Sentences with phrase «ocean basins causes»

Transport of surface waters toward the western boundary of the ocean basins causes the ocean - surface slope to be steeper on the western side (versus eastern side) of a gyre (in either hemisphere).

The change in shape of ocean basins causes a change in a property known as resonance.

Not exact matches

Warming temperatures causes ocean water to expand, which raises sea level and glacial ice to melt that creates water that makes its way into ocean basins.

One of the subtle changes visible in the new data - set is how the Amazon's greenness corresponds to one of the long - known causes of rainfall or drought to the Amazon basin: changes in sea surface temperatures in the eastern Pacific Ocean, called the El Nino Southern Oscillation.

One important algae quantified by this new technique are the coccolithophores, ocean plants that surround themselves with reflective chalk plates that, en masse, can cause entire ocean basins to reflect more light when they «bloom.»

This one been thelongest of the three as hot ocean temperatures fueled by El Niño and climate change have caused reefs to suffer across every ocean basin.

The research team found that deoxygenation caused by climate change could already be detected in the southern Indian Ocean and parts of the eastern tropical Pacific and Atlantic basins.

Angel also argues in his paper that local dumping would cause «no impact on biodiversity... because the distribution of species are ocean basin in scale».

Although oxygen depletion occurs naturally in some parts of the ocean, such as fjords and deep basins, the Gulf of Mexico's dead zone is caused by humans.

I think the 60 year periodicity which constitutes your wave is an internal ocean phenomenon caused by the initial ENSO signal resonating through all the ocean basins.

The Antarctic ice sheet reached the coastline for the first time at ca. 33.6 Ma and became a driver of Antarctic circulation, which in turn affected global climate, causing increased latitudinal thermal gradients and a «spinning up» of the oceans that resulted in: (1) increased thermohaline circulation and erosional pulses of Northern Component Water and Antarctic Bottom Water; (2) increased deep - basin ventilation, which caused a decrease in oceanic residence time, a decrease in deep - ocean acidity, and a deepening of the calcite compensation depth (CCD); and (3) increased diatom diversity due to intensified upwelling.

However the additional over burden of water, fresh and salt to each part of any ocean or extremely large body of water causes the deflection of the bottom of that basin to some extant as well as presenting as a rise in seal level at that area.

Previous studies have considered mechanisms for the basin - scale ocean warming, but not the causes of the observed IPWP expansion, where expansion in the Indian Ocean has far exceeded that in the Pacific Oocean warming, but not the causes of the observed IPWP expansion, where expansion in the Indian Ocean has far exceeded that in the Pacific OOcean has far exceeded that in the Pacific OceanOcean.

I have illustrated and document that there are multiyear aftereffects of ENSO events that cause the positive trends in SST and TLT anomalies outside of the tropical Pacific, and I have shown that the rise in global OHC, when broken down into logical ocean basin subsets, is dominated by natural variables.

When a basin is resonant, energy from the gravitational attraction of the moon aligns with the length of the ocean basin, causing an amplification of tidal energy.

Then you can explain how a regional SST change can cause OHC to rise simultaneously in all major ocean basins for four decades (and counting).

b) volumetric effects — change in the volume of water contained in the oceans and the geometry and areal extent of the ocean basins c) gravitational effects — change in the gravitational attraction of the earth (induced by deformation), by the change in distribution of ice and by the change in self - attraction of the water d) rotational effects — change in the moment of inertia caused by a change in the distribution of mass within the earth and on its surface.

That's how unlikely it is that six different ocean basins would have these increases in hurricane intensity at the same time unless there is some common cause.
