Sentences with phrase «ocean basins where»

Using statistical analysis, the new study shows that even in ocean basins where reduced wind shear plays a role, warming sea - surface temperature is the dominant driver.

While the global value will comprise ocean basins where there could be no rise or even a fall in cyclones, the global data does show a quite convincing rise in the nuumber of major tropical cyclones globally.)

The only ocean basin where the rise might be misinterpreted as being monotonous WAS the North Atlantic, but that has shown a significant drop since 2005.

Most of the deep ocean warming is occurring in the subtropical ocean gyres - vast rotating masses of water in each ocean basin where near - surface currents converge and are forced downward into the ocean interior.

Freshening of the Arctic is so intense (McPhee et al. 2009) that the Arctic Ocean, progressively transformed into the Arctic Ocean Estuary (McClelland et al. 2012), is possibly the only ocean basin where OA by anthropogenic CO2 may not suffice to account for the observed and predicted pH and Ωaragonite trends.

The South Atlantic is unique in that it is the only major ocean basin where heat is transported from the pole towards the equator.

Not exact matches

The planet continued to expand in the areas where land had been ripped apart, and oceans filled in the basins, he argued.

Another difference is that northern water is in a fairly protected basin, while the Antarctic sea ice floats in open oceans where it expands freely in winter and melts almost completely in summer.

MHW intensity between 1982 — 1998 and 2000 — 2016 increased in over 65 % of the global ocean, most notably in all five western boundary current regions, where the mean warming has been considerably faster than the global average39, and most mid-latitude ocean basins (Fig. 1e).

Presently, much of the Atlantic Ocean is well oxygenated (Figure 1) relative to the North Indian and Pacific Oceans, where bottom water O2 concentrations are lower because of the biological removal of O2 as thermohaline circulation moves deep waters across ocean basins from the North and South Atlantic towards the North Pacific, in isolation from the surface oOcean is well oxygenated (Figure 1) relative to the North Indian and Pacific Oceans, where bottom water O2 concentrations are lower because of the biological removal of O2 as thermohaline circulation moves deep waters across ocean basins from the North and South Atlantic towards the North Pacific, in isolation from the surface oocean basins from the North and South Atlantic towards the North Pacific, in isolation from the surface oceanocean.

These are large rotating masses of water, in each ocean basin, where ocean currents converge at their centre and are forced downwards, taking warm surface water with them.

In our case where the «container» is an ocean basin, this would mean a fall in the «global mean sea level».

Additionally, the Atlantic Ocean is the only basin in which there is an equatorward warm surface current (part of the Meridional Overturning Circulation) and this ultimately carries heat to the North Atlantic - where it sinks.

We need to be careful focussing upon «trends» — it can lead to serious errors of context — and this underlies the entire «global warming» thesis which relies upon computer models with entirely false (i.e. non-natural) notions of an equilibrium starting point and calculations of trend — this conveniently ignores cycles, and it has to because a) there are several non-orbital cycles in motion (8 - 10 yr, 11, 22, 60, 70, 80, 400 and 1000 - 1500) depending on ocean basic, hemisphere and global view — all interacting via «teleconnection» of those ocean basins, some clearly timed by solar cycles, some peaking together; b) because the cycles are not exact, you can not tell in any one decade where you are in the longer cycles.

There was also the definitive Fairall et al (1996) but they didn't observe the IPCC's mechanism either, which begs the question: where exactly in the respective ocean basins is the IPCC's posited phenomenon actually occurring?

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.

Although there is very little trend in the OHC in the subpolar North Atlantic where the salinity induced vacillation cycle dominates, there is a linear OHC trend equatorward of 45 ° N and ° S in the Atlantic basin (including the Southern Ocean)(fig.

In the 2011 study it didn't stop, however, raising the possibility that the shape and size of different ocean basins, independent of Earth's rotation, decided where deep water would form.

This is where the claim that global warming is due to an alignment of all these «natural» ocean basin and atmospheric fluctuations originates — but it doesn't work.
