Sentences with phrase «latitudes near the poles»

We can not see the south pole, but we can see sunspots at latitudes near the poles and these sunspots are not there at the same time, they are seen alternately on the northern and southern hemispheres.

The study also notes that global warming is greatest at higher latitudes near the poles.

Not exact matches

The second cell consists of air rising in the middle latitudes — about 30 to 60 degrees north and south — and then falling again near the poles.

While the existing EISCAT transmitter in Norway allows scientists to study these effects at lower latitudes, the solar wind comes closest to the Earth much nearer to the pole.

But with more sunlight hitting near the equator than at the poles, it wasn't clear how enough energy could arrive at high latitudes.

Modeling Pluto's temperatures showed that when averaged over Pluto's 248 - year orbit, the latitudes near 30 degrees north and south emerged as the coldest places, far colder than either pole.

2 degrees seems like rather a lot to me, especially when we take into account how this is predicted to be manifested over the different latitudes (e.g. increases of much more than 2 degrees near the poles).

Ice at the poles does not change the amount of radiation reflected out of Earth's system near as effectively as ice at low latitudes.

This snowpack accumulation near the poles, which gets its water via the Arctic and Antarctic oceans, that in turn rob it from equatorial latitudes of our oceans, also results in a reduction in the earth's spin axis moment of inertia and causes the spin rate to increase as evidenced in the recent history of the rate at which Leap Seconds are added to our calendar (see Wysmuller's Toucan Equation for more on this evidence that during this warm time with much greater polar humidity, earlier seasonal, later seasonal and heavier snows are beginning to move water vapor from the oceans to the poles to re-build the polar ice caps and lead us into a global cooling, while man - made CO2 continues to increase http://www.colderside.com/faq.htm).

In contrast, during the summer at high latitudes, the troposphere warms significantly as a result of the long hours of daylight; however, owing to the oblique angle of the sunlight near the poles, the temperatures there remain relatively cool compared with middle latitudes.

Likewise on a global scale you have stronger heating near the equator than higher latitudes due to the curvature of the earth and the angle of incidence of the suns rays causing differential heating from the equator to the poles.

Michael Mann «Their climate model scenario wherein Greenland and Antarctic meltwater caused by warming poles, leads to a near total shutdown of ocean heat transport to higher latitudes, cooling most of the globe (particularly the extratropics), seems rather far - fetched to me.»

The number of species increases exponentially from the regions near the poles across the moderate latitudes and to the equator.

-- Tropical — occur near the equator, in low latitudes — Temperate — occur about halfway between the equator and the poles, in the middle latitudes — Polar — occur near the poles, in the high latitudes — Dry — occurs at many different latitudes — Highland — occurs at many different latitudes Geographers divide some climate zones into more specific climate regions.
