Sentences with phrase «most high northern latitudes»

Warming is expected to be greatest over land and at most high northern latitudes, and smallest over the Southern Ocean and parts of the North Atlantic Ocean.

Not exact matches

Now if «global» surface temperature anomaly correlated most strongly with the poles or the northern mid to high latitudes, I might tend to be more in the CO2 as the dominate forcing camp, but such is not the case.

Most interesting is that the about monthly variations correlate with the lunar phases (peak on full moon) The Helsinki Background measurements 1935 The first background measurements in history; sampling data in vertical profile every 50 - 100m up to 1,5 km; 364 ppm underthe clouds and above Haldane measurements at the Scottish coast 370 ppmCO2 in winds from the sea; 355 ppm in air from the land Wattenberg measurements in the southern Atlantic ocean 1925-1927 310 sampling stations along the latitudes of the southern Atlantic oceans and parts of the northern; measuring all oceanographic data and CO2 in air over the sea; high ocean outgassing crossing the warm water currents north (> ~ 360 ppm) Buchs measurements in the northern Atlantic ocean 1932 - 1936 sampling CO2 over sea surface in northern Atlantic Ocean up to the polar circle (Greenland, Iceland, Spitsbergen, Barents Sea); measuring also high CO2 near Spitsbergen (Spitsbergen current, North Cape current) 364 ppm and CO2 over sea crossing the Atlantic from Kopenhagen to Newyork and back (Brements on a swedish island Lundegards CO2 sampling on swedish island (Kattegatt) in summer from 1920 - 1926; rising CO2 concentration (+7 ppm) in the 20s; ~ 328 ppm yearly average

The majority of the warming in the last 150 years has been in high latitudes of the Northern hemisphere with the most amount of warming occurring on the Greenland ice sheet which is the same pattern of warming that occurred in past D - O cycles.

Dr. Ballard: The Northern Hemisphere is the location of most of the land mass on the Earth and much of it (Canada, Alaska, Siberia) lies at high latitudes.

The largest reservoirs of carbon on land are in the forests of the tropics and the soils of northern high latitudes, which are paradoxically, the least studied of terrestrial ecosystems, with the bulk of research effort made where most ecologists live, in the mid-latitudes.

Primary forest is most concentrated in northern high latitudes, and parts of Amazonia, while secondary vegetation is common in the United States, Africa, South America and Eurasia.

Note in panel (a) solar forcing that, aside from the high northern latitudes, the most warming also occurs in the tropics between 200 - 300 hPa, but that unlike in panel (c) well - mixed greenhouse gasses that the warming goes all the way to TOA.

In the interest of full disclosure, my «sense» is that such a small temperature increase would not increase water vapor significantly enough to cause a statistically significant increase in numbers and / or severity of extreme events, especially since most of the warming has reportedly been in the high northern latitudes where temperatures are well below 0C where the water vapor saturation value vs temperature curve is pretty flat.

Such changes are observed in many places, especially over land in middle and high latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere, leading to increased rains but reduced snowpacks, and consequently diminished water resources in summer, when they are most needed.

Hence, atmospheric GEM concentrations inferred from Greenland firn air and global anthropogenic Hg emissions have exhibited consistently similar trends during the most recent decades (Fig. 2), suggesting that the atmospheric reservoir of mercury at mid - and high - northern latitudes has been driven mainly by anthropogenic emissions during the last decades.

When I look at global temperature anomaly maps put out by NASA, I see that the most dramatic warming is occurring in the high northern latitudes (in places like Alaska, Siberia, and Greenland).

Most of the warming was in the high northern latitudes with little warming in the tropics.

Also, most of the projected surface warming is the high latitudes of the northern hemisphere, along with the direst impacts (melting of arctic sea ice and greenland, release of methane from permafrost, etc)
