Sentences with phrase «between ocean and atmosphere»

Nevertheless, surface temperatures show much internal variability due to heat exchange between the ocean and atmosphere.

Today we know that the cause is the interaction between ocean and atmosphere.

Understanding the exchange of carbon between the ocean and atmosphere is vital to understanding global climate and its past, present and future variability.

But she said heat is constantly shifting between oceans and the atmosphere.

However, it is also very noisy because a small amount of energy exchange between ocean and atmosphere make a big difference to surface temperature.

The findings will help scientists to understand the processes controlling the exchange of CO2 and oxygen between the ocean and atmosphere.

There seem to be two mechanisms in the latter — energy transferred between oceans and atmosphere dominated by closed or open cell cloud frequency over cool or warm surfaces respectively.

Today we know that the cause is the interaction between ocean and atmosphere.

And at the same time there are energy exchanges between the oceans and the atmosphere.

Complex interactions among different parts of the climate system are a fundamental part of climate change — for example, reduction in sea ice increases the absorption of heat by the ocean and the heat flow between the ocean and the atmosphere, which can also affect cloudiness and precipitation.

A German - Russian research team has investigated the role of heat exchange between ocean and atmosphere in long - term climate variability in the Atlantic.

Much of the warming, he says, stems from fluctuations in temperature that have occurred for millions of years — explained by complicated natural changes in equilibrium between the oceans and the atmosphere — and the latest period of warming will not result in catastrophe.

It is also an important regulator in the exchange of energy and moisture between the ocean and the atmosphere.»

Climate scientists sometimes refer to the effects of chaos as intrinsic or unforced variability: the unpredictable changes that arise from the dynamic interactions between the oceans and atmosphere rather than being a result of «forcings» such as changes in solar irradiance or greenhouse gases.

These changes might influence interactions between the ocean and the atmosphere such as the air - sea gas exchange and the emission of sea - spray aerosols that can scatter solar radiation or contribute to the formation of clouds.

The nature of the average temperature and the thermodynamics of the reactions means that there is, on the average, no net exchange of carbon dioxide between the oceans and the atmosphere i.e. the notion that somehow carbon dioxide is belched into the atmosphere by the oceans ignores the basic fact that whatever carbon dioxide is released in one part is compensated by an equal quantity dissolved in another.

The significance of these restraints should be considered by the deniers when they assert that the amount of carbon dioxide dissolved in the oceans is so large that exchanges between the ocean and the atmosphere dwarf human production.

Grantham should be putting his money into projects such as ARGO, studying ocean temperature and heat interchange between the oceans and the atmosphere, and the CLOUD experiment at CERN, studying cloud formation and cosmic ray action.

The coupling between ocean and atmosphere isn't following the usual script, and the typical shifts in rain patterns haven't emerged.

The tropical Pacific Ocean is in a perpetual slow dance between the ocean and atmosphere.

Further, if in the past we had roughly 90 GtC moving in both directions between ocean and atmosphere, it would be absurd to claim that this value was somehow fixed and that changes on the order of a few percent in either direction would totally change things.

There is a potential for both positive and negative feedbacks between the ocean and atmosphere, including changes in both the physics (e.g., circulation, stratification) and biology (e.g., export production, calcification) of the ocean.

Now a new study by Durack et al. (2012) has been published in Science that presents the relationship between the oceans and the atmosphere.

All right, so I'm misunderstanding either what is being said or how heat exhange between the ocean and atmosphere works, probably both.

Also, seeing as the oceans contain 50 times the co2 of atmosphere, and the huge exchange that occurs between ocean and atmosphere, I would think such an increase would be trivial and difficult to document.

In a few other AOGCMs, however, coupled interactions between the ocean and the atmosphere appear to be more important.

It is important to mention that these processes are not uniform over the global ocean and thus the disequilibrium is not only between ocean and atmosphere, but there are also differences in radiocarbon levels within the ocean.

This relationship is expected to change over time as the ocean warms, as the transfer of heat between ocean and atmosphere depends in part on the relative difference between them.

So what is the difference between the ocean and atmosphere of Venus from a «pure» density / pressure, IR absorption point of view?
