Sentences with phrase «ocean transport»

Cheap ocean transport eliminated the physical barrier of distance.

Air and ocean transport make up only 3 % of global greenhouse gas emissions.

In the top - end scenario DeConto's study describes, meltwater from Antarctica could surpass the equivalent of all the world's rivers combined in about 100 years — which is similar to the scenario that Hansen says could be enough to trigger profound changes in the way global oceans transport heat.

Hansen 1988 did use other forcing but he decoupled the ocean feedback writing, «we stress that this «surprise - free» representation of the ocean excludes the effects of natural variability of ocean transports and the possibility of switches in the basic mode of ocean circulation.»

Proceedings of the GESAMP International Workshop on micro - plastic particles as a vector in transporting persistent, bio - accumulating and toxic substances in the oceans

Hall, T.M., and T.W.N. Haine, 2002: On ocean transport diagnostics: The idealized age tracer and the age spectrum.

The Company is engaged in the seaborne transportation industry through the ownership of containerships and operates its fleet through Unitized Ocean Transport Limited (UOT), a subsidiary of the Company.

At the same time, La Niña in the eastern Pacific Ocean transports water east to west.

After viewing The data collected helps scientists understand how oceans transport heat around the globe.

AUTONOMOUS VESSEL: There are many ways artificial intelligence (AI) can be used in traditional vessel designs, but for real advances toward zero emission ocean transport, advanced navigation in unmanned vessels, should be allied to energy harvesting from nature.

Each year about 10,000 shipping containers, each weighing anywhere from 5,000 to 55,000 lbs., fall overboard during ocean transport.

This «Q - flux» is the prescribed effect of ocean transport.

The way the ocean transported heat, nutrients and carbon dioxide at the peak of the last ice age is significantly different than what has previously been suggested.

However, such changes have been modelled (and observed in the climate record) for the ocean transports.

«The slab mixed - layer ocean model assumes a fixed mixed - layer depth... The SST is determined by the energy balance between radiative flux at surface, latent and sensible heat fluxes and Q - flux, which crudely simulates the ocean transport.»

The TCR does not scale linearly with ECS because the transient response is strongly influenced by the speed with which the ocean transports heat into its interior, while the equilibrium sensitivity is governed by feedback strengths (discussion in Frame et al., 2005).

We used observations of inert and radioactive chemical constituents («tracers») to estimate the rates at which the ocean transports material from the surface to the interior.
