Sentences with phrase «ocean stratification due»

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

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

Not exact matches

I understand this is mostly due to the isostatic pressure being the major factor in the ocean's density profile resulting in a lot of stratification.

About half of the pCO2 decrease may be due to increased glacial ocean stratification, trapping carbon - rich waters in the deep layers away from the atmosphere (22, 23).

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.

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

The answer is in thermal expansion of the ocean waters, which was greater in the early Eocene than in the late Cretaceous, due to greater temperature stratification of ocean water is the early Eocene versus the late Cretaceous.
