Strengthened easterly trade winds
increase equatorial current circulation in the Pacific.
Not exact matches
First - order models predicted that solar wind compression regions would induce an
increase in the angular velocity of the
equatorial plasma and decrease the
currents related to the lag from corotation, thus resulting in a dimmer aurora (e.g. Southwood & Kivelson 2001).
An unprecedented strengthening of Pacific trade winds since the late 1990s has caused widespread climate perturbations, including rapid sea - level rise in the western tropical Pacific, strengthening of Indo - Pacific ocean
currents, and an
increased uptake of heat in the
equatorial Pacific thermocline.
The rise of CO2 from 270ppm to now over 400ppm, the extent of
equatorial and sub tropical deforestation, the soot deposits on the polar ice caps, the
increase in atmospheric water vapour due to a corresponding
increase in ocean temps and changes in ocean
currents, the extreme ice albedo currently happening in the arctic etc, etc are all conspiring in tandem to alter the climate as we know it.
'' This offers supporting evidence that the earth's spin rate is currently
increasing, in agreement with Laws of Conservation of Angular Momentum due to a reduction in the earth's spin axis Moment of Inertia, that in turn suggests there is a mechanism in the
current part of the Donn and Ewing climate cycle that is transferring
equatorial ocean water to ice in polar regions.....
However, I am not a «warmista» by any means — we do not know how to properly quantify the albedo of aerosols, including clouds, with their consequent negative feedback effects in any of the climate sensitivity models as yet — and all models in the ensemble used by the «warmistas» are indicating the sensitivities (to atmospheric CO2
increase) are too high, by factors ranging from 2 to 4: which could indicate that climate sensitivity to a doubling of
current CO2 concentrations will be of the order of 1 degree C or less outside the
equatorial regions (none or very little in the
equatorial regions)- i.e. an outcome which will likely be beneficial to all of us.
Any temperature rise that would occur due the slowing of the Northern and Southern Pacific
equatorial currents («gets heated day after day by the
equatorial Sun») would be countered by the
increase in cloud amount, which would reduce downward shortwave radiation.
That is, trade winds
increase during a La Nina, decreasing cloud cover over the tropical Pacific,
increasing Downward Shortwave Radiation,
increasing Pacific
Equatorial Current flow.
For example, while SST decreased overall since 1958 in many parts of the California
Current, SST
increased in the easternmost southern subtropical gyre and
equatorial Pacific [40].
I see that this might
increase the flow through the Gulf of Mexico, which brings up the idea of using turbines in the Antilles passages tocreate some back pressure that diverts some of the
Equatorial current water around the Caribbean Sea and directly into the Gulf Stream.
It is refilled by the coldness of the poles, and artificial pumping, which will
increase poleward warm
currents (by mechanical pushing), will warm the arctic by pushing more warm
equatorial water towards the poles.
