Sentences with phrase «higher latitudes tend»

There is pretty good evidence in the tropical ocean paleo that the LIA was about a degree cooler in ~ 1700 and since higher latitudes tend to amplify tropical advection, global temperatures could have be more than 1 C cooler.

Polar Biomes: Areas in the higher latitudes tend to be dominated by coniferous forests in the warmer portions that transition to tundra in the cooler areas.

Even that which falls on land at higher latitudes tends to be carried toward the sea on north - flowing rivers, and so into the already somewhat less salty Arctic Ocean.

(57j) For surface + tropospheric warming in general, there is (given a cold enough start) positive surface albedo feedback, that is concentrated at higher latitudes and in some seasons (though the temperature response to reduced summer sea ice cover tends to be realized more in winter when there is more heat that must be released before ice forms).

Now if «global» surface temperature anomaly correlated most strongly with the poles or the northern mid to high latitudes, I might tend to be more in the CO2 as the dominate forcing camp, but such is not the case.

Land temp rises more because it tends to be dry, especially in winter in higher latitudes, and thus lapse rate feedback (which is negative) doesn't play as large a role in reducing CO2 sensitivity.

Ocean - surface temperatures tend to increase in high latitudes.

My guess is that, in mid and high latitudes, windy days indeed tend to be cloudier than calm days.

Nighttime winds in temperate and tropical latitudes tend to «decouple» at night, meaning that near - surface winds lose much of their connection with higher - altitude winds.

In general, the error tends to be higher for higher prediction steps, higher latitudes, and higher ionospheric activity levels.

«Previous models tended to dramatically underestimate the amount of soil carbon at high latitudes because they lacked the processes of how carbon builds up in soil.

The increased equatorward wind at middle latitudes tends to push the ionosphere higher up along magnetic field lines, where the loss rate is lower.

Transitions seasons (autumn and spring) in tend to be highly volatile throughout the Earth's middle latitudes as cold, dry polar and warm, moist tropical airmasses interact with high frequency.

Modeled regional and global climate responses to simulated (107, 110, 111) and reconstructed historical land cover changes over the past century (112) and millennium (113) generally agree that anthropogenic deforestation drives biogeophysical cooling at higher latitudes and warming in low latitudes and suggest that biogeochemical impacts tend to exceed biogeophysical effects (113).

The enhanced polar vortex restricts the annular or seasonal expansion or contraction of the high latitude stormtracks it tends to retain the ST in the higher latitudes in the SH in winter where there is interference in the competing periodicites and systems eg Trebneth 1986 2010.
