Sentences with phrase «decadal shifts»
"Decadal shifts" refers to changes or shifts that occur over a period of ten years. Full definition
The PDO manifests as cool upwelling in the northeast Pacific — the upwelling brings with it cold bottom water and associated nutrients which results in decadal shifts in biological activity (e.g. Mantua, 1997).

Research shows that decadal shifts of subsurface Atlantic Water temperatures, along the North Atlantic Current, are associated with a progression of heat anomalies from the Gulf Stream region that coincide with sea surface temperatures extending to cover most of the subpolar and tropical North Atlantic; a signal similar to that of the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation.
«Recent Hiatus Caused by Decadal Shift in Indo - Pacific Heating.»
In a new research paper by Chafik et al., hydrographic observations are employed to show that decadal shifts of subsurface Atlantic Water temperatures, along the North Atlantic Current, are associated with a progression of heat anomalies from the Gulf Stream region that coincide with sea surface temperatures extending to cover most of the subpolar and tropical North Atlantic — a signal similar to that of the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation.
The decadal shift in Hadley Cell width and its relationship with ENSO / external forcings draws interesting parallels to the recent «hiatus» in global warming.
