Sentences with phrase «elevated sea temperatures»

Elevated sea temperatures drive impacts such as mass coral bleaching and mortality (very high confidence), with an analysis of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) ensemble projecting the loss of coral reefs from most sites globally by 2050 under mid to high rates of ocean warming (very likely).

There is concern that elevated sea temperatures and ocean acidification may influence the resilience of coral reefs, inherently affecting their vital role of providing the structure which maintains ecosystem services around the world.

In response to elevated sea temperatures, some corals may bleach, while other coral species in the same location may not.

Lau added that sea surface temperatures could reach such elevated levels within the next 50 to 100 years.

The ongoing disappearance of sea ice in the Arctic from elevated temperatures is a factor to changes in atmospheric pressure that control jet streams of air, explained James Overland, an oceanographer of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, or NOAA.

«We report for the first time, a unique behavior where the deep - sea skate, Bathyraja spinosissima, appears to be actively using the elevated temperature of a hydrothermal vent environment to naturally «incubate» developing egg - cases,» the researchers wrote in the journal Scientific Reports on Feb. 8.

From August through October, NOAA satellites detected elevated sea surface temperatures spanning much of the Gulf of Mexico and the western Caribbean basin from Belize to Jamaica, Honduras and Venezuela.

However, to support the assertion that global warming is responsible for a great deal of damage from such events, it is sufficient to show that such events have the «signature» of global warming — for example, that specific global warming - related factors such as abnormally high sea surface temperatures, elevated water vapor levels, and altered jet stream patterns contributed to making Hurricane Sandy what it was — even if those factors can not be precisely quantified.

Particularly «The Sea Surface Temperatures of the East Indian and West Pacific Oceans remain elevated during the La Nina because the stronger trade winds reduce cloud cover.»

Rising seas are not the only threat that comes with elevated global temperatures.

The Sea Surface Temperatures of the East Indian and West Pacific Oceans remain elevated during the La Nina because the stronger trade winds reduce cloud cover.

Sea Surface Temperature anomalies for the Mid-To-High Latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere also rose and remained at an elevated level.

Note we're using BEST land area, so actual rates of warming are slightly elevated from global levels including sea surface temperatures, however BEST has enough resolution to allow us to work with 12.5 years of temperature data and not have such abysmal CI as to need to reject the comparisons outright..

OTOH, the half that were well inland (but not greatly elevated above sea level) showed quite strong temperature rises over the last 40 years.

With such elevated sea surface temperatures it is perhaps unsurprising that fossil evidence in ocean sediments indicates a mass extinction event during the PETM: the seas would have become thermally stratified, cutting off the oxygen supply to deep waters and killing everything reliant upon it.
