Sentences with phrase «drive regional warming»

Which data sets (raw or homogenized trends) best agrees with the hypothesis that ocean temperatures drive regional warming trends?

Not exact matches

However, Petrenko found that the gradual, natural global warming and rapid regional warming that characterized the deglaciation 12,000 years ago — events that were in some aspects comparable to the current human - driven global warming — did not trigger detectable releases of methane from these reservoirs.

Ultimately, there is limited value in debating whether human - driven warming has caused the uncloaking of any particular Arctic island, the retreat of a snowfield atop any single mountain — even one as charismatic as Kilimanjaro — or the breakup of a particular ice shelf in Antarctica, or any other regional anomaly.

This would actually not be true at sufficiently high latitudes in the winter hemisphere, except that some circulation in the upper atmosphere is driven by kinetic energy generated within the troposphere (small amount of energy involved) which, so far as I know, doesn't result in much of a global time average non-radiative energy flux above the tropopause, but it does have important regional effects, and the result is that the top of the stratosphere is warmer than the tropopause at all latitudes in all seasons so far as I know.

... «When you hear a phrase like he said, «the highest ever,» you know, «off the charts,» «record setting,» that's a good sign that on top of a whatever local weather patterns there are or regional like El Nino, global warming, fossil fuel driven climate change is putting its finger on the scale and juicing the atmosphere and causing the even bigger weather event than you would have otherwise seen.»

The warm early - Holocene climate around Svalbard was driven primarily by higher insolation and greater influx of warm Atlantic Water, but feedback processes further influenced the regional climate.»

Yet most research in the field has focused on improving predictions of regional ocean warming driven by long - term climate change and short - term climate patterns like the El Niño - Southern Oscillation cycle.

Modeled regional and global climate responses to simulated (107, 110, 111) and reconstructed historical land cover changes over the past century (112) and millennium (113) generally agree that anthropogenic deforestation drives biogeophysical cooling at higher latitudes and warming in low latitudes and suggest that biogeochemical impacts tend to exceed biogeophysical effects (113).

Using seasonal forecast SSTs instead of observations to drive the regional climate model allows scientists to disentangle the influence of low - frequency climate modes like El Nino from human - induced warming.
