Sentences with phrase «ocean stratification»

When combined with increased ocean stratification due to this enhanced run off [11], sea - surface temperatures are depressed, encouraging sea - ice formation.

The added resilience of the biological pump allows the ocean to remain a strong sink of atmospheric CO2 despite warming and increasing upper ocean stratification.»

A new study says that climate - induced feedback loops could lead to a change in ocean stratification and the more rapid melting of ice sheets.

Physical factors that affect uptake include increased ocean stratification due to increasing global temperatures.

On Thursday, Arnold Gordon, a Columbia University professor of ocean stratification and circulation confirmed that it's most likely the one they're looking for.

If this apparent transformation continues, it may lead to a markedly different ice regime in the Arctic, altering heat and mass exchanges as well as ocean stratification.

Ice shelves are important, because they play a role in the stability of the Antarctic Ice Sheet and the ice sheet's mass balance, and are important for ocean stratification and bottom water formation; this helps drive the world's thermohaline circulation.

Difficulties can, however, arise from lack of information on deep ocean stratification and salinity changes.

Warming in the 1 to 1.3 C range also provides an increasing ocean stratification pressure — one that has already been observed to increase the prevalence of ocean dead zones and one that will tend to shrink overall ocean vitality and productivity.

This could be caused either by less ocean stratification or less Antarctic sea - ice — but there was no proof.

A composite analysis of satellite - based SST measurements reveals that in the tropical region the average strength of the storm - induced sea surface cooling can be explained by the superposition of an effect due to the storm intensity and an effect associated with the translation speed, and implies that the variability of upper ocean stratification may not be an important factor in this region

A new study says that climate - induced feedback loops could lead to a change in ocean stratification and the more rapid melting of ice sheets.

On top of that, warming increases ocean stratification, which blocks the movement of oxygen - rich surface waters to lower depths.

«With the hydrological cycle projected to change under global warming, impacting upper - ocean stratification and mixing, the results from this study have potentially important implications for understanding future tropical cyclone activity.»

Southern Ocean surface cooling, while lower latitudes are warming, increases precipitation on the Southern Ocean, increasing ocean stratification, slowing deepwater formation, and increasing ice sheet mass loss.

Advancing the knowledge on the effects of sea ice deformations on upper ocean stratification and ecosystem will have profound implications on our ability to forecast ongoing changes in Arctic Ocean.

Middle panels: ocean stratification, as shown by potential density contours, along an Atlantic cross section at 26 ° W; notably, LGM stratification is enhanced.

Warming would lead to ocean stratification and less upwelling.

Uncertainty in these projections due to potential future climate change effects on the ocean carbon cycle (mainly through changes in temperature, ocean stratification and marine biological production and re-mineralization; see Box 7.3) are small compared to the direct effect of rising atmospheric CO2 from anthropogenic emissions.
