Sentences with phrase «of storminess»

«Perhaps this little period of storminess actually prevented us from getting a new record this year,» Screen said.

However, this is essentially due to large scale dust storms that were common back then, compared to a lower level of storminess now.

(The Pacific and Atlantic often have opposite patterns of storminess and, sure enough, the forecast in the eastern Pacific is for a below - normal season.)

It is often said that global warming will result in greater extremes of storminess but that is in my opinion fear mongering nonsense.

I feel like a bad blogger for posting these — especially the macro — but as I write this, another bout of storminess is rolling through, and I know I did the right thing.

This is an excerpt from «Millennial - scale storminess variability in the northeastern United States during the Holocene epoch,» the 2002 paper using lake - bed sediment cores from around the Northeast to generate a Holocene history of storminess:

Periods of higher storm activity are recorded from > 680 to 560 cal yr BC (SP10, end of the Iron Age Cold Period), from 140 to 820 cal yr AD (SP7 to SP5) with a climax of storminess between 400 and 800 cal yr AD (Dark Ages Cold Period), and from 1230 to > 1800 cal yr AD (SP3 to SP1, Little Ice Age).

However understanding the significance of such a change is difficult because the natural variability of storminess beyond the range of instrumental data is poorly known.

Here we present a decadal - resolution record of storminess covering the Late Holocene, based on a 4 - m - long core taken from the peat bog of Cors Fochno in mid-Wales, UK.

About four out of five major hurricanes — those with winds of at least 111 mph — start out similarly: They form off the African coast as unstable waves or patches of storminess.

They found no long - term trend during the last 100 years, but a clear rise since a minimum of storminess in the 1960s, which is consistent with the rise in extreme geostrophic wind found by Jones et al. (1999c).

Local winds surrounding the resort are variable throughout most of the year but occasionally go through intermittent periods of storminess, called «Badai's».

The patterns of storminess are inferred from aeolian sand deposits within two ombrotrophic peat bogs, with multiple cores and two locations used to distinguish the storminess signal from intra-site variability and local factors.

What matters in the creation of extremes of storminess is temperature differential not absolute temperature or amount of water vapour being carried by the air (warmer air can carry more water vapour).

The same level of storminess is causing more damage because there's more people and more infrastructure.

Francis was the first to weigh in, on the sea ice connection and the questions raised by the 2002 paper on past periods of storminess:

Climate variability associated with the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) determines many physical coastal processes in Europe (Hurrell et al., 2003, 2004), including variations in the seasonality of coastal climates, winter wind speeds and patterns of storminess and coastal flooding in north - west Europe (Lozano et al., 2004; Stone and Orford, 2004; Yan et al., 2004).

So, extremes of storminess are not a useful indicator either way.

Although he says the AMO doesn't explain all of the cyclical nature of hurricanes in the Atlantic, Landsea still thinks the Americas will continue to experience active and inactive periods of storminess.
