Not exact matches

Each year, a huge amount of water evaporates from the ocean, then falls over land as rain or snow, and returns to the ocean through runoff and river flows.

These algae are found all over the world, in soil, fresh water, oceans, and even in snow on mountaintops.

The warmer ocean waters mean more moisture in the atmosphere for the storm to suck up; the cold air over the continent ensures that moisture falls as snow.

In addition, since the global surface temperature records are a measure that responds to albedo changes (volcanic aerosols, cloud cover, land use, snow and ice cover) solar output, and differences in partition of various forcings into the oceans / atmosphere / land / cryosphere, teasing out just the effect of CO2 + water vapor over the short term is difficult to impossible.

In Antarctica, this means that cold and moister air from the surrounding oceans will blow over the interior and fall as snow, so increasing ice mass is to be expected.

Maue discussed how «two camps» of researchers claim to have increased predictability of such weather events over periods of a month or more by using clues either in the Arctic, related to the extent of sea ice and snow cover, or in the temperature of surface waters across the Pacific Ocean.

The unusual pattern of atmospheric high and low pressure over and around the Arctic that has contributed to the recent snow and cold from Alabama to Washington, to East Anglia, England (and rain and warmth along the west coast of Greenland) is also an important influence on the shifting sheath of sea ice on the Arctic Ocean.

About 60 % of the rain and snow over land comes straight from the oceans, and the other 40 % is «recycled» over the continents.

A «winter snow storm» from a flow of moisture that originated over record warm ocean temperatures of the Pacific.

I also wonder how that measures snow that falls on the ocean, which must be a significant portion (do years with randomly more blizzards over land overtake the signal being looked for?).

Sea levels will rise over the century by around half a metre; snow will disappear from all but the highest mountains; deserts will spread; oceans become acidic, leading to the destruction of coral reefs and atolls; and deadly heatwaves will become more prevalent.

The 2009 State of the Climate Report of the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) tells us that climate change is real because of rising surface air temperatures since 1880 over land and the ocean, ocean acidification, sea level rise, glaciers melting, rising specific humidity, ocean heat content increasing, sea ice retreating, glaciers diminishing, Northern Hemisphere snow cover decreasing, and so many other lines of evidence.

The range of ocean remaining frozen over the northern polar region reached its minimum extent for 2009 on September 12, when it covered 1.97 million square miles (5.1 million square km), and now appears to be growing again as the Arctic starts its annual cool - down, the National Snow and Ice Data Center reported.

And remember, the satellite data are one small part of a vast amount of data that overwhelmingly show our planet is warming up: retreating glaciers, huge amounts of ice melting at both poles, the «death spiral» of arctic ice every year at the summer minimum over time, earlier annual starts of warm weather and later starts of cold weather, warming oceans, rising sea levels, ocean acidification, more extreme weather, changing weather patterns overall, earlier snow melts, and lower snow cover in the spring...

Clouds exist at all latitudes, especially in the tropics over the ocean, where the sun rays are most direct and intense; ice and snow only exist at higher latitudes, where the incoming solar radiation is less intense.

SHEBA observations of the evolution of temperature over the course of winter within the atmosphere (red), at the snow surface (black), at the top of the sea ice (green), and at the ocean surface beneath the sea ice (blue).

Over snow and ice, the albedo (about 0.7 to 0.9) is large compared to that over the oceans (< 0Over snow and ice, the albedo (about 0.7 to 0.9) is large compared to that over the oceans (< 0over the oceans (< 0.1).

Furthermore we recommend that effort should be put into developing an inter-annually varying snow depth and density over sea ice product for the ice - covered oceans.

According to the National Snow and Ice Data Center, «This is the fourth winter in a row that such heat waves have been recorded over the Arctic Ocean.»

Now the oceans are warm and it is snowing more and the ice extent retreat is over or nearly over.

So all those hurricanes, typhoons, summer storms, winter snow all that precipitation fell on land and didn't go into rivers that flow to the seas and all those hurricanes we tracked over oceans didn't drop any water on the oceans??? What schools did these scientists go to?

Second, even there the air temperature will affect how much moisture can be brought in from those easterly gales — the colder the air over the ocean, the less moisture will be entrained, and the less snow will result.

Only about 818,000 square miles of the ocean around Antarctica was frozen over with sea ice on March 1, according to data analyzed and published by the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC).

(1) there is established scientific concern over warming of the climate system based upon evidence from observations of increases in global average air and ocean temperatures, widespread melting of snow and ice, and rising global average sea level;

These trends in extreme weather events are accompanied by longer - term changes as well, including surface and ocean temperature increase over recent decades, snow and ice cover decrease and sea level rise.

One study concludes that about 60 percent of the rain and snow that falls over land comes from moisture originating from the oceans, and the other 40 percent is «recycled» over the continents.

So, it takes heat to evaporate the moisture from the oceans, and it generally stays warmer near the oceans, but once this moist air travels over the interior of a continent and finds cooler air, bingo, you get more snow!
