Sentences with phrase «high ice flux»

If I may add one more speculative question: are the portions of glacial sheets formed during periods of high ice flux less stable, and more prone to calving, than those formed during slow flux?

Not exact matches

However, ice is a poor conductor so, unless ice is very thin or the geothermal heat flux very high, tends not to influence melt at the ice surface.

Thus, for every 1 % increase in local sea level, there is a ~ 5 % increase in ice flux through the grounding line (though this may be higher if the bed is slippery near the grounding line, see Tsai et al. 2015).

«In addition, we are currently developing a method that also allows for high - precision hydrogen isotopic measurements on methane in ice cores, which will further improve our emission flux constraints,» revealed Fischer.

Numerous recent studies based on both observations and model simulations indicate that reduced Barents - Kara sea ice in late fall favors a strengthened and northwestward expansion of the Siberian high, increased poleward heat flux, weakened polar vortex, and ultimately a negative AO.

Therefore the sea ice products and High Latitude SST and Flux products were unavailable through FTP.

The Younger Dryas appears to have been triggered by high latitude meltwater flux from the NH ice sheet interrupting deep water formation and halting the AMOC.

Even simply measuring net flux of energy into the Arctic via ocean currents from record high OHC would call into serious question the possibility that the long term decline in Arctic sea ice would reverse or «revert to the mean».

Ice significantly reduces the heat flux between ocean and atmosphere; through its high albedo it has a strong influence on the radiation budget of the entire Arctic.

See lower figure 5.7 total heat flux is essentially zero higher than 80 north and very little down to 70 north outside winter sea ice extent.

«As a result, the loss of glacier mass worldwide, along with the corresponding release of carbon, will affect high latitude marine ecosystems, particularly those surrounding the major ice sheets that now receive fairly limited land - to - ocean fluxes of carbon.»

This report discusses our current understanding of the mechanisms that link declines in Arctic sea ice cover, loss of high - latitude snow cover, changes in Arctic - region energy fluxes, atmospheric circulation patterns, and the occurrence of extreme weather events; possible implications of more severe loss of summer Arctic sea ice upon weather patterns at lower latitudes; major gaps in our understanding, and observational and / or modeling efforts that are needed to fill those gaps; and current opportunities and limitations for using Arctic sea ice predictions to assess the risk of temperature / precipitation anomalies and extreme weather events over northern continents.

High - latitude ocean and sea ice surface fluxes: challenges for climate research.

Caused by ice formation resulting from a change in heat transport triggered by meltwater flux at high NH latitude initiated by orbital forcing; --RRB-

The US CLIVAR High Latitude Surface Flux Working Group was formed in January 2008, with the particular goal of addressing some of the challenges associated with air - sea and air - ice - ocean exchanges in Arctic, Antarctic, and Southern Ocean regions.
