Sentences with phrase «oceanic variability»

Given these and other misrepresentations of natural oceanic variability on decadal scales (e.g., Zhang and McPhaden 2006), a role for natural causes of at least some of the recent oceanic warming should not be ruled out.»

Global linkages originating from decadal oceanic variability in the subpolar North Atlantic (Geophysical Research Letters)

Decadal oceanic variability in the subpolar North Atlantic is an essential aspect of the tropical interactions between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.

The mechanism by which the effect of oceanic variability over time is transferred to the atmosphere involves evaporation, conduction, convection, clouds and rainfall the significance of which has to date been almost entirely ignored due to the absence of the necessary data especially as regards the effect of cloudiness changes on global albedo and thus the amount of solar energy able to enter the oceans.

An assessment of oceanic variability for 1960 — 2010 from the GFDL ensemble coupled data assimilation.

Since 2009, US CLIVAR has collaborated with the OCB Program, whose mission is to study the impact of oceanic variability in the global carbon cycle in the face of environmental variability and change.

Climate models provide a means to derive such a link, under the assumption that the current generation of climate models captures the essence of the signature of oceanic variability on the global mean temperature.

The paper... offers a useful framework for which decadal variations in the global (or northern hemisphere) may be explained via large scale modes of oceanic variability.

Remote sensing has been a routine method to monitor storms and oceanic variability, but technological limitations inhibit some satellite sensors from fully observing the ocean and atmosphere in storm conditions.

It is becoming increasingly clear that even if everything else I suggest is wrong we would still not be able to identify the tiny climate effect of our emissions as compared to that from solar and oceanic variability.

It is interesting that the North Atlantic does not play a more important role in this largest - trend case, since it does dominate the oceanic variability on somewhat shorter ~ 20 year time scales in this model.

These results contradict the notion that oceanic variability is mostly baroclinic at interannual periods, regardless of location or spatial scale.

The difference would be imperceptible amongst the normal climate chaos and the much larger changes caused by solar and oceanic variability.

iv) The change in surface pressure distribution to dispose of the effects of more CO2 would be unmeasurable and unnoticeable compared to the observed historical shifts from solar and oceanic variability.

The validity of the suggestion of that third 500 year level of oceanic variability is provided by the observation that during the LIA the ITCZ was at the equator.

Changes in the air circulation introduce variability at the air / space interface which help to prevent the destabilisation that would otherwise be caused by that oceanic variability.
