Sentences with phrase «ocean temperatures and humidity»

Not exact matches

«We found that in North Pakistan and the Eastern Ghats, a mountain range close to the Indian Ocean, changes of temperatures and humidity mark a critical transition to monsoon,» explains Stolbova.

Yeh said the team's approach could also be used to study how four or more pharmaceuticals interact, and a similar mathematical framework could be used to better understand climate change (for example, to understand how temperature, rainfall, humidity and acidity of the oceans interact) and other scientific questions that have three or more key factors.

The framework would be useful for solving other questions in the sciences and social sciences in which researchers analyze how three or more components might interact — for example, how climate is affected by the interplay among temperature, rainfall, humidity and ocean acidity.

The ideal combination of high ocean temperature, soaring humidity and slow prevailing winds created the record - breaking beast

Surface specific humidity has generally increased after 1976 in close association with higher temperatures over both land and ocean.

The average mean temperature in January ranges from 53 - 59 degrees F; summers are a little warmer with an average mean temperature in July that ranges from 62 - 70 degrees F. Both winter and summer temperature extremes are moderated by the moist ocean air with generally high nighttime humidities and frequent fog.

Now since relative humidity remains roughly constant at the ocean surface and the air's capacity to hold water increases with temperature, relative humidity will actually decrease over land, particularly as one enters the continental interiors.

Emanuel (2005) makes a compelling case that the warming ocean temperatures (and associated changes in atmospheric temperature and humidity profiles) are behind the increased TC intensity in the Atlantic.

The best arguments, in my opinion, is in stressing the falsification of the AGW models which is happening in leaps and bounds: temperatures, lack of humidity, drop of ocean temperatures, tropical troposphere cool.

However, the critical threshold R C is independent of ɛ, and thus the calculation depends only on relatively robust averaged values of precipitation, net radiation, average temperature difference between land and ocean, specific humidity over ocean, and the natural constants ρ, L, and C p.

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.

Overall of course, we do see higher temperature anomalies over land on a historical basis, owing to the huge modulation role that the ocean plays in the storage of excess energy and the higher humidity levels over the ocean.

Besides these thousands of thermometer readings from weather stations around the world, there are many other clear indicators of global warming such as rising ocean temperatures, sea level, and atmospheric humidity, and declining snow cover, glacier mass, and sea ice.

Polar bears, arctic summer sea ice, regional droughts and floods, coral bleaching, hurricanes, alpine glaciers, malaria, etc., all depend not on GATA but on a huge number of regional variables including temperature, humidity, cloud cover, precipitation, and direction and magnitude of wind and the state of the ocean.

Increasing the surface temperature over the ocean by 1 °C should increase the humidity of saturation and thus the absolute humidity by 8 percent.

Atmospheric humidity has actually declined, while the atmosphere and ocean temperatures accelerate, decelerate and often develop cooling phases.

E. 7.3 Describe how global patterns such as the jet stream and ocean currents influence local weather in measureable terms such as temperature, air pressure, wind direction and speed, and humidity and precipitation.

Several factors play a role when a hurricane gains more power rapidly, including the temperature of the surface of the ocean, humidity, characteristics of the clouds, the heat content in the ocean, and the direction of the wind at the surface compared to miles above.

Air in clouds and immediately next to the ocean surface is at or near 100 % relative humidity, so as temperatures increase the absolute humidity there also increases.

The average absolute humidity also increases between the clouds and the ocean surface with increasing temperatures.

Temperature changes induced by sun and oceans drive air circulation changes which drive changes in every aspect of climate including convection, conduction, evaporation, condensation, precipitation, windiness, cloudiness, albedo and humidity as regards both quantities and distribution.

These metrics emphasise fields between 30S and 30N including 2 m air temperature (Willmott and Matsuura 2000), vertically averaged air temperature (ERA40, Uppala et al. 2005), latent heat fluxes of the ocean (Yu et al. 2008), zonal winds at 300 mb (ERA40, Uppala et al. 2005), longwave and shortwave cloud forcing (CERES2, Loeb et al. 2009), precipitation over land and ocean (GPCP, Adler et al. 2003), sea level pressure (ERA40, Uppala et al. 2005), vertically averaged relative humidity (ERA40, Uppala et al. 2005).

I see discussion of ocean temperature and evaporation rates without mention of relative humidity effecting evaporation and heat content.

And yes, greenhouse warming could be due to increased humidity, which in turn could be due to normal variability in the ocean surface temperature.
