Sentences with phrase «more warm tropical water»

Continents drifted and changed ocean currents and routed more and more warm tropical water into Polar Regions and that thawed more and more of the Polar Oceans to promote more and more snowfall and that did support more and more ice on land.

Not exact matches

A significant proportion of the loss is attributable to climate change, which has strengthened destructive tropical cyclones and made surrounding waters warmer and more acidic.

Coral reefs can't find a strong purchase in the eastern tropical Pacific thanks to more acidic waters — a potential precursor of what the ocean will be like under global warming

More than 3,000 species of sea creatures have been observed in the warm tropical waters around the island: When you're diving at Sipadan it's not a question of whether you'll see large pelagic species like manta rays, sea turtles, barracuda and sharks, but how many.

South Water Caye Imagine an island less than a half mile long, covered with white coral sand, tropical flowers, and coconut trees, surrounded by warm, crystal clear water enveloped in coral reefs that wrap more than half way around the isWater Caye Imagine an island less than a half mile long, covered with white coral sand, tropical flowers, and coconut trees, surrounded by warm, crystal clear water enveloped in coral reefs that wrap more than half way around the iswater enveloped in coral reefs that wrap more than half way around the island.

You'll find infinite stretches of warm blue waters, fine sandy beaches, hidden coves, lovely lagoons, and tropical islands that are ringed with even more beaches.

More than 7000 tropical islands, clear warm water, vast coral reefs and mind - blowingly beautiful flora and fauna make the Philippines a true scuba diver's paradise.

They mostly live in shallow and warm tropical waters, making them more easy to find in the Maldives.

Other factors would include: — albedo shifts (both from ice > water, and from increased biological activity, and from edge melt revealing more land, and from more old dust coming to the surface...); — direct effect of CO2 on ice (the former weakens the latter); — increasing, and increasingly warm, rain fall on ice; — «stuck» weather systems bringing more and more warm tropical air ever further toward the poles; — melting of sea ice shelf increasing mobility of glaciers; — sea water getting under parts of the ice sheets where the base is below sea level; — melt water lubricating the ice sheet base; — changes in ocean currents -LRB-?)

This seems like it's going to keep tropical waters hotter and thus promote more hurricanes (in agreement with what Gray says (if one interprets his statements as referring to the portion of the atlantic circulation — the subtropical gyre — that delivers more warm water to the tropics).

The increased area of warm water on the surface allows the tropical Pacific Ocean to discharge more heat than normal into the atmosphere through evaporation.

The reduction in cloud cover allows more Shortwave Radiation (visible light) to provide additional warming of the tropical Pacific waters east of the Pacific Warm Pool.

So you have warmer tropical waters and more poleward oceans would be warmer.

Their causes range from completely unpredictable events like volcanic eruptions (which have mainly local effects) to more regular phenomena such as «El Niño» (a warming of the surface waters of the tropical Pacific that occurs every three to five years, temporarily affecting weather world - wide).

The persistent upwelling of cold water in the eastern tropical Pacific would have reduced cloud cover there, via reduced oceanic evaporation, and thus allowed more of the sun's energy to enter the tropical ocean - this would have aided the ocean warming process, as generally the case when the tropical ocean is cooler - than - normal.

Other important natural climate influences like El Niño, the recurring warming of ocean waters in the tropical east - central Pacific Ocean, are more difficult to extract from climate datasets for two reasons.

As the air rises, it expands and cools, and water vapour condenses, releasing even more heat,» much like how a hurricane frees energy by drawing warm humid air from its base (usually tropical sea water) and then releasing cold, wet air 7 miles (12 kilometers) up in the troposphere.

The warmer the water, the more energy gets sucked in the air and the faster a tropical cyclone develops into a hurricane and the more powerful this hurricane can grow — other complex meteorological factors left aside.

The tropical cyclones that bend northwards, move across this warm water, that adds more vertical convection power and moisture to the weather system — that can then turn into a closed circulation hurricane.

Extratropical cyclones are distinct from tropical cyclones, which are generally smaller and more intense, and, as their name implies, originate over relatively warm water in the tropics.

During the warm period, faster currents cause more tropical water to travel to the North Atlantic, warming both the surface and the deep water.

During an El Nino, more warm water than normal covers the central and eastern tropical Pacific.

Scientists say the tropical storm was likely intensified by climate change: rising sea levels means larger storm surges, warmer ocean waters cause more precipitation, and unseasonal weather means hurricane season may be lasting longer.

The fact is, is that NOAA, in the federal government, has shown that there is conclusive evidence that the tropical waters are getting warmer as a result of global warming and while that doesn't lead to more hurricanes, what it leads to is more intense, and and hurricanes, hurricanes that are more intense.
