On both satellite images, particularly warm surface waters are illustrated in red and white, while normal ocean conditions are illustrated in green.

Not exact matches

If you're making this galette on a particularly warm day, try to keep the equipment and dough cool otherwise the dough will stick like crazy to the rolling pin and work surface.

In late 2010 and early 2011, the continent Down Under received about twice its normal complement of rain, thanks in large part to unusually warm sea - surface temperatures just north of Australia and a particularly strong La Niña — in essence, combining a source of warm humid air with the weather patterns that steered the moisture over the continent where it condensed and fell as precipitation.

Consistent with observed changes in surface temperature, there has been an almost worldwide reduction in glacier and small ice cap (not including Antarctica and Greenland) mass and extent in the 20th century; snow cover has decreased in many regions of the Northern Hemisphere; sea ice extents have decreased in the Arctic, particularly in spring and summer (Chapter 4); the oceans are warming; and sea level is rising (Chapter 5).

Species with larvae that are likely to be particularly exposed to sea surface warming (i.e., obligatory broadcast spawners and / or brooders) were regarded as having lower tolerance to warming, and we used evidence of past mass high temperature mortality as a proxy for measuring adult colonies» tolerances.

For these reasons, the ability to fix electrodes securely is very important, particularly when testing in very warm environments where sweat can cause the sticky surfaces to lose their ability to adhere to the skin.

If you're making this galette on a particularly warm day, try to keep the equipment and dough cool otherwise the dough will stick like crazy to the rolling pin and work surface.

You can expect a clear, warm sound that makes it particularly impressive when watching movies on the Surface.

Snorkeling is possible in almost any body of water, but snorkelers are most likely to be found in locations where there are minimal waves, warm water, and something particularly interesting to see near the surface — exactly like the Cayman Islands!

Note also that the global warming trend has not been terribly strong over the last decade, so inferring a negative feedback to surface temperature change is a bit odd to me, particularly when the feedback would have to be very sensitive.

The author's points on non-linearity and time delays are actually more relevant to the discussion in other presentations when I talked about whether the climate models that show high future sensitivities to CO2 are consistent with past history, particularly if warming in the surface temperature record is exaggerated by urban biases.

Warmer surface temperatures also tend to occur during particularly active parts of the solar cycle, known as solar maximums, while slightly cooler temperatures occur during lulls in activity, called minimums.

In the Northern Hemisphere, the surface warming increases with increasing latitude, and is particularly large in the Arctic Ocean.

In that event, in the past 15 years global warming at the Earth's surface has continued at the not particularly alarming rate of 0.116 K per decade.

According to McLean and Foster, this predominance of warm surface waters in the Pacific has heated the Earth, particularly in the NH, and generated a rather abrupt upturn in global warming after 1976.

The slowed surface warming is due in large part to changes in ocean cycles, particularly in the Pacific Ocean, causing more efficient ocean heat uptake, thus leaving less heat to warm surface temperatures.

While the warming of global surface temperatures has slowed somewhat, that appears to primarily be due to changing ocean cycles, particularly in the Pacific.

The particularly rapid sea ice loss from 1997 to 2007 was related to extreme ocean conditions that drove a sustained warming of the surface waters throughout the subpolar Atlantic and Nordic Seas.

What is it that makes it hard for yourself to understand that the adiabatic lapse rate determines how much warmer the surface is than the mean temperature of the Earth - plus - atmosphere system, which is not particularly close to 255K by the way, but would be found somewhere in the troposphere, stratosphere or mesosphere.

Because lapse rate (particularly in the tropics) should decrease under warming conditions (this is actually the most important negative feedback), the troposphere should warm faster than the surface.

This will be worst when such a surface is very close to the enclosure, particularly beneath it, generating rising warmer air into the box.

«The team emphasized that clouds are particularly sensitive to subtle differences in surface warming patterns, and researchers must carefully account for such pattern effects when making inferences about cloud feedback and climate sensitivity from observations over short time periods.»

Forecasters are increasingly confident in a particularly big El Niño this time around because, deep below the Pacific Ocean's surface, off - the - charts warm water is lurking:

This tends to lead to ocean cooling in the early section of the realisations, which probably didn't happen in reality, and a consequent damping of surface temperature warming, particularly up to about 1950.

Globally averaged near surface temperatures have increased since the beginning of the 20th century and the warming has been particularly marked since the 1970s.

[Response: Particularly amusing nonsense, since Jim has been pointing out the importance of black carbon deposition (which replaces the normally highly reflective snow surface with highly absorbing particulates, thus enhancing surface warming) on Arctic warming for a number of years.

Delworth and Knutson (2000) find that one in five of their anthropogenic climate change simulations showed a similar evolution of global mean surface temperature over the 20th century to that observed, with strong warming, particularly in the high latitude North Atlantic, in the first half of the century.

Based on discussions with my colleagues Rong Zhang and Mike Winton, this seems to be a consequence of an AMOC (Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation) which builds in strength when the aerosol cooling is strong, trying to balance a part of the cooling at the surface with warm waters advected in from the tropics, but also — by a process that is not particularly straightforward — cools the subsurface waters.
