Sentences with phrase «forcing ocean temps»

Not exact matches

The big difference between the last intergalcial period and now is that now the air / ocean temp is rising year round forced inextricably by the relentless pressure of CO2.
What does this tell us about the underlying forcing causing the warmer temps duirng periods in which the atmosphere is in general getting less energy from the ocean?
The study does not show a rise in ocean temp so much as it attempts to model the variation of ocean temperature in order to pick out the forcings.
Now if Galactic radiation, solar output, and Cloud formations due to changes in those «flows» can be determined to force change in Ocean Surface temps the drive train for our climate may be found...
A different understanding doesn't stop melting in the arctic, droughts, shifting climate zones, increased ocean temps and sea level rise or the need to anticipate changes these realities will FORCE on society, changes that can't be made quickly.
CO2 does not warm the oceans independent of the indirect downward longwave radiation mechanism (increased skin temp forces a «deepening» of the convective temp gradient) and the direct method of surface layer mixing.
I thought the idea was that an increase in the atmospheric radiative forcing from above would warm the skin layer a bit, reducing the temp gradient to the water layer below, thus impeding the transport of absorbed solar energy up and back out of the ocean, and thus making it pile up to increase OHC.
A MUCH MORE complete exposition of the observation issues (land temp, ocean teamp, OHC, etc and complete open documentation for forcing datasets
