Sentences with phrase «less snow and ice»

The ice - albedo feedback will be reversed: less snow and ice means more sunlight is absorbed, which makes the planet warmer, which means there is less snow and ice, and so on.

With less snow and ice to reflect the sun's rays and with more exposed ocean to absorb heat, a vicious cycle leads to even warmer temperatures.

And faster - melting ice is causing a decrease in hunting days each year, while igloos, which native hunters prefer to tents when they are on the trail, are much harder to build with less snow and ice.

Not exact matches

These layers may be visible, related to the nature of the ice; or they may be chemical, related to differential transport in different seasons; or they may be isotopic, reflecting the annual temperature signal (for example, snow from colder periods has less of the heavier isotopes of H and O).

Unless you live where the roads are regularly covered in snow and ice or the noted compromises are worth the over-the-top security during a wicked storm, I'd seriously consider a less aggressive winter tire.

Also, if you don't use the front defrost, it will keep your windshield colder and mean that ice builds up less on the blades since snow hitting the windshield will bounce off rather than melting on contact.

The snow and ice grip advantage over its competitors makes up for this shortcoming but I'd consider a less - aggressive winter tire for milder climates or higher - performance automobiles.

< span data - component =» DisclosureBubble» title =» No system can repeal the laws of physics or overcome careless driving actions. Performance is limited by available traction, which snow, ice and other conditions can affect. When the warning lamp flashes, the driver needs to use less throttle and adapt speed and driving behaviour to prevailing road conditions.» >

With 300 + days of sunshine a year, weight of ice and snow is less of a concern than in other parts of Colorado.

After a few years of rolling black - outs, ice - storms, and metre high snow, home owners have begun to pay attention to the less - than - glamourous work horse in their home: the furnace.

He put on a few extra pounds this past winter due to the snow and ice and less walks.

These wildfires release soot into the atmosphere, which accelerates the rate of melting of glaciers, snow and ice it lands upon, which can lead to less reflectivity, meaning more of the sun's heat is absorbed, leading to more global warming, which leads to even more wildfires, not to mention greater sea level rise, which is already threatening coastal areas around the world.

Will less ice and snow in the Arctic during winter increase, decrease or be about the same radiation loss as years with thick multiyear ice?

The Independent story headline is a small gamble, there can be massive cloud coverage (occurring as I write) continuing from the usual great snow and ice Arctic summer melt, but I am quite sure the ice extent may be equal or less than last year come September 20.

In the age of global warming, one thing is certain: There will be less ice and snow.

It snows less and ice depletes and then retreats and earth warms.

Snow and ice reflect heat very effectively (which is why patches of snow survive long after temperatures rise above freezing), so if warming leads to less snow, then more heat will be absorbed, which warms the planet furtSnow and ice reflect heat very effectively (which is why patches of snow survive long after temperatures rise above freezing), so if warming leads to less snow, then more heat will be absorbed, which warms the planet furtsnow survive long after temperatures rise above freezing), so if warming leads to less snow, then more heat will be absorbed, which warms the planet furtsnow, then more heat will be absorbed, which warms the planet further.

So; more snow and coldness is because is less and less ice on Arctic as shield / insulator for the water.

But with several factors combining to increase temperatures in Greenland and reduce the reflectivity of the snow and ice cover, the ice sheet is becoming less efficient at reflecting that heat energy, and as a consequence melt seasons are becoming more severe.

Clouds exist at all latitudes, especially in the tropics over the ocean, where the sun rays are most direct and intense; ice and snow only exist at higher latitudes, where the incoming solar radiation is less intense.

The simplistic argument being that less solar energy will be reflected by water compared to an ice or snow surface leading to further warming and thus ever more melting.

Yes, people probably get the point that global warming and climate change mean higher sea levels, melting ice in the Arctic, fewer species, less snow for skiing, and bigger storms and droughts.

When oceans get cold, and the surface of polar waters freezes, it snows much less and the sun takes away ice and limites the lower bound of temperature and sea level.

The darkness of land and water compared with the reflectiveness of snow and ice means that when the latter melt to reveal the former, the area exposed absorbs more heat from the sun and reflects less of it back into space.

