Sentences with phrase «oceanic heat loss»
Thus as sea ice expands in a cooler climate, the high - latitude oceanic heat loss to the atmosphere is inhibited, the thermohaline circulation weakens, and the sinking regions move equatorward, leading to a shallower and weaker deep circulation.

The oceanic heat loss depends of course on the sea surface temperature (SST).

With a dominant internal component having the structure of the observed warming, and with radiative restoring strong enough to keep the forced component small, how can one keep the very strong radiative restoring from producing heat loss from the oceans totally inconsistent with any measures of changes in oceanic heat content?

Current events surrounding increased oceanic heat around ice sheet margins in Antarctic are expected to play a dynamical role in marine terminating glacial ice loss acceleration there as well.
Science Deliverable III From Deliverables I - II, predictions of (1) accelerating oceanic heating, (2) accelerating ice - mass loss, (3) accelerating incidence of extraordinary heat and drought, (4) accelerating sea - level rise - rate.
I suspect that the number being used is a lower - bound for the amount of heat released by the oceanic crust because it represents the typical surface heat loss of the great slabs of relatively cool basalt and gabbro.
