Sentences with phrase «good deep ocean temperature»

Well I think the Natural Energy Lab of Hawaii could provide good deep ocean temperature stats and they are a commercial enterprise.

The standard assumption has been that, while heat is transferred rapidly into a relatively thin, well - mixed surface layer of the ocean (averaging about 70 m in depth), the transfer into the deeper waters is so slow that the atmospheric temperature reaches effective equilibrium with the mixed layer in a decade or so.

The long - wave radiation estimated for surface temperatures is pretty clear that forcing is occuring near the equator and since the ocean in this region is acccumulating heat that will eventually re-emerge the deeper it can be sequestered the better.

There is good evidence that the answer to both these question is no: (The insensitivy of the results to methodology of selecting rural stations, the Parker et al windy days study, and the fact that data from satellite skin surface measurements, from sea surface temperatures, deep ocean temps as we as tropospheric temps are all in good agreement).

That is, if the world stabilized at its present temperature I suppose the deep ocean would eventually get warmer, as well as other changes.

I agree that longer term processes as well as in the oceans as in the biosphere have their influence, but these too are limited: once the temperature of the full ocean (including the deep oceans) is increased by a certain temperature, the related increase of CO2 in the atmosphere will hinder a further increase of CO2 from the oceans.

Better characterize the deep ocean to quantify the role of deep temperature and salinity signals that contribute to AMOC variability through enhancements to the observing system that directly measure deep ocean properties (temperature, salinity, and velocity) such as Deep Argo, Deep gliders, and moored instrumentatdeep ocean to quantify the role of deep temperature and salinity signals that contribute to AMOC variability through enhancements to the observing system that directly measure deep ocean properties (temperature, salinity, and velocity) such as Deep Argo, Deep gliders, and moored instrumentatdeep temperature and salinity signals that contribute to AMOC variability through enhancements to the observing system that directly measure deep ocean properties (temperature, salinity, and velocity) such as Deep Argo, Deep gliders, and moored instrumentatdeep ocean properties (temperature, salinity, and velocity) such as Deep Argo, Deep gliders, and moored instrumentatDeep Argo, Deep gliders, and moored instrumentatDeep gliders, and moored instrumentation.

This suggests that the Tambora subsurface temperature and sea level perturbations could last well into the 20th century, interfering with the effects of the devastating Krakatau, Santa Maria, and Katmai eruptions which occurred respectively in 1883, 1902, and 1912, producing a cumulative impact on the deep ocean thermal structure in the 20th century.

Climate change can influence the distribution of dead zones by increasing water temperature and hence microbial activity, as well as reducing mixing of the ocean (i.e., increasing layering or stratification) of the Ocean — which have different temperatures, densities, salinities — and reducing mixing of oxygen - rich surface layers into the deeper parts of the Oocean (i.e., increasing layering or stratification) of the Ocean — which have different temperatures, densities, salinities — and reducing mixing of oxygen - rich surface layers into the deeper parts of the OOcean — which have different temperatures, densities, salinities — and reducing mixing of oxygen - rich surface layers into the deeper parts of the OceanOcean.

On your second point, here, my first reaction on seeing the unbelievably good match to temperature was to leap to the assumption that GISS E was burying heat in the deep ocean — or losing heat to some invisible sink.

«deep ocean temperature change does not provide a good indication of surface temperature change when the deep ocean approaches the freezing point, as quantified by Waelbroeck et al. (2002).

Thus, we take 4.5 °C as our best estimate for LGM cooling, implying an amplification of surface temperature change by a factor of two relative to deep ocean temperature change for this climate interval.

The close match is partly a result of the fact that sea - level and temperature data are derived from the same deep ocean record, but use of other sea - level reconstructions still yields a good fit between the calculated and observed temperature [5].

We use isotope data from Zachos et al. [4], which are improved over data used in our earlier study [5], and we improve our prescription for separating the effects of deep ocean temperature and ice volume in the oxygen isotope record as well as our prescription for relating deep ocean temperature to surface air temperature.

If you have good measurements of upper ocean and atmospheric temperatures, then if you had a good decade - long satellite record of the Earth's total radiative energy balance from space — say, if Triana has been launched to in the late 1990s — then you could use conservation of energy to calculate the rate of heat uptake by the deep ocean over the past ten years.

More succinctly, if deep ocean temperatures can naturally rise by 1 °C in 100 years without any change in CO2, then attributing changes in ocean temperature that are already «below the detection limit» for the last 200 years (or just ~ 0.1 °C since 1955) to anthropogenic CO2 forcing is highly presumptuous at best.
