population, the atmosphere breaks well beyond saturation point as trees can not convert CO2 fast enough to combat the production), the burning of peat, the likely disturbances and resulting CO2 emitted from deep sea drilling (i.e. decomposed life forms from the ocean bed reaching the atmosphere) the CO2 deposits from extensive farming, the population of all mammals exhaling CO2, chemical productions with CO2 bi-products and all other man related processes that give off CO2?

And if the current cooling of our planet (both the atmosphere and the upper ocean) continues for another few years despite continued increase of CO2 to new record levels, the premise of alarming AGW will have become a falsified hypothesis, and IPCC can fold And if the current cooling of our planet (both the atmosphere and the upper ocean) continues for another few years despite continued increase of CO2 to new record levels, the premise of alarming AGW will have become a falsified hypothesis, and IPCC can fold and the upper ocean) continues for another few years despite continued increase of CO2 to new record levels, the premise of alarming AGW will have become a falsified hypothesis, and IPCC can fold and IPCC can fold up.

You are probably also aware already that water vapor is as much if not more of a so called greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide is and there is a lot of evaporating ocean water on the planet not to mention clouds and high tropical humidity because hot air provides added space in the atmosphere for water vapor gas to become a major component of air.

The IPCC hypothesis that AGW, caused principally by human CO2 emissions, has been the primary cause of past warming and that it represents a serious potential threat to humanity or our environment is an «uncorroborated hypothesis» at this time, unless one agrees with Pielke that the recent decadal lack of warming of the atmosphere (surface plus troposphere) as well as the upper ocean despite record increase in CO2 levels has falsified it, in which case it has become a «falsified hypothesis», until such time that the falsification can be refuted with empirical evidence.

We know that energy will continue to accumulate and the internal cycles will pass it back and forth in ways that will continue to elude us until the ocean becomes as transparent to us as the atmosphere.

The oceans have also become more acidic, leading to an increase in CO2 levels in both the atmosphere and the oceans.

CO2 emissions have to be curtailed because the changes in global temperature are becoming all too obvious in both atmosphere and ocean.

Ocean acidification poses an added danger to corals and other sea animals that need calcium carbonate to build shells or skeletons.3, 11,12 As concentrations of carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere rise, the oceans absorb carbon dioxide and become more acidic.

In a few locations at high latitudes, surface water becomes dense enough to sink rapidly to the bottom of the ocean, allowing communication between the atmosphere and the abyss.

Callendar suggested that the top layer of the ocean, that interacts with the atmosphere, would easily become saturated with carbon dioxide and that would affect its ability to absorb more, because, he thought, the rate of mixing of shallow and deep oceanic waters was likely to be very slow.

«NOAA's prediction for the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season is for 12 to15 tropical storms, with seven to nine becoming hurricanes, of which three to five could become major hurricanes,» said retired Navy Vice Adm. Conrad C. Lautenbacher, Ph.D., undersecretary of commerce for oceans and atmosphere and NOAA administrator at a news conference today in Bay St. Louis, Miss. «Forecaster confidence that this will be an active hurricane season is very high.»

As the Arctic melts, oceans rise and temperatures warm, bringing more moisture into the atmosphere, it's the intensity of storms that becomes a concern, not only their frequency.

As the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere climbs to 400 parts per million and beyond, and the impacts of climate change become more unmistakable and destructive — rapid melting of Arctic Ocean ice, a rising incidence of extreme weather events — the case for extracting carbon from the atmosphere becomes increasingly compelling.

As reanalysis datasets become more diverse (atmosphere, ocean and land components), more complete (moving towards Earth - system coupled reanalysis), more detailed, and of longer timespan, community efforts to evaluate and intercompare them become more important.
