Global warming could seriously mess with fisheries in a few ways: Carbon dioxide in the
air contributes to
ocean acidification, sea level rise could change the dynamics of fisheries, and cold water fish like salmon could be pushed out by warming
streams.
After it reaches
streams and
oceans, nitrogen molecules contribute to algal blooms and return to the
air to warm the atmosphere and deplete stratospheric ozone.
Forgetting to set your alarm and waking up to sunlight
streaming in through your bedroom window, the feeling of soft green grass on the soles of my bare feet, crisp cool morning
air before a hot summer day, steel cut oats with sweet granules of melted brown sugar, the glittery reflection of sunbeams as they softly touch the water, the smell of the forest after it has rained, mornings spent curled up in a hammock loosing yourself in a book, walking everywhere because it's sunny and you can, teaching a first grader how to do a cartwheel, watching the sunrise with someone you love, skinny dipping in the
ocean, braiding daisy chains into your hair prior to discovering a spider!
-- South from Dominical to Ojochal you find more than 13 unique beaches with spectacular views of islands, or
ocean carves caves that shoot
streams of water high into the
air.
As things heat up, I would therefore expect that hotter
air will create less dense
air and that said,
air expansion would push the jet
streams north and south as the tropics get more sunlight and the heat is trapped in the climate system, and absorbed slowly by the
oceans.

OCEAN CURRENTS Cold and warm
streams of water move through
oceans (based on earth's rotation, differences in water temperature, and change in
air pressure.
The weather systems move towards the equator to allow the polar
air north of the jet
streams to cover a larger oceanic area and thereby draw more heat from the
oceans to replace any energy deficit.
The advantage of recognising a reversed sign for the solar effect high up in the atmosphere is that it enables a scenario whereby the bottom up effects of
ocean cycles and the top down effects of solar variability can be seen to be engaged in a complex ever changing dance with the primary climate response being changes in the tropospheric
air circulation systems to give us the observed natural climate variability via cyclical latitudinal shifts in all the
air circulation systems and notably the jet
streams.
And since the temperature difference between the Arctic and the tropics is narrowing, and since it's the temperature difference that drives wind and
ocean currents, then the jet
stream that normally whizzes around the Arctic circle — thus keeping frozen
air in one place and separating it from the warm breezes of the south — is, the theory goes, slowing, thus allowing warm moist
air to penetrate into the north.
E. 7.3 Describe how global patterns such as the jet
stream and
ocean currents influence local weather in measureable terms such as temperature,
air pressure, wind direction and speed, and humidity and precipitation.
In an article on September 12, I reported on a 2012 paper by Jennifer Francis of Rutgers University and Stephen Vavrus of the University of Wisconsin, which showed that the loss of Arctic summer sea ice cover is adding enough heat to the
ocean and atmosphere that it is helping to redirect the jet
stream — the fast - moving high - altitude river of
air that steers storm systems across the northern hemisphere.
This article provides evidence in support of my proposition that the jet
stream positions are affected partly by the levels of solar activity and I have proposed a mechanism via an interplay between the solar influenced size, position and intensities of the polar oscillations in the
air on the one hand and the varying rates of energy release by the
oceans on the other.
I have now realised that the global albedo changes necessary and the changes in solar energy input to the
oceans can be explained by the latitudinal shifts (beyond normal seasonal variation) of all the
air circulation systems and in particular the net latitudinal positions of the three main cloud bands namely the two generated by the mid latitude jet
streams plus the Inter Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ).
