Sentences with phrase «caused upper layers»

Researchers looking to solve this mystery found that ocean heat content had remained high, so a sudden chill in ocean waters (which would have caused upper layers of the seas to shrink in volume) wasn't the answer.

That will decrease the temperature diffrerential between the top and intermediate ocean layers, which will decrease the rate of heat transfer from the upper to the intermediate layers, causing the upper layer to continue to warm.

Not exact matches

The structure of the grains in the upper layer (termed the «fairy castle structure» because of the way grains stick together) scatters sun's rays, causing a dimmer and darker appearance.

The weight of the upper layers of the ice sheet causes the deep ice to spread, causing the annual ice layers to become thinner and thinner with depth.

The increased wind speeds seem to be a result of cooling in the upper atmosphere, caused by the hole in the ozone layer above the pole, which is of course the result of chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) pollution.

As the core contracts, it heats up and this heats the upper layers causing them to expand.

Such products cause shrinking in the upper layers of skin thus restricting oil flow from the pores causing oil blockages.

Jock Itch or Herpes: Causes and Symptoms A fungus named Candida Albican that mostly appear on the upper layer of skin is the main cause of jock itch fungus.

I do recommend doing your first coat especially thin and not to worry about getting too much glitter on in the first coat or two — that could cause the glitter to clump up and need a lot of manipulation if the upper layers of glitter are catching on the glitter that has already dried a bit.

A marine layer will disperse and break up in the presence of instability, such as may be caused by the passage of a frontal system or trough, or any upper air turbulence that reaches the surface.

In the upper stratosphere (beyond the protection of the ozone layer), ultraviolet light caused CFCs to break apart, releasing chlorine, a very reactive atom that repeatedly catalyzes ozone destruction.

The change of emission rate in 2000 from 1.5 % yr - 1 to 3.1 % yr - 1 (figure 1), other things being equal, would have caused a sharp increase of the airborne fraction (the simple reason being that a rapid source increase provides less time for carbon to be moved downward out of the ocean's upper layers).

Thus, long - term variations of TSI (with account for their direct and secondary, based on feedback effects, influence) are the main fundamental cause of climate changes since variations of the Earth climate is mainly determined by a long - term imbalance between the energy of solar radiation entering the upper layers of the Earth's atmosphere and the total energy emitted from the Earth back to space.»

Some skeptics argue that for upper layer warming to cause deep layer warming, intermediate layer warming must occur first.

So what Curry and Gavin and me all said right away was that once the more concentrated heat (higher temperature) in the upper 10 % of the ocean diffuses down into the bulk of the ocean (causing a much smaller temperature rise) there is no way it can ever become concentrated in the surface layer again.

Note that adding 0.06323 prcm water vapour to the upper layer, a 90 % increase of that layer, causes only a 0.0029 increase in OD, but adding the same water volume to the surface layer, a 4.35 % increase, causes a 0.0285 increase in OD.
