Sentences with phrase «predict ocean conditions»

I can see that predicting ocean conditions is a really complex science, and definately not an exact science.

Not exact matches

When Saildrone can connect all of its data points, it will be able to predict natural disasters, provide real - time weather conditions on the ocean, and manage fishing areas and shipping lanes.

The researchers tested oysters for two months under varying water temperature and pH conditions, including those predicted for oceans in 2100.

So far, these early results showed that physical conditions where the air and the ocean interact must be a vital part of any successful hurricane forecasting model and would help explain, and predict, how a storm might intensify as it moves through across the water based on the physical stress at the ocean's surface.

The results highlight how the interaction between ocean conditions and the bedrock beneath a glacier can influence the frozen mass, helping scientists better predict future Antarctica ice loss and global sea level rise.

«Our model predicts that if we don't do anything, within a few centuries we will produce ocean conditions that will prevent coral reefs from existing.»

But then the team filled the aquarium with water at a lower pH, creating conditions similar to what scientists predict for oceans around the year 2050.

Get your seaweed while you can - we can not predict the future of the ocean's conditions!

Type 4 dynamic downscaling takes lateral boundary conditions from an Earth system model in which coupled interactions among the atmosphere, ocean, biosphere, and cryosphere are predicted [e.g., Solomon et al., 2007].

«The extreme winter of 2013/14 is in line with historical trends in wave conditions and is also predicted to increasingly occur due to climate change, according to some of the climate models, with the winter of 2015/16 also set to be among the stormiest of the past 70 years,» says Tim Scott, a lecturer in ocean exploration at Plymouth University, and a co-author of the study.

report that ocean sediment cores containing an «undisturbed history of the past» have been analyzed for variations in PP over timescales that include the Little Ice Age... they determined that during the LIA the ocean off Peru had «low PP, diatoms and fish,» but that «at the end of the LIA, this condition changed abruptly to the low subsurface oxygen, eutrophic upwelling ecosystem that today produces more fish than any region of the world's oceans... write that «in coastal environments, PP, diatoms and fish and their associated predators are predicted to decrease and the microbial food web to increase under global warming scenarios,» citing Ito et al..

A smaller multiyear ice area in the Arctic Ocean means that the sea ice summer extent is more sensitive to weather conditions during summer and thus more difficult to predict using statistical regression analysis since seasonal weather forecasts are not reliable.

One approach to this problem is «downscaling,» a procedure in which climate changes in large - scale atmosphere and ocean conditions predicted by a global model are used as input to a fine - scale regional model that does resolve tropical cyclones.

Scientists predict that a warming Indian Ocean will create drought conditions in Kenya and Ethiopia.

The models predict that half of the oceans remain ice - free even under these extreme conditions.

However, the conditions predicted for the open ocean may not reflect the future conditions in the coastal zone, where many of these organisms live (Hendriks et al. 2010a, b; Hofmann et al. 2011; Kelly and Hofmann 2012), and results derived from changes in pH in coastal ecosystems often include processes other than OA, such as emissions from volcanic vents, eutrophication, upwelling and long - term changes in the geological cycle of CO2, which commonly involve simultaneous changes in other key factors affecting the performance of calcifiers, thereby confounding the response expected from OA by anthropogenic CO2 alone.

Now researchers from NOAA Fisheries, Oregon State University and the University of Maryland have combined that trove of tracking data with satellite observations of ocean conditions to develop the first system for predicting locations of blue whales off the West Coast.
