Sentences with phrase «land and ocean domains»

Warming has occurred in both land and ocean domains, and in both sea surface temperature (SST) and nighttime marine air temperature over the oceans.

Not exact matches

I modified the domain files such that the ocean fraction and mask was 1 everywhere, and the land fraction and mask was 0 everywhere.

Three scientific panels, reporting to the Steering Committee, were established to define the observations needed in each of the main global domains (atmosphere, oceans and land), to prepare specific programme elements and to make recommendations for implementation:

results for global and tropical domains, the extratropics of both hemispheres, departures from the zonal mean, and land - and ocean - only domains

The need to adapt to a changing climate and eventually to mitigate climate change increasingly requires more accurate information on fluxes across the traditional domains atmosphere, ocean, land in order to improve our understanding of the major climatic cycles, carbon, water and energy.

Reservoir turnover times (a measure of how long the carbon stays in the reservoir) range from a few years for the atmosphere to decades to millennia for the major carbon reservoirs of the land vegetation and soil and the various domains in the ocean.

Regional correlations were obtained by averaging correlation coefficients which exhibit p - values less than 0.05, for land, ocean, and total field domains.

However, the AMO exhibits the highest magnitude correlations for all subdomains of mid-level cloud cover having negative correlation coefficients of − 0.223, − 0.205, and − 0.218 for ocean, land, and entire domain respectively.

The cross correlation coefficients additionally indicate that low cloud cover, over land, ocean, and the entire domain exert the most control over the total cloud cover: 0.856, 0.876, and 0.863, respectively.

Fasullo and Trenberth (2008a) provide an assessment of the global energy budgets at TOA and the surface, for the global atmosphere, and ocean and land domains based on a synthesis of satellite retrievals, reanalysis fields, a land surface simulation, and ocean temperature estimates.

Fasullo and Trenberth (2008b) went on to evaluate the temporal and spatial characteristics of meridional atmospheric energy transports for ocean, land, and global domains, while Trenberth and Fasullo (2008) delved into the ocean heat budget in considerable detail and provided an observationally based estimate of the mean and annual cycle of ocean energy divergence and a comprehensive assessment of uncertainty.
