Sentences with phrase «ocean temperature patterns»

It's certainly true that unusual ocean temperature patterns at both tropical and high - latitude locations can affect atmospheric circulation.

The study reports that glaciers flowing to the coast on the western side of the Peninsula show a distinct spatial correlation with ocean temperature patterns, with those in the south retreating rapidly but those in the north showing little change.

For example, it is said that the Moscow heat wave was caused by an extreme atmospheric «blocking» situation, or the Texas heat wave was caused by La Niña ocean temperature patterns.

Regional trends are notoriously problematic for models, and seems more likely to me that the underprediction of European warming has to do with either the modeled ocean temperature pattern, the modelled atmospheric response to this pattern, or some problem related to the local hydrological cycle and boundary layer moisture dynamics.

We found that simulations produce an unrealistic single summer wet season, with no mid-summer break in the rains, and this is linked with biases in ocean temperature patterns.

For example, it is said that the Moscow heat wave was caused by an extreme atmospheric «blocking» situation, or the Texas heat wave was caused by La Niña ocean temperature patterns,» the researchers write.

The researchers detected an ocean temperature pattern that was a «fingerprint» for an AMOC slowdown: anomalous warming in the Gulf Stream and cooler waters near Greenland, suggesting that warm water was not being transported north as effectively as it once was, according to the study.

This mean state change generally resembled the ocean temperature pattern associated with La Niña, and as a result the Pacific entered a persistent «La Niña - like» state after the 1997 - 1998 El Niño.
