Sentences with phrase «decreases at depth»

If this is a transfer of energy from the oceans to the atmosphere, OHC should be decreasing at depth.

In addition, Golub et al. [21] provided evidence to support the notion that mini flash crashes negatively affect market depth, as «volume at the NBBO decreases after the mini Flash Crashes.»

It also caused a decrease in precipitation by approximately 70 - 85 percent on land and a decrease of approximately 5 - 7 °C in seawater temperature at a 50 - m water depth, leading to mass extinction of life forms including dinosaurs and ammonites.

Cloud droplets tend to scatter light very efficiently, so that the intensity of the solar radiation decreases with depth into the cloud, hence the grey or even sometimes dark appearance of the clouds at their base.

Over the course of coming decades, though, trade wind speed is expected to decrease from global warming, Thunell says, and the result will be less phytoplankton production at the surface and less oxygen utilization at depth, causing a concomitant increase in the ocean's oxygen content.

The cell - specific respiration rate decreased with depth but stabilized at around 10 − 3 femtomoles of O2 cell − 1 day − 1 10 meters below the seafloor.

Wave energy is greatest at the water's surface, decreasing rapidly with increasing depth.

The yoke is shaped by decreasing stitches at an even rate from the body only, and, when the correct depth is reached, the stitch count is reduced further for the neck.

The currents can usually be predicted from the tide tables but at certain sites they can increase (sometimes reaching 5 knots), decrease or shift direction with no advance notice, and may also vary dramatically with depth.

Sony has also talked about decreased loading times via boost mode - an aspect of the Pro we've been looking at in - depth recently.

I think some research shows corals expelling their symbiotic algae at higher temperatures, which will make growing more difficult, leading to greater difficulties in keeping the productive population at the proper depth, and they've got decreased ability to build their calcareous skeletons (due to the dissolving CO2) on top of all that.

In a linear approximation (that the blackbody spectral flux as a function of local temperature changes linearly over optical thickness going down from TOA, down to a sufficient optical depth), a doubling of CO2 will bring the depth of the valley halfway towards half of the OLR (the OLR at 15 microns will decrease by 25 % per doubling — remember this is before the temperature responds).

MF says «Now looking at deep water, it is noticed that temperature at great depths appears to be independent of pressure brought about by the effects of gravity on a column of water, and actually decrease as pressure increases, to a limit independent of gravity, depth, pressure, or insolation.

Now looking at deep water, it is noticed that temperature at great depths appears to be independent of pressure brought about by the effects of gravity on a column of water, and actually decrease as pressure increases, to a limit independent of gravity, depth, pressure, or insolation.

The Antarctic ice sheet reached the coastline for the first time at ca. 33.6 Ma and became a driver of Antarctic circulation, which in turn affected global climate, causing increased latitudinal thermal gradients and a «spinning up» of the oceans that resulted in: (1) increased thermohaline circulation and erosional pulses of Northern Component Water and Antarctic Bottom Water; (2) increased deep - basin ventilation, which caused a decrease in oceanic residence time, a decrease in deep - ocean acidity, and a deepening of the calcite compensation depth (CCD); and (3) increased diatom diversity due to intensified upwelling.

The low compressibility of water means that even in the deep oceans at 4 km depth, where pressures are 40 MPa, there is only a 1.8 % decrease in volume.

We assumed only that due to the biological and physical effects the ratio fabsorbed (t) / (total CO2 content of then air) is more or less constant, hence a simple response pulse response exp -LRB-- t / lifetime) is applied to the anthropic time series of coal, gas, oil and cement which have different delta13C As the isotopic signature of (CO2 natural)(t) is slowly decreasing because plants living days or centuries ago are now rotting and degassing and as molecules entered in the ocean decades ago are now in the upwellings after a slow migration along the equal density surface from the high latitudes where those surface are surfacing at depth zero, there are common sense constraints or bounds on the possible evolution of the delta13C of the natural out - gassed CO2 molecules.

The comments above the Peltier's ICE - 5G glacial isostatic rebound model which has sea depth decreasing at 0.3 mms / year takes a slight beating in the paper.

In principle a similar situation could arise at lower latitudes at high elevations in the Rocky Mountains, although most models project a widespread decrease of snow depth there (Kim et al., 2002; Snyder et al., 2003; Leung et al., 2004; see also Box 11.3).

Apologies if this has already been stated, but my view on decreased Arctic ice cover is: - 1, as Judith pointed out, when ice is at a minimum the sun is already so low in the sky that there is no noticeable change to albedo, 2 when there is ice cover warm water is kept at depth by differences in salinity, When there is open water, storms mix the haline layers bringing warm water to the surface where it can more readily radiate it's energy into outer space.

Consider that just moving some of the already warmer surface water to depth (while some upwelling of colder water occurs elsewhere as a compensation) results in an increasing heat content at depths while * simultaneously * producing a decrease in heat content at the surface.
