Sentences with phrase «oceanic cycles»

The bottom line is that the body of scientific research suggests that the current slowed surface warming is mainly due to natural oceanic cycles, and thus is only a temporary effect.

It's a natural consequence of oceanic cycles but, scientists warn, global warming as a consequence of human action can also make such droughts more severe.

Seasonal weather fluctuations also depend on factors such as proximity to oceans or other large bodies of water, currents in those oceans, El Nino / ENSO and other oceanic cycles, and prevailing winds.

Several factors can have a large impact on short - term temperatures, such as oceanic cycles like the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) or the 11 - year solar cycle.

There are also a number of effects which can have a large impact on short - term temperatures, such as oceanic cycles like the El Niño Southern Oscillation or the 11 - year solar cycle.

Climate contrarian geologist Don Easterbook has been predicting impending global cooling since 2000, based on expected changes in various oceanic cycles (including ENSO) and solar activity.

My own opinion is an internal oceanic cycling independent of the ENSO / PDO mechanism.

In 2009 alone, Michaels said that the observed warming is below what computer models predicted, that natural variations in oceanic cycles such as El Niño explain most of the warming, and that human activity explains most of the warming but it's nothing to worry about because technology will save us (cached copy, as the original was taken down).

Using mathematical models, Van Houtan and Halley found a strong correlation between the nest counts in a given year and the state of the long - term oceanic cycles some 3 decades earlier.

They say that their research shows that much of the warming was caused by oceanic cycles when they were in a â $ ˜warm modeâ $ ™ as opposed to the present â $ ˜cold modeâ $ ™.

The increase in confidence comes because, firstly, at time extends to 60 years the potential role of oceanic cycles minimizes; and as we continue through the very low activity of the current solar cycle, the potential that it was the Sun further minimizes.

Nicola Scafetta recently published a paper showing the ~ 60 yr oceanic cycles affect the rise rate, and the positive phase was 1975 - 2005.

A complete planetary oceanic cycle involving all the separate ocean cycles would take longer and it seems that all the ocean cycles act out of phase for most of the time and so further complicate the issue.

Could such an independent internal oceanic cycling even cause the ENSO / PDO cycles with the effect on the Trade Winds being caused by global ocean / atmosphere changes rather than vice versa such that the effect on the Pacific warm pool is a regional consequence of more subtle global changes involving all the oceans combined?

``... study shows that both solar activity fluctuations and internal oceanic cycles played crucial roles on Southern Brazilian climate during the last 100 years and continue to play a role today.

It seems to the writer that spreading global oceanic cycles of up to 30 years in length across 3 solar cycles results in a close enough match to fit temperature observations over the past few hundred years and especially since 1961.

I can not comment with any authority on the credibility of his methodology but, if correct, then we have two major oceanic cycles forcing SSTs in the Northern Hemisphere at least which themselves appear to be forced by increased solar activity over most of that period.

Temperatures may be rising more slowly than expected because of two natural oceanic cycles − the latest refutation of the global warming «pause».

In short, Swanson and Tsonis hypothesized that when various natural oceanic cycles (PDO, AMO, etc.) synchronize (i.e. in their positive or negative phases), they can cause a short - term warming or cooling which could be described as a «climate regime shift.»

It will be hard to identify because, as I have mentioned in my other articles, the filtering of the solar signal through the various oceanic cycles is neither rapid nor straightforward.

Several factors can have a large impact on short - term temperatures, such as oceanic cycles like the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) or the 11 - year solar cycle.

Change in trend caused by chances in oceanic cycle and volcanic forcing, total human forcings linear in this period (1910 - 1970) change in GHG increase and aerosols cancels out.

OT, Fukushima radioactive tracers might be used to measure the true lenghts of oceanic cycles, I guess there are enough longlived isotopes released to find them on random measurements around the globe.

But a new study suggests that our transgressions are peanuts compared to natural oceanic cycles, at least for loggerheads.

Van Houtan and Halley think the two oceanic cycles — the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) and the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO)-- can make or break a young turtle's survival; favorable cycles bring food and good weather, for example.

Other studies have linked these oceanic cycles with earlier snowmelts and warmer winters in California since the 1940s, and with a decline in California's coastal fog since the early 20th century.

In 2009, Syun - Ichi Akasofu (geophysicist and director of the International Arctic Research Center at the University of Alaska - Fairbanks) released a paper which argued that the recent global warming is due to two factors: natural recovery from the Little Ice Age (LIA), and «the multi-decadal oscillation» (oceanic cycles).

In fact that point of transition will itself vary over time depending on whether, at any given moment, the oceanic cycles are working against or in support of the TSI changes.

Media in typhoon - prone Japan ignore new important findings suggesting hurricanes and typhoon intensification speed depends mostly on natural oceanic cycles, and not related to atmospheric CO2.

There's also solar activity, human particulate emissions, other oceanic cycles, etc..

In particular that could provide a plausible connection to the longer term climate and oceanic cycling that I have referred to.

At present they are limited to guesses about ENSO but have nothing adequate about any other oceanic cycles and nothing about air circulation shifts apart from seasonal changes and a simple observation that warming moves them poleward.
