Sentences with phrase «high latitudes decreases»

In that case (along with greater precipitation, and the precipitation belt moving to higher latitudes), there could be more snow in the winter & greater melting in the summer (in higher latitudes), while I'd think the lower latitudes (with less precip) and the local mean temp being higher, would melt the glaciers faster, without adequate snowfall & low winter temps to slow this glacial decrease.

... Increases in temperatures of the higher latitudes would also decrease density because warmer water is less dense.

Global average surface temperatures are not expected to change significantly although temperatures at higher latitudes may be expected to decrease to a modest extent because of a reduction in the efficiency of meridional heat transport (offsetting the additional warming anticipated for this environment caused by the build - up of greenhouse gases).

That was due to increased global moisture content, decreased global average cloud cover and decreased sea ice extent at high latitudes.

In the tropics, simple thermodynamics (as covered in many undergraduate meteorology courses) dictates that it should actually warm faster, up to about 1.8 times faster by the time you get to 12 km or so; at higher latitudes this ratio is affected by other factors and decreases, but does not fall very far below 1.

See e.g. slide 31 of http://www.soest.hawaii.edu/GG/FACULTY/POPP/Lecture12.ppt E.g. a decreased insolation at high northern latitudes would cause ice sheets to grow.

Broadly, water resources are projected to decrease in many mid-latitude and dry subtropical regions, and to increase at high latitudes and in many humid mid-latitude regions (high agreement, robust evidence).

By mid-century, annual average river runoff and water availability are projected to increase by 10 - 40 % at high latitudes and in some wet tropical areas, and decrease by 10 - 30 % over some dry regions at mid-latitudes and in the dry tropics, some of which are presently water - stressed areas.

Existing projections suggest an increase in primary production at high latitudes such as the Arctic and the Southern Ocean (because the amount of sunlight available for photosynthesis of phytoplankton goes up as the amount of water covered by ice decreases).

The effects of declining sea ice on marine mammals are likely to be reflected in the shifting of marine mammal populations (or smaller units) to higher latitudes by either direct movement and / or indirect shifts associated with increased mortality and decreased reproduction at lower latitudes, coincident with decreased mortality and increased reproduction at higher latitudes (Tynan and DeMaster 1997).

This decreases the export of excess salt to the Pacific; it also makes the high latitudes colder and the tropics warmer.

Globally, we predict decreases in climatic suitability at lower altitudes and high latitudes, which may shift production among the major regions that produce Arabica coffee.

We assumed only that due to the biological and physical effects the ratio fabsorbed (t) / (total CO2 content of then air) is more or less constant, hence a simple response pulse response exp -LRB-- t / lifetime) is applied to the anthropic time series of coal, gas, oil and cement which have different delta13C As the isotopic signature of (CO2 natural)(t) is slowly decreasing because plants living days or centuries ago are now rotting and degassing and as molecules entered in the ocean decades ago are now in the upwellings after a slow migration along the equal density surface from the high latitudes where those surface are surfacing at depth zero, there are common sense constraints or bounds on the possible evolution of the delta13C of the natural out - gassed CO2 molecules.

By contrast, the four Canadian stations, all at high latitudes, had significant decreases in tropospheric O3 for the same time period.

GMT drops initially at glacial inception in response to decreased summer radiation at high northern latitudes that would have led to equatorward extension of sea ice and snow cover with associated cooling from increased albedo.

The decrease in surface carbonate ion concentrations is found to be largest at low and mid-latitudes, although undersaturation is projected to occur at high southern latitudes first (Figure 10.24).

In principle a similar situation could arise at lower latitudes at high elevations in the Rocky Mountains, although most models project a widespread decrease of snow depth there (Kim et al., 2002; Snyder et al., 2003; Leung et al., 2004; see also Box 11.3).

The basic physics of greenhouse gases are simply not one of those things that are not well - enough understood and if you don't understand how greenhouse gases work you can't possibly move on to any reasonable debate about other phenomena which can and do (IMO) largely negate the effects of increasing greenhouse gases and leave us in a situation where the modest increase in carbon dioxide has vast beneficial effect by warming the planet at high latitudes where warming is welcome, not warming it at low latitudes where it is already warm enough, increasing the growth rate of green plants, and decreasing the water needs of green plants at the same time.
