Sentences with phrase «making ocean temperature recordings»

In the past, as PopSci previously reported, most ocean temperature data was taken by ships which pulled water into their engine rooms — rooms warmer than the ocean outside, making ocean temperature recordings slightly higher.

Not exact matches

The main drivers of El Niño conditions, ocean temperatures in the central and eastern Pacific, were as high as 3 °C above the average, making this event one of the three most intense El Niños on record.

This all - time monthly record was broken in August 2015 (+0.78 °C / +1.40 °F), then broken again in September (+0.83 °C / +1.49 °F), and then broken once more in October (0.86 °C / 1.55 °F)-- making three all - time new monthly high global ocean temperature records set in a single calendar year.

The important point the study makes is that the onset of warming in the tropical ocean in the 1830s is earlier than is typically assumed from the instrumental record and from other proxy reconstructions that have focused mainly on Northern Hemisphere land temperatures.

What we think of as the modern temperature record is made up of many thousands of measurements from the air above land and the ocean surface, collected by ships, buoys and sometimes satellites, too.

-- The combined global land and ocean average surface temperature for the December — February period was 0.41 °C (0.74 °F) above the 20th century average of 12.1 °C (53.8 °F), making it the 17th warmest such period on record and the coolest December — February since 2008.

We often see «skeptics» suggest that the additional warming stored in the ocean can't possibly come back to affect tropospheric temperatures in any meaningful way, but the record levels of energy being stored in the Indo Pacific Warm Pool has impacted and made possible the record tropospheric temperatures Australia saw in 2013.

Mixing land and sea temperatures together is a dubious exercise, especially since much of the SH ocean temperatures have just been admittedly «made up» by those in charge of the instrumental record.

Previous large natural oscillations are important to examine: however, 1) our data isn't as good with regards to external forcings or to historical temperatures, making attribution more difficult, 2) to the extent that we have solar and volcanic data, and paleoclimate temperature records, they are indeed fairly consistent with each other within their respective uncertainties, and 3) most mechanisms of internal variability would have different fingerprints: eg, shifting of warmth from the oceans to the atmosphere (but we see warming in both), or simultaneous warming of the troposphere and stratosphere, or shifts in global temperature associated with major ocean current shifts which for the most part haven't been seen.

When it comes to Earth's warming climate, record - breaking surface temperatures make the headlines — but the full depths of the world's oceans bear the brunt of the change.

Bova et al., 2016 http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/2016GL071450/abstract «The observational record of deep - ocean variability is short, which makes it difficult to attribute the recent rise in deep ocean temperatures to anthropogenic forcing.

On the water, ocean temperatures were 1.35 degrees Fahrenheit higher, making it the warmest monthly ocean temperature on record.

Because oceans are big and slow to change that makes it more likely the world will set a yearly temperature record, he said.

Last month's combined global land and ocean surface temperature made it the sixth warmest February ever recorded.

... he also knows that urban heat island effects are corrected for in the surface records, and he also knows that this doesn't effect ocean temperatures, and that the station dropping out doesn't affect the trends at all (you can do the same analysis with only stations that remained and it makes no difference).

Those concerns ultimately turned out to be unfounded, as earlier this week ocean surface temperatures in the canonical Niño 3.4 region reached 3C above average for the first time in recorded history, validating dynamical model forecasts made many months earlier.

An analysis of the 2014 global temperature anomaly record shows that the record 2014 anomaly may not have been a global event at all caused by increased man made greenhouse gases but a regional SST record event in the North Pacific caused by unique ocean / atmospheric interchange events that may happen from time to time.

Tree Rings, CO2 levels, local temperature records from thermometers, sea shells, ocean floor deposits, and a thousand other things, give us «data» which we then attempt to decipher and make some sence out of.

4) If the temperature of the whole globe is being dragged down by the aerosols direct effect but most of the globe (the majority of the oceans, the polar regions, the deserts,...) is basically unaffected by this DE, it makes sense to look at the instrumental record to see the coolness in the affected industrialized regions that would compensate for the lack of aerosols on the rest of the globe.

The significant increase in ocean surface temperatures is likely to make 2015 the warmest year ever to be recorded.

Globally, average ocean temperature was 0.99 °F above the 20th century average for September, according to NOAA stats — making it the second warmest September for ocean temperatures on record, tying with 1997.

More on Global Climate Change: Canada Has Warmest (7.2 °F Above Normal) and Driest (22 % Below Normal) Winter on Record Global Ocean Temperatures Warmest Since Records Began in 1880 NASA Makes it Official: 2000 - 2009 Was Hottest Decade on Record

Despite large year - to - year fluctuations associated with the El Niño - La Niña cycle of tropical ocean temperature, the conclusion could be made that global temperature continued to rise rapidly in the 21st century, new record heights being reached in every decade.
