Sentences with phrase «ocean surface»

The more powerful the hurricane, the greater the drop of ocean surface temperature in its wake.

But ocean surface layers take nowhere near centuries to turn over.

As mentioned above, hurricanes feed and grow on warm ocean surface waters.

The melting ice would cool ocean surfaces at the poles even more.

Global ocean surface temperatures are the warmest since records began.

As a result ocean surface pH gradually rose above pH 8.

As such, the model currents do not necessarily accurately represent the state of ocean surface currents on any specific date, at any selected location.

It seems obvious to me that one has also increased the temperature differential between ocean surface and the atmosphere.

Just divide the volume change by the total ocean surface area, 360 million square km.

Since the darker ocean surface absorbs more sunlight than the bright ice, this warms the region even further.

Can factors other than heat, such as winds or ocean surface conditions, affect ice cover?

If there was more cloud forming ions, there should be more clouds over the ocean which should over time result in colder ocean surface temperatures.

So it seems like it might be a mistake to get into a box by predicting imminent surface temperature increase, or even ocean surface temperature increase.

And in terms of upper ocean surface somewhere around twice as much as this.

It is now 13 years since the 1998 culmination of a period of thirty years of unusual ocean surface warmth that resulted in the atmospheric temperature peak of that year.

A hotter ocean surface produces such weather extremes by accelerating the water cycle.

With less ice cover, more light will hit ocean surface waters.

The extended climate warming will drastically alter wind patterns, boost ocean surface temperatures and melt nearly all the sea ice in polar regions.

Ice is highly reflective, while the underlying ocean surface is far less reflective.

Another precursor is more floating ice than usual, which reduces the amount of ocean surface exposed to the winds, in turn reducing evaporation.

When sea ice melts, the dark - coloured ocean surface is exposed.

Thus your model doesn't fit one of the basic observations of what happens in the atmosphere and ocean surface layer (which also shows a similar decline).

The researchers are interested in exploring these increases in wind speed to determine if they have a role in slowing down warming in ocean surfaces.

Since most of the planet's surface is ocean, an unusually cool ocean surface temperature lowers the overall average.

Not only are ocean surface waters getting warmer, but so is water 1,500 feet below the surface.

All five lessons focus on real - world issues, related to ocean surface currents, which are investigated using satellite data, most collected by satellites and models.

The temperature that climate scientists typically reference and care about with regard to climate change is «the average global temperature across land and ocean surface areas».

As the sea ice melts, its white reflective surface is replaced by a relatively dark ocean surface.

These waters were some of the hottest spots of ocean surface in the world.

Ocean albedo is much lower than land and there's well over twice as much ocean surface as land surface.
