Sentences with phrase «heat than land»

How 2015 will shape up is, of course, uncertain, but that ocean heat will play a role, as water responds much more slowly to changes in heat than land.

Not exact matches

Water heats more slowly than land, creating pressure differences that drive high - speed winds; fast - burning fires spawn flame - breathing vortices; the pressure waves of a plane on takeoff transform water into ice.

Longer timescales bring changes in vegetation that also affect heat absorption, and the possibility that land and oceans begin to release CO2 rather than absorb it.

Water changes temperature more slowly than the air or land, which means the global ocean heat is likely to persist for some time.

That heat tends to warm the far North Atlantic and thus keeps the land downwind of it — Western Europe — warmer than it would otherwise be.

Heating of 1 degree Celsius would have a smaller impact on metabolism for a cold - blooded, land - dwelling species that lives in the Arctic than on one that lives in the tropics, his study shows.

What scientists discovered in 2014 is that since the turn of the century, oceans have been absorbing more of global warming's heat and energy than would normally be expected, helping to slow rates of warming on land.

They combined this information with the land surface temperatures measured by satellite and found that more than half a million people — about 10 percent of the population — inhabit neighborhoods that are most vulnerable to heat event health impacts.

The observed fact that temperatures increases slower over the oceans than over land demonstrates that the large heat capacity of the ocean tries to hold back the warming of the air over the ocean and produces a delay at the surface but nevertheless the atmosphere responds quit rapidly to increasing greenhouse gases.

It has been known since far before industrial times that land heats faster than the oceans.

The ocean has a much higher heat capacity than land and thus anomalies tend to vary less over monthly timescales.

One of the most plausible reasons for the recent slowdown in warming is that the deep ocean has been acting as a heat sink, taking up more warming than the land has in recent years.

La La Land: Damien Chazelle's love letter to Hollywood came into TIFF with more heat than any other film: It infatuated audiences at the Venice Film Festival, where Emma Stone won a best actress award, and continued to wrap North American critics around its lithe little finger in Toronto.

A positive reception at Cannes could certainly raise the heat and start a battle for the movie (landing a more lucrative deal than selling it beforehand).

Transitioning undersea dirty sediment to oil, smearing the residue over a good propotion of our beautiful land to coat roads (what converts sunlight into heat better than black?

It seems clear to me that the ocean surface warming is being suppressed by its large heat capacity, while the land has very little heat capacity and is not being suppressed (rather than amplified).

Re # 173 (Dan Allan): Large - scale reasons for the chaos include planetary tilt (= seasons), a high rate of rotation (= major Coriolis effect), much more solar heat applied at the equator than at the poles, unevenly distributed land, air and water, a molten core resulting in tectonic activity including continental drift and volcanos, the occasional hammer from space, a really large satellite creating major tides in addition to minor ones from the sun, plus some stuff I'm probably forgetting.

The need is dire: Dependence on wood for cooking and heating has reduced the amount of forest cover from a healthy 25 percent at the beginning of the 1900s to less than 8 percent today, causing flooding, erosion, and landslides that have destroyed homes and arable land.

@ 48 If your speculation is correct, I assume that another consequence would be that, if / when concentrations of greenhouse gases start to drop, corresponding reductions in surface ocean / land temperatures would take place at a much slower rate than would otherwise be the case: the surplus heat stored in the deep ocean will gradually make its way to the ocean surface, and continue to warm the atmosphere for decades, if not longer.

If we had better sea level rise data for the whole period, we might see that the heat storage curve into the ocean had a shape that better matched the simple function approximation than the land surface data does, or we might have better information on internal climate modes that confused or delayed the temperature response.

Re 157 Mark, your land - ocean heat capacity argument appears to suggest that the SH would be warmer than the NH, because of more efficient energy capture by the oceans.

Overall, we expect land temperatures to rise substantially faster than ocean temperatures because of the lower heat capacity on land.

It is possible for the sea to warm faster than the land since heat comes into the Arctic from the Atlantic.

14 The Oceans and Climate Ocean water has a higher specific heat capacity than land.

If the air was much colder than the water, as it would be if it had just blown over from the land, then: a) If the rate of heat loss from the air was smaller than the rate of heat gain from the water, the air would warm.

In addition the warming oceans — which hold heat for longer than land masses — generate pathways for warm air invasions of the Arctic during Winter time.

The high specific heat capacity of ocean water causes coastal land to have a milder climate than inland areas.

Last but not least, ocean temperatures / heat content need far longer than land to get a new equilibrium when there is more insolation...

Since salt water has a higher specific heat capacity than land, ocean temperatures increase and decrease more slowly than land temperatures.

So rather than the heat the CO2 captures going back down to heat the land and seas, it slows the cooling of land and seas into the atmosphere.

One consequence of the ocean's ability to absorb more heat is that when an area of ocean becomes warmer or cooler than usual, it takes much longer for that area to revert to «normal» than it would for a land area.

• nuclear power will be substantially cheaper than fossil fuel electricity generation • cheap electricity substitutes for some gas for heating and oil for land transport (as in electric vehicles and low - cost electricity producing energy carriers).

Barren land absorbs more heat than grasslands do.

Oceans hold more heat than the atmosphere and land.

It is interesting to note that up to 65 million years ago, land life was dominated by ectotherms and endotherms, ie, creatures much less vulnerable to heat stress than is the case for humans.

That is the reason that ocean heat content or SST is a better metric than «global» or land temperatures.

Water takes longer to heat up and cool down than does the air or land, so ocean warming is considered to be a better indicator of global warming than measurements of global atmospheric temperatures at the Earth's surface.

Because, if nuclear is cheaper than coal, it will displace gas for heating and some oil for land transport.

Dry land has a far lower heat capacity than our oceans.

Plant cover is more than just a sequestering source for carbon, it also raises the heat capacity of land.

The land doesn't absorb the excess heat that the ocean does, so that the overall anomaly of 0.8 C is obviously greater than the SST of 0.6 C.

I would have thought that was a more reasonable view than a large coincidental natural fluctuation that somehow also more rapidly warmed the land, removed Arctic sea ice and raised ocean heat content while giving us the warmest decade on record.

The temperature difference of the land and upper 100 m of the ocean, between summer afternoons and winter nights is more than an order of magnitude than any proclaimed, creeping, heating process.

This may be me advertising my ignorance but if the OHC is of interest as against the SST why do we use a parameter of «global temperature» which is an amalgam of SST and air temperature over land rather than a total heat content or a temperature normalised say for mass or thermal density (normalise to the properties of water say)?

Also, people will probably be more likely to want to live in the yellow areas (from fig 4) than the blue areas, so again, maybe this signal is just an indirect measurement of land - use and urban heat island.

al. correctly predict that the land surface will warm more than the ocean surface, and that the southern ocean warming would be temporarily suppressed due to the slower ocean heat uptake.
