Sentences with phrase «between seasonal sea»
A recent study by NSIDC scientists Mark Serreze, Julienne Stroeve, and Alexander Crawford, along with University of Washington scientist Rebecca Woodgate, demonstrates strong links between seasonal sea ice retreat and advance in the Chukchi Sea and the inflow of ocean heat into the region through the Bering Strait.

The result is water that is between five and 10 degrees C warmer than the surrounding Baltic Sea, but that otherwise experiences natural daily and seasonal fluctuations.
We were particularly interested in the nature of this relationship because of the hypothesized seasonal movement of krill to inshore waters around the Antarctic Peninsula in winter, rapid changes in the climate and sea ice patterns of the Antarctic peninsula [15], [16] and the known relationships between baleen whales and krill.
Judah Cohen, a climate forecaster at Atmospheric and Environmental Research in Massachusetts, who issues seasonal snowfall forecasts several months in advance for his company's clients, said the relationship between sea ice loss and the Arctic Oscillation is a key area for future research to focus on.
Over seasonal timescales, there is good agreement between total sea level rise and its components.
The Bacalar Chico Project is geared toward sustainable use and development of this unique area of North Ambergris Caye due to a variety of exceptional factors: at Rocky Point the reef touches the shore; the green sea turtle and the loggerhead nesting site between Robles and Rocky Point; the offshore marine habitat once known as a breeding area for Queen conch; and the seasonal spawning bank for the nassau and yellowfin groupers; the high diversity of terrestrial and vegatation zones.
Just steps to the ocean to snorkel with the abundant green sea turtles, swim in the heated pool, cook on the oceanfront gas BBQs, watch seasonal whales from your shaded lanai (patio) and enjoy beautiful sunsets between Lanai & Molokai.
If one looks at the ocean / water temperatures http://weather.unisys.com/surface/sst.html there are enormous differences between the tropics, temperate and north, and enormous seasonal variations during the year which will affect CO2 absorption and emission, and there is a lot of biological activity in seas and waters that also are involved.
During times of low sea level the continents are emergent, land faunas flourish, migration routes between continents open up, the climate becomes more seasonal, and probably most importantly, the global climate tends to cool off.
This is likely because we maximized the covariance between the sea ice field and the atmospheric circulation by restricting our time averaging to the seasonal mean and restricting our spatial domain to 0 ° — 180 ° W and 30 ° — 75 ° S. Inevitably, indices calculated from local data will explain more local variance than those based on remote data.
Judah Cohen, a climate forecaster at Atmospheric and Environmental Research in Massachusetts, who issues seasonal snowfall forecasts several months in advance for his company's clients, said the relationship between sea ice loss and the Arctic Oscillation is a key area for future research to focus on.
Our own model would say between 2040 and 2060, and it is fair to say that our view is that the earlier dates - in other words, the more pessimistic outlook for the Arctic - are associated with models that we believe are more credible, in terms of their capability to reproduce the observed seasonal cycle in sea ice extent, and also the variations in sea ice from year to year.
Interestingly, in the Seasonally Ice - free Zone (SIZ, the band located between the winter and summer sea ice edge), this production is highly stimulated by increased iron availability due to the seasonal sea ice retreat.
A few connections between a warmer world and Hurricane Sandy can certainly be made, however: rising sea levels are likely to worsen storm surges; warmer waters bring more rain to increase flooding; and hotter temperatures may allow the hurricane to push both seasonal and geographic boundaries.
