Sentences with phrase «collecting ocean temperature data»

Not exact matches

It comes down to what every scientist knows too well — analyzing data collected by different methods, and at different times, is a tricky business because some methods of collecting ocean surface temperatures are more accurate than others.

And some California surfers are becoming citizen scientists, thanks to «smartfins,» surfboard - mounted sensors that collect coastal ocean temperature data.

The scientists, led by Eric Oliver of Dalhousie University in Canada, investigated long - term heat wave trends using a combination of satellite data collected since the 1980s and direct ocean temperature measurements collected throughout the 21st century to construct a nearly 100 - year record of marine heat wave frequency and duration around the world.

Analyzing data collected over a 20 - month period, scientists from NASA's Goddard Space Flight center in Greenbelt, Md., and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology found that the number of cirrus clouds above the Pacific Ocean declines with warmer sea surface temperatures.

The project, called Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean (ECCO), uses observational data — including ocean surface topography, surface wind stress, temperature, salinity profiles and velocity data — collected between June 2005 and December Ocean (ECCO), uses observational data — including ocean surface topography, surface wind stress, temperature, salinity profiles and velocity data — collected between June 2005 and December ocean surface topography, surface wind stress, temperature, salinity profiles and velocity data — collected between June 2005 and December 2007.

As the LRAUVs move through the ocean, they collect information about water temperature, chemistry, and chlorophyll (an indicator of microscopic algae) and send this data to scientists on shore or on a nearby ship.

The reason could be linked to rising sea surface temperatures — fueled in part by global warming — as seen in ocean buoy data collected along the U.S. coast.

Verify using data collected only over the 1/3 of the planet that is covered with land strikes me as odd, particularly because we expect the land temperatures to rise faster than ocean temperatures.

Earlier this year he spoke at the prestigious TED conference in Long Beach, Calif., and stated what may seem a non-threatening fact: data collected from 3,000 Argo floats that record temperatures around the world's oceans at different depths showed that the earth's energy imbalance is precisely «six - tenths of a watt per square metre.»

Similarly, the buoy anchors lines could be equipped with instrumentation to collect data on ocean currents, temperature or chlorophyll concentrations at different depths.

Superficial questions like «Q: Did you collect and measure the ocean and land temperature data from all 73 sites?»

The dust − temperature relationships for the Southern Ocean and Chinese Loess are shown in Fig. 3 B and C. To further minimize possible issues connected with time scales, data uncertainty, and uneven data distribution across temperature ranges, we collect the dust deposition − temperature data points for each data set combination in Fig. 3 into four bins (see Materials and Methods).

We will also continue our contribution to the international Argo floats program which provides thousands of datapoints for temperature and salinity of our oceans; and we'll be investing more in autonomous vehicles, using innovation to collect more data than ever before.

Starting with Terra in 1999, NASA has launched a fleet of Earth - observing satellites that collect data on everything from temperature and precipitation to underground aquifers and ocean currents and soil moisture to wildfires and storms.

During its over three year journey the HMS Challenger not only collected thousands of new species and sounded unknown ocean depths, but also took hundreds of temperature readings — data which is now proving invaluable to our understanding of climate change.
