Sentences with phrase «ocean variability contribute»

Identify how anthropogenic forcing and natural atmosphere - ocean variability contribute uniquely to decadal timescale changes in the width of the tropical belt.

Not exact matches

Shifts in internal temperature variability, measured through SST variance and skewness, are also occurring and contribute to much of the MHW trends observed over the remainder of the global ocean, particularly for MHW duration and intensity.

Better characterize the deep ocean to quantify the role of deep temperature and salinity signals that contribute to AMOC variability through enhancements to the observing system that directly measure deep ocean properties (temperature, salinity, and velocity) such as Deep Argo, Deep gliders, and moored instrumentation.

Then there is ENSO, for example, which was the principal cause of the all - time record warm year, 1998, plus other ocean currents, which contribute to natural variability but whose impact and root cause is not known.

If internal variability contributes 50 % of the warming, then the heat lost by the oceans would be more than twice as larger as the heat gain computed by the alternative model in which the internal variability contribution is small.

Using this estimate, the value of needed to produce near zero heat uptake by the oceans is, so internal variability need only contribute about 25 % of the total warming to fully compensate for the heat uptake due to the forced response.

Processes contributing to interannual steric sea level variability are studied over the period 1993 — 2004 using an observationally - constrained ocean state estimate produced by the ECCO («Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean») consorocean state estimate produced by the ECCO («Estimating the Circulation and Climate of the Ocean») consorOcean») consortium.

Factors which could contribute to the early 20th century warming include increasing greenhouse gas concentrations, changing solar and volcanic activity, and internal variability of the coupled ocean - atmosphere system.
