especially as they are silhouetted at dusk against the orange, red and otherwise polychromatic backdrop of the setting sun.
Some metal materials rust, so you must apply a corrosion protection every few years,
especially in climates
near the
ocean where salt and humidity are an issue.
A study described here today at the American Geophysical Union's biennial
Ocean Sciences Meeting shows that RNA's chemical building blocks fall apart within days to years at temperatures
near boiling — a finding that poses problems for some origin of life theories,
especially ones picturing that life arose in scalding settings such as deep - sea hydrothermal vents.
The houses on the walking streets
near the
ocean in Manhattan Beach can make an
especially fun place to stay.
A lot of reseach energy is being devoted to the study of Methane Clathrates — a huge source of greenhouse gases which could be released from the
ocean if the thermocline (the buoyant stable layer of warm water which overlies the
near - freezing deep
ocean) dropped in depth considerably (due to GHG warming), or
especially if the deep
ocean waters were warmed by very, very extreme changes from the current climate, such that deep water temperatures no longer hovered within 4C of freezing, but warmed to something like 18C.
See e.g. the source / sink area's of the
oceans, where most important sources are
near the equator and most important sinks are
near the poles,
especially the NE Atlantic: http://www.pmel.noaa.gov/pubs/outstand/feel2331/maps.shtml
The vertically integrated inventory of human emitted CO2 in the
oceans is (not surprisingly) much greater in areas of cold deep convection,
especially in the northern Atlantic (the falling leg of the thermohaline circulation), and much less in the tropics where the
ocean is strongly stratified; absorption in the tropics really is more in the
near - surface waters.
The
ocean water temperatures continue to run warmer than normal across most of the Atlantic Basin (red and orange in the graphic), and
especially in the Caribbean region and the Atlantic
near the United States.
Conditions have been unusually warm across most of California this spring,
especially near the Pacific
Ocean and in the south.
The study, in addition to being even more terrifying than last summer's draft, may act to motivate increased urgency for scientific research in Greenland and Antarctica,
especially their effects on
ocean circulation — as well as increased attention to the possibility of truly dire
near - term global change.
The
ocean then warms the atmosphere including the atmosphere over the continents
especially nearer to the
ocean (continentality).
Rather, in addition to massive ice sheets covering the continents, parts of the planet (
especially ocean areas
near the Equator) could have been draped only by a thin, watery layer of ice amid areas of open sea.
