Sentences with phrase «poleward movement»

Widening of the tropics would also probably be associated with poleward movement of major extratropical climate zones due to changes in the position of jet streams, storm tracks, mean position of high and low pressure systems, and associated precipitation regimes.

Breaking from the general poleward movement of many species, flowering trees take an unexpected turn

As I have documented before Parmesan has «inaccurately» blamed CO2 warming for extinctions due to lost habitat from urban sprawl, hijacked conservation success to argue poleward movement of butterflies was caused by climate change, and blamed CO2 and extreme weather for a population extinction caused by logging while neighboring natural populations thrived.

The Hadley cell shows a clear signal of poleward expansion, while poleward movement is present but less clear in the jet stream and mid-latitude storm tracks.

This is broadly consistent with climate model simulations of future climate warming, which predict significant poleward movement of all the major circulation features.

Poleward movement of zone boundaries — This must be the Hadley cells each side of the ITCZ (almost on the equator).

While there are regional differences in the poleward movement of cyclones, the fact that every ocean basin other than the northern Indian Ocean has experienced this change leads the researchers to suggest, in the paper, that this «migration away from the tropics is a global phenomenon.»

Poleward movement of the jet streams (Archer 2008, Seidel 2007, Fu 2006) 20.

The circulation pattern described above — ascent in the equatorial trough, poleward movement in the upper troposphere, descent in the subtropical ridges, and equatorward movement in the trade winds — is in effect a direct heat engine, which meteorologists call the Hadley cell.

In the northern hemisphere, the poleward movement of the high clouds opens up a «cloud curtain» that lets more sunlight into the ocean surface, thus producing warming at the surface.

The poleward movement of the air in the upper part of the troposphere deviates toward the east, caused by the coriolis acceleration (a manifestation of conservation of angular momentum).
