Sentences with phrase «oceans release»

Funny how a warming ocean releases CO2 and more ends up in the atmosphere.

In the case of warming, the lag between temperature and CO2 is explained as follows: as ocean temperatures rise, oceans release CO2 into the atmosphere.

Findings include a discovery that surface waters in the open Arctic Ocean release heat - trapping methane gas into the atmosphere at a «significant» rate

Compared to the atmospheric oxygen content of about 21 % this decrease is very small and has no impact on health; however, it provides independent evidence that the rise in CO2 must be due to an oxidation process, that is, fossil fuel combustion and / or organic carbon oxidation, and is not caused by volcanic emissions or a warming ocean releasing carbon dioxide (CO2 is less soluble in warm water than cold).

I for one am more excited for this new Star Ocean release than for any other Final Fantasy other than perhaps the remake of VII.

For the first time, researchers have shown that cultured picocyanobacteria, Synechococcus and Prochlorococcus, found in the open ocean release fluorescent components that closely match these typical fluorescent signals found in oceanic environments.

The lighter petroleum that spilled has never before been released in such massive quantities in the ocean

Release of methane hydrates has previously been suggested as a mechanism to drive runaway greenhouse events, as warming oceans releases trapped methane that causes further warming and releases more methane.

Paradoxically, both phenomena are likely linked: When sea - ice North of Scandinavia and Russia melts, the uncovered ocean releases more warmth into the atmosphere and this can impact the atmosphere up to about 30 kilometers height in the stratosphere disturbing the polar vortex.

Last weekend, in conjunction with his new album, Blonde, musician and noted cinephile Frank Ocean released a limited - edition zine titled Boys Don't Cry, which featured a list of his favorite films.

El Niño is still growing and doesn't look to be slowing down, according to new satellite images of the Pacific Ocean released last week by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Ocean released Blonde independently through Apple Music, after his visual album Endless had already satisfied his contractual obligations with his label, UMG.

With warm oceans releasing more water vapour, we saw floods of biblical proportions hit the agricultural regions of Queensland, killing 22 people and impacting an area larger than France and Germany.

The above also is true for the opposite effect: if there were no other fast releases (like lots of volcanoes spewing lots of CO2 in short time), the ocean temperature will give more or less CO2, until a new dynamic equilibrium between ocean releases (mainly near the tropics) and sinks (mainly near the poles) and the biosphere releases and sinks is reached.

-- Warmer oceans release co2 into the atmosphere, raising its concentration in the air.

In the late autumn and early winter, when sea ice is at a minimum and temperatures begin to cool, the ocean releases that extra heat and moisture back into the atmosphere.

At higher temperatures, less of the gas is absorbed, and the ocean releases more carbon dioxide into the air, contributing to a runaway greenhouse effect.

Come enjoy pure relaxation in Mexico as the sounds of the ocean release all your stresses.

The immediate cause of the record - breaking warmth is a strong El Niño weather pattern, in which the ocean releases immense amounts of heat into the atmosphere.

You do know the oceans release heat daily, weekly, seasonally, and in various oscillations and cycles, etc..

If the oceans release energy to the atmosphere, that doesn't fix the long - term imbalance.

During El Niño the ocean releases heat, during La Niña it stores more heat.

In addition there is The Hot Water Bottle Effect whereby the oceans release stored heat intermittently at variable rates depending on the average state of the various oceanic oscillations at any particular time.

It is proposed by Realclimate that the extra down welling infrared radiation warms up that top single millimetre layer (they call it the ocean «skin») a tiny bit and apparently that is enough to disrupt the worldwide flow of heat energy from ocean to air to space with the result that the oceans release incoming solar energy more slowly so that heat builds up in the oceans.

The oceans release stored heat intermittently at variable rates depending on the average state of the various global oceanic oscillations at any particular time.

How can the atmosphere control the climate via its CO2 content when the oceans contain 15 times more of it and CO2 is more soluble in cold water than warm water (the oceans release CO2 to atmosphere when they warm for whatever reason).

Not only that, but the slight cooling of the oceans from step1, results in the oceans being able to absorb more CO2, since CO2 absorption in the oceans is dependant on ocean temperature (when temperatures go up, oceans release CO2, when temps go down, oceans absorb CO2).

The volume and intensity of cold polar air is dependent on the level of solar energy received into the Earth system and the rate at which the oceans release absorbed solar energy to the air.

The oceans release carbon dioxide, more water evaporates, humidity changes, sea - levels rise, and all of those consequent changes further affect temperatures.

When the oceans release energy faster the air warms, the equatorial air masses expand, the weather systems shift poleward, energy is expelled faster to space and a new equilibrium is set until the energy flow from the oceans slows down again when the process reverses.
