Sentences with phrase «low sea level pressure»

However, during the second half of July, ice loss slowed substantially as the high pressure over the central Arctic and Beaufort Sea was replaced by low sea level pressure (Figure 3).

As discussed in the July Outlook, low sea level pressure (SLP) dominated the Arctic Ocean in July, leading to ice divergence and cooler temperatures that helped to slow the fast pace of ice loss observed in May and June.

This is an increase of 1 million square kilometers from the July Outlook, reflecting the persistence of low sea level pressure (SLP) over the central Arctic that resulted in ice divergence and a more fractured ice cover.

In July, the Arctic Dipole Anomaly (DA) pattern that was dominant in June (which promotes clear skies, warm air temperatures, and winds that push ice away from coastal areas and encourages melt) was replaced by low sea level pressure (SLP) over the Arctic Ocean, leading to ice divergence (ice extent «spreading out») and cooler temperatures.

While the DA was replaced by low sea level pressure (SLP) over the Arctic Ocean in July, high pressure returned over the Beaufort Sea in August coupled with low pressure over Siberia, helping to compress ice towards the pole and bring warm air into the Arctic.

Should the ice sheet start to melt in a serious way (i.e. much more significantly than current indications suggest), then lowering of the elevation of the ice sheet will induce more melting simply because of the effect of the lapse rate (air being warmer closer to sea level due to pressure effects).

When the AO is in a positive phase, sea level pressure in the Arctic is particularly low.
