Sentences with phrase «cover global sea ice extent»

Not exact matches

That was due to increased global moisture content, decreased global average cloud cover and decreased sea ice extent at high latitudes.

The influence of anthropogenic forcing has also been detected in various physical systems over the last 50 years, including increases in global oceanic heat content, increases in sea level, shrinking of alpine glaciers, reductions in Arctic sea ice extent, and reductions in spring snow cover (Hegerl et al., 2007).

The aim of the C - SIDE working group is to reconstruct changes in sea - ice extent in the Southern Ocean for the past 130,000 years, reconstruct how sea - ice cover responded to global cooling as the Earth entered a glacial cycle, and to better understand how sea - ice cover may have influenced nutrient cycling, ocean productivity, air - sea gas exchange, and circulation dynamics.

Whether it's a killer winter in South America, increased snow cover globally, record Arctic sea ice recovery, recovering glaciers in the Alps, record high sea ice extent in Antarctica, extreme cold in southeast Europe, or 5 consecutive colder than normal European winters, just to name a few, the ominous signs of global cooling are compounding rapidly.

Global sea level has risen, and there have been large reductions in snow - cover extent, glaciers, and sea ice.

«Arctic Ice in «Death Spiral» with additional heating due to global warming, the extent of sea ice cover has gotten smaller and smaller over the summers since the 198Ice in «Death Spiral» with additional heating due to global warming, the extent of sea ice cover has gotten smaller and smaller over the summers since the 198ice cover has gotten smaller and smaller over the summers since the 1980s.

For example, additional evidence of a warming trend can be found in the dramatic decrease in the extent of Arctic sea ice at its summer minimum (which occurs in September), decrease in spring snow cover in the Northern Hemisphere, increases in the global average upper ocean (upper 700 m or 2300 feet) heat content (shown relative to the 1955 — 2006 average), and in sea - level rise.

The report tracks patterns, changes, and trends of the global climate system, including: greenhouse gases; temperatures throughout the atmosphere, ocean, and land; cloud cover; sea level; ocean salinity; sea ice extent; and snow cover.

Advance research on the interactions between arctic sea ice and global physical systems such snow cover extent, ocean and atmospheric circulation patterns, and mid-latitude effects.
