Sentences with phrase «ocean heat flux»

There also was a discussion (p 11) of the uncertainty of ocean heat flux data being 10 - 20 % (or 20 W / m2) versus the change in global heat flux due to AGW since 1900 being less that 2 W / m2 (a factor of 10 less).

The ice melting from ocean heat flux decreases faster than the ice growth does in the weakly stratified Southern Ocean, leading to an increase in the net ice production and hence an increase in ice mass.»

Dozens of autonomous buoys deployed on the sea ice as far as 20 kilometers away from the vessel measured the growth and melting of sea ice to give indications of ocean heat flux on a larger scale.

The RILES we found were due in part to ocean heat flux pulses on the Atlantic side.

•» According to Zhang (2007) thermal expansion in the lower latitude is unlikely because of the reduced salt rejection and upper - ocean density and the enhanced thermohaline stratification tend to suppress convective overturning, leading to a decrease in the upward ocean heat transport and the ocean heat flux available to melt sea ice.

Suppression of ocean circulation overturning decreases the ocean heat flux available to melt ice, leading to an increase in net ice production [13].

Ocean heat flux is a turbulent and complex system [7] which utilizes atmospheric measurement techniques such as eddy covariance to measure the rate of heat transfer expressed in the unit of joules or watts per second.

The majority of the ocean heat flux is through advection or the movement of the ocean's currents.
