Sentences with phrase «ocean volume mean»

Based on the linear trend, for the 0 to 3,000 m layer for the period 1961 to 2003 there has been an increase of ocean heat content of approximately 14.2 ± 2.4 × 1022 J, corresponding to a global ocean volume mean temperature increase of 0.037 °C during this period.

Not exact matches

To understand sea - level change means understanding not only the transfer of land ice into the ocean, but also, for example, how the gravitational field of the Earth changes as inconceivably large water volumes shift around the planet.

Positive energy content change means an increase in stored energy (i.e., heat content in oceans, latent heat from reduced ice or sea ice volumes, heat content in the continents excluding latent heat from permafrost changes, and latent and sensible heat and potential and kinetic energy in the atmosphere).

The heat content of the world ocean increased by ~ 2 × 10 ^ 23 joules between the mid-1950s and mid-1990s, representing a volume mean warming of 0.06 °C.

That means that the NH parts of all oceans, which have a smaller volume, are heating faster than the SH parts.

Vertical land movements such as resulting from glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA), tectonics, subsidence and sedimentation influence local sea level measurements but do not alter ocean water volume; nonetheless, they affect global mean sea level through their alteration of the shape and hence the volume of the ocean basins containing the water.

On decadal and longer time scales, global mean sea level change results from two major processes, mostly related to recent climate change, that alter the volume of water in the global ocean: i) thermal expansion (Section 5.5.3), and ii) the exchange of water between oceans and other reservoirs (glaciers and ice caps, ice sheets, other land water reservoirs - including through anthropogenic change in land hydrology, and the atmosphere; Section 5.5.5).

This means that the ice volume at the poles and northern latitudes has increased and that means that albedo has increased and it means the oceans are dropping and not rising.

We have estimated an increase of 24 X 10 ^ 22 J repre - senting a volume mean warming of 0.09 C of the 0 — 2000 m layer of the World Ocean.

The heat content of the world ocean for the 0 - 2000 m layer increased by 24.0 × 1022 J corresponding to a rate of 0.39 Wm - 2 (per unit area of the world ocean) and a volume mean warming of 0.09 ºC.

The fact that a great deal of the melt in Arctic sea ice is affected by the accumulating heat in the oceans and the fact that energy is advected to the Arctic via the oceans in much larger amounts than via the atmosphere and the extreme loss we've seen in Arctic sea ice volume as a result means nothing to the «skeptics».

You wrote - «The fact that a great deal of the melt in Arctic sea ice is affected by the accumulating heat in the oceans and the fact that energy is advected to the Arctic via the oceans in much larger amounts than via the atmosphere and the extreme loss we've seen in Arctic sea ice volume as a result means nothing to the «skeptics».»

E.) corresponding to a rate of 0.39 W m − 2 (per unit area of the World Ocean) and a volume mean warming of 0.09 °C.»

The low compressibility of water means that even in the deep oceans at 4 km depth, where pressures are 40 MPa, there is only a 1.8 % decrease in volume.

All of these characteristics (except for the ocean temperature) have been used in SAR and TAR IPCC (Houghton et al. 1996; 2001) reports for model - data inter-comparison: we considered as tolerable the following intervals for the annual means of the following climate characteristics which encompass corresponding empirical estimates: global SAT 13.1 — 14.1 °C (Jones et al. 1999); area of sea ice in the Northern Hemisphere 6 — 14 mil km2 and in the Southern Hemisphere 6 — 18 mil km2 (Cavalieri et al. 2003); total precipitation rate 2.45 — 3.05 mm / day (Legates 1995); maximum Atlantic northward heat transport 0.5 — 1.5 PW (Ganachaud and Wunsch 2003); maximum of North Atlantic meridional overturning stream function 15 — 25 Sv (Talley et al. 2003), volume averaged ocean temperature 3 — 5 °C (Levitus 1982).

The global mean sea level trend is corrected for the Glacial Isostatic Adjustment using the ICE5G - VM2 GIA model (Peltier, 2004) to take into account the associated volume changes of the ocean.

Disregarding those quarter to quarter oscillations, according to Levitus (2012) «The heat content of the World Ocean for the 0 — 2000 m layer increased by 24.0 + / - 1.9 x 10 ^ 22 J corresponding to a rate of 0.39 W / m ² (per unit area of the World Ocean) and a volume mean warming of 0.09 deg C» and «The heat content of the World Ocean for the 0 — 700 m layer increased by 16.7 + / - 1.6 x 10 ^ 22 J corresponding to a rate of 0.27 W m ^ 2 (per unit area of the World Ocean) and a volume mean warming of 0.18 deg C.»

From an earlier article by Bob Tisdale: «That obviously means that about 48 % of the ocean volume is above 2000 meters.»

One could choose to look at the global mean sea level instead, which does have a physical meaning because it represents an estimate for the volume of the water in the oceans, but the choice is not crucial as long as the indicator used really responds to the conditions under investigation.

This number is subtracted from altimetry - derived global mean sea level in order to obtain the contribution due to ocean (water) volume change.
