Sentences with phrase «of slab ocean»

Not exact matches

When slabs of Earth's crust sink into the mantle layer below, they drag ocean water with them.

Here, a slab of the Pacific Ocean floor called the Juan de Fuca plate slides eastward and downward, «subducting» underneath the continental plate of North America.

The researchers then used the model to investigate how slabs of ocean crust would behave as they travel down toward the lower mantle.

Sinking slabs of ocean crust and rising plumes of hot rock in Earth's mantle are observed to behave differently below one megameter (1,000 kilometers) depth.

Using supercomputers, the researchers found that this dense piece of ocean floor material (called a lithospheric slab) is slowly sinking into the Earth's mantle and is responsible for the formation of the Lake Eyre Basin, one of the Earth's largest internally drained basins and home to the lowest point in Australia at 15m below sea level, as well as the Murray - Darling Basin, home to the largest river system in Australia.

The ice stretches over these sticking points twice per day as the tide lifts up and sets down the Ross Ice Shelf, a 1,100 - foot - thick slab of ice the size of Spain that hangs over the ocean several hundred miles away.

Surprise find The team's actual mission was to survey ocean currents near the Ross Ice Shelf, a slab of ice extending more than 600 miles (970 kilometers) northward from the grounding zone of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet into the Ross Sea, to model the behavior of a drill string, a length of pipe extending to the seafloor which delivers drilling fluids and retrieves sediment samples.

Slabs continued to calve and break up throughout the next 10 days; by March 8 the Wilkins ice shelf, comprising some 5,000 square miles of floating ice off the coast of the Antarctic Peninsula, had lost 160 square miles of ice to the Pacific Ocean.

Lead author of the study, Dr Caroline Eakin, Research Fellow in Ocean and Earth Science at the University of Southampton, said: «The process of consuming old seafloor at subduction zones, where great slabs of oceanic material are swallowed up, drives circulation in the Earth's interior and keeps the planet going strong.

Submarine volcanoes generate the solid underpinnings of all the world's oceans massive slabs of rock seven kilometers thick.

Current projections of global sea level rise do not account for the complicated behavior of these giant ice slabs as they interact with the atmosphere, the ocean and the land.

The mean and median of the equilibrium land - ocean warming contrast (using a slab ocean) in the GCMs considered is ~ 1.3 (with a spread of about 1.2 - 1.5).

Improvements include the addition of Sub-Zero and Wolf kitchen appliances surrounded by slab granite counter tops, and open walls to view the ocean and spacious surroundings.

I then applied a 1 watt / sq meter forcing to a 10 meter thick slab of ocean and he atmosphere above to get a warming of 0.6 C per year.

A — I think they call it a «swamp ocean», or maybe a slab ocean — heat capacity may be modelled (I won't write it in computer code exactly; T is temperature, ECS is equlibrium climate sensitivity here expressed as K per doubling of CO2, y = year number):

While there are some similarities between the approaches, an important difference is that the slab - ocean approach allows surface and MBL temperatures to adjust to the energetic perturbation: positive energetic forcing of the surface leads to warming, weakens the inversion, and reduces low - cloud cover and liquid water path (LWP).

I saw a poster a at a meeting last year that compared a simulation with prescribed SST to another with a slab ocean model (SOM) and the results were very striking, so I started thinking that I need to explore this type of modelling more.

CP rationalized doing so on the basis that cool runs (nearly 50 % of the control runs) were not realistic and reflected, e.g., the simple slab ocean in their model.

Of course, the simple slab ocean didn't obviate the hot runs they kept.

In general, the pattern of change in return values for 20 - year extreme temperature events from an equilibrium simulation for doubled CO2 with a global atmospheric model coupled to a non-dynamic slab ocean shows moderate increases over oceans and larger increases over land masses (Zwiers and Kharin, 1998; Figure 9.29).

You've got a 2 mile thick slab of ice sitting on a land mass that is tough for any outside energy from atmosphere (and certainly not ocean) to penetrate.

Some recent results with AGCMs coupled to slab ocean models (Hewitt et al., 2001; Vavrus and Harrison, 2003) support the hypothesis that a representation of sea ice dynamics in climate models has a moderating impact on climate sensitivity.

Left column is the name of ensembles, and in the second left column, «AOGCM» denotes atmosphere — ocean coupled GCM, and «ASGCM» denotes atmosphere - slab ocean coupled GCM.

I've discussed one aquaplanet study of TCs using a slab ocean, Merlis et al 2013, in post # 42.

The response of the ITCZ to extratropical thermal forcing: idealized slab - ocean experiments with a GCM.

These aquaplanet simulations are sometimes run with prescribed sea surface temperatures (SSTs) and sometimes with prescribed heat flux through the surface (usually realized by running the atmosphere over a «slab ocean» s saturated surface with some heat capacity, and specifying an «oceanic heat flux» into or out of the slab.

These giant slabs of ice, floating on the ocean while still attached to the continent, are called ice shelves.
