Not exact matches

They tested different degrees of axis tilt, which influences how much sunlight the planet's upper and lower latitudes receive, as well as different degrees of eccentricity — the extent to which the planet's orbit around the sun deviates from a circle, which can amplify seasonal temperature changes.

Heterothermy, the ability of some animals to lower their metabolism and body temperature, is traditionally seen as an effective adaptation to predictable seasonal bottlenecks of unproductive cold periods.

On the edge of the Sahara, Morocco enjoys desert sun and seasonal water temperatures in the low 70s in early fall dropping to high 50s in the dead of winter.

eg2 Similarly there are seasonal temperature changes such that in winter the average temp is ~ 10 - 20 degrees lower than the mean, and likewise the northern winter CO2 air concentration is 5ppm lower, thus changing the energy flow balance in winter vs summer and day vs night & north vs south.

Moreover, the seasonal, regional, and atmospheric patterns of rising temperatures — greater warming in winters than summers, greater warming at high latitudes than near the equator, and a cooling in the stratosphere while the lower atmosphere is warmer — jibe with what computer models predict should happen with greenhouse heating.

The three different ozone databases yield changes in tropical lower stratospheric temperatures that differ by more than a factor of two at 70 mbar, although all have qualitatively similar seasonal cycles.

On a seasonal basis the ranges between the daily maximum, minimum and average are all listed and the lowest ratio is that the daily minimum temperature range over the year is 77,000 times greater than the temperature difference that would result from the proposed 30 % reduction in emissions.

Temperatures are rising across the globe, but scientists say that the warmth in the Arctic has been especially profound, as they report exceptionally low snow cover in the Northern Hemisphere and premature seasonal melting of sea ice along with the Greenland ice sheet.

Other in situ and satellite data suggest that even though the seasonal ice cover was formed later in the fall of 2007, the mean thickness of first year ice cover is comparable to that of the previous two seasons because of lower snow accumulation and lower air temperatures and thus, faster growth.

Distributions of seasonal and annual temperature trends show high rates of warming in the high - elevation regions of the country (Middle Mountains and Himalaya), while low warming or even cooling trends were found in the southern regions.

Meanwhile, if the end - use mix ultimately includes more vehicle charging and heating applications, seasonal low temperatures drive heating demand and reduce the efficiency of EVs.

As Arrieff points out, living walls are not only beautiful and seasonal, but they also absorb and filter storm water, digest nasty particulates, improve outdoor and air quality, and regulate the building's temperature to lower heating and cooling bills.
