Sentences with phrase «only ocean basin»

Freshening of the Arctic is so intense (McPhee et al. 2009) that the Arctic Ocean, progressively transformed into the Arctic Ocean Estuary (McClelland et al. 2012), is possibly the only ocean basin where OA by anthropogenic CO2 may not suffice to account for the observed and predicted pH and Ωaragonite trends.

The only ocean basin where the rise might be misinterpreted as being monotonous WAS the North Atlantic, but that has shown a significant drop since 2005.

I'm overdue for another SST model - data comparison, but looking at the most recent one, the only ocean basins that are «cooperating» with the models are the North Atlantic and the Arctic: http://bobtisdale.wordpress.com/2013/02/28/cmip5-model-data-comparison-satellite-era-sea-surface-temperature-anomalies/

Not exact matches

Examining the distribution patterns of microfossils, Shen's Harvard colleagues have discovered that the marine eukaryotic algae of 1.5 billion years ago occupied only the ocean shallows and not the deeper basins, indicating a smaller oxygen concentration in the atmosphere than exists today.

«We need to do more studies to be able to determine if this new species, which we are yet to name, only lives in the shallow waters of the western Mediterranean or if it is also found in other deep water basins in the eastern Mediterranean or Atlantic Ocean, for example,» highlights Conxita Àvila.

Amongst these seas only the East / Japan Sea has no outflow of intermediate and deep water (containing anthropogenic CO2) to an adjacent major basin; the others are known to be significant sources of intermediate and deep water to the open ocean.

«Unfortunately, the complete disappearance of the Atlantic gray whale is the only instance of a whale extinction from an ocean basin during the historical era,» said Dr. Howard Rosenbaum, director of the Wildlife Conservation Society's Ocean Giants Program and co-author of the socean basin during the historical era,» said Dr. Howard Rosenbaum, director of the Wildlife Conservation Society's Ocean Giants Program and co-author of the sOcean Giants Program and co-author of the study.

100 years of 0.5 W / m2 energy imbalance can only raise ocean basin temperature 0.2 C which can not raise air temperature more than 0.2 C. Temperature rise can be temporarily higher in the ocean's surface if energy is being added faster at the surface than it can diffuse downward to the ocean floor.

Ocean basin temperature, according to best Bedwetter Bandwagon estimate of energy imbalance at top of atmosphere, is only going to rise by 0.2 C over the next century.

In fact, I have already attempted that and my New Climate Model not only incorporates that «stadium» wave» as it works through the ocean basins but also places it within an overall climate change description.

The punchline, if you agree with Chief and Hansen, is that 0.5 W / m2 is only enough to warm the ocean basin 0.2 C in 100 years which hardly seems scary now does it?

Additionally, the Atlantic Ocean is the only basin in which there is an equatorward warm surface current (part of the Meridional Overturning Circulation) and this ultimately carries heat to the North Atlantic - where it sinks.

The only two ocean basins with major increases in OHC during the ARGO era are the South Atlantic and the Indian Oceans, while the North Atlantic, Arctic, and South Pacific Oceans show significant declines in OHC.

During this first part of the hiatus period, the heat deficit must be transferred to other ocean basins, mostly to the Pacific because it is the only other major ocean basin in the Northern Hemisphere, likely through the atmosphere.

Different approaches have been used to compute the mean rate of 20th century global mean sea level (GMSL) rise from the available tide gauge data: computing average rates from only very long, nearly continuous records; using more numerous but shorter records and filters to separate nonlinear trends from decadal - scale quasi-periodic variability; neural network methods; computing regional sea level for specific basins then averaging; or projecting tide gauge records onto empirical orthogonal functions (EOFs) computed from modern altimetry or EOFs from ocean models.

The Arctic Ocean sits in an almost enclosed basin with only one deep channel in and out called the East Greenland Rift (Figure 4).

This will only warm the entire ocean basin, if it's sustained at that level, by 0.2 C / century.

The deep oceans are all below 300K and 100 atmospheres is only 3000 feet — much less the the depth of the average ocean basins.

The South Atlantic is unique in that it is the only major ocean basin where heat is transported from the pole towards the equator.