The reason, Werner said, is because the loss of snow and ice makes the earth's surface less reflective, meaning solar radiation — or heat — is absorbed in greater amounts by the exposed dark ocean or tundra.

And the US National Snow and Ice Data Centre (NSDIC) reports that the sea ice was also a full million square kilometres less than May 2012 − the year that, in September, recorded the lowest - ever summer exteAnd the US National Snow and Ice Data Centre (NSDIC) reports that the sea ice was also a full million square kilometres less than May 2012 − the year that, in September, recorded the lowest - ever summer exteand Ice Data Centre (NSDIC) reports that the sea ice was also a full million square kilometres less than May 2012 − the year that, in September, recorded the lowest - ever summer exteIce Data Centre (NSDIC) reports that the sea ice was also a full million square kilometres less than May 2012 − the year that, in September, recorded the lowest - ever summer exteice was also a full million square kilometres less than May 2012 − the year that, in September, recorded the lowest - ever summer extent.

Remember, in the not too distant past we've seen predictions from them about how global warming will soon be causing less or no snow, winters will disappear and how Arctic and Antarctic ice will soon be disappearing, right?

Polar bears are one of the most sensitive Arctic marine mammals to climate warming because they spend most of their lives on sea ice.35 Declining sea ice in northern Alaska is associated with smaller bears, probably because of less successful hunting of seals, which are themselves ice - dependent and so are projected to decline with diminishing ice and snow cover.36, 37,38,39 Although bears can give birth to cubs on sea ice, increasing numbers of female bears now come ashore in Alaska in the summer and fall40 and den on land.41 In Hudson Bay, Canada, the most studied population in the Arctic, sea ice is now absent for three weeks longer than just a few decades ago, resulting in less body fat, reduced survival of both the youngest and oldest bears, 42 and a population now estimated to be in decline43 and projected to be in jeopardy.44 Similar polar bear population declines are projected for the Beaufort Sea region.45

However, the more the ice compacts and the less that snow accumulates, the harder it is to see these annual layers.

Shallow snow cover over birthing lairs, which are built against pressure ridges as shown in the diagram above (considered to be less than 25 - 32 cm over the lair, or less than 20 cm over flat ice), 1 can mean the snow caves are easier for polar bears to break into (and consume the pup)-- that's good news for polar bears (in the short term) but bad news for ringed seals.

Snow depth over sea ice in spring affects the hunting success of polar bears on ringed seal (Phoca hispida) pups, but the relationship is more complicated than you might think and there is less data on this phenomenon than you would believe.

AGW causes cool summers, cold winters, hot summers and warm winters, droughts, rain, flood, sun burnt whales, more snow, less snow, more ice, less ice, disruptions in ocean currents, and much much more.

But so is less ice, so is more snow and less snow, more hurricanes and fewer hurricanes, ect.

According to the National Snow and Ice Data Center, there is now 10 percent less permafrost, or permanently frozen ground, in the Northern Hemisphere than there was in the early 1900s.

With less ice and snow reflecting the Sun's rays, melting will decrease Earth's albedo, with a predictable impact: more warming.

What is clear is that a warming world will also be a world with less ice and snow cover.

3) Which means more snow builds up every winter, with less melting each summer, piling up more and more ice.

When the oceans are cold and the arctic is closed it snows less and the ice retreats where ever it needs to allow the earth to warm.

· Also, ocean acidity should rise, making it more difficult for corals and other animals to make shells; hurricanes should become stronger; heat waves and heavy rain should be more frequent; there will be less ice and snow; and there should be more rain away from the equator.

During cold ocean times the Arctic Water freezes and that causes less than enough snow to replace the ice that melts each year.

Add in the jokers — less melt ponds, more snow cover, stressed / weaker ice pack, the volume perhaps more concentrated in areas that melt out — and the height of the 2017 melt season could go any - which - way.

Snow and ice reflect more sunlight than bare ground, meaning less solar radiation is absorbed by the surface.

We have lost lives because of less predictability in ice and snow cover.
