Sentences with phrase «quickly than the oceans»

And given the fact that land warms more quickly than ocean, resulting in areas of low pressure over land, changing patterns of atmospheric and oceanic circulation are bringing them to the coasts — where so much life's diversity is found.

Re: # 8 Wayne Davidson: I always understood that the Southern Hemisphere was tending to wamr more slowly than the Northern Hemisphere simply because the NH has more land than the SH and the land is warming up more quickly than the oceans.

The tendency for land averages to increase more quickly than ocean averages is clearly visible.

There are periods when the ocean heats up more quickly than the surface, and other periods when the surface heats up more quickly than the oceans.

Not exact matches

If the melt erupts quickly, it forms basalt, which makes up the crust beneath the oceans on Earth; but there are still questions about how continental crust, which is more buoyant than oceanic crust, is formed.

Research published Sunday concluded that the upper 2,300 feet of the Southern Hemisphere's oceans may have warmed twice as quickly after 1970 than had previously been thought.

Tests of some fish species, which can race across the ocean more quickly than slow - moving currents, have shown higher levels of radiation, although radiation levels in sea life off the U.S. shore are still safe, Buesseler said.

That quickly melts the following summer, leaving the ocean barer and bluer than before.

«If protective ice shelves were suddenly lost in the vast areas around the Antarctic margin where reverse - sloping bedrock (where the bed on which the ice sheet sits deepens toward the continental interior, rather than toward the ocean) is more than 1,000 meters deep, exposed grounding line ice cliffs would quickly succumb to structural failure as is happening in the few places where such conditions exist today,» the researchers point out.

«This is because the coastal ocean is shallower than the open ocean and can quickly transfer sequestered carbon dioxide to the deep ocean; this process creates an additional and effective pathway for the ocean to take up and store anthropogenic carbon dioxide,» said Cai, the Mary A.S. Lighthipe Professor in the College of Earth, Ocean, and Environocean is shallower than the open ocean and can quickly transfer sequestered carbon dioxide to the deep ocean; this process creates an additional and effective pathway for the ocean to take up and store anthropogenic carbon dioxide,» said Cai, the Mary A.S.

It seems that the oceans have absorbed much heat over the summer but have relased it into the atmosphere which has caused the ocean to freeze quickly and oddly even though the atmosphere is warmer than usual.

High ocean temperatures during winter months then likely accelerated sea - louse development, enabling populations to grow quickly and reach higher numbers than they would under normal ocean temperatures.

Exxon budgeted more than $ 1 million over three years for the tanker project to measure how quickly the oceans were taking in CO2.

Together these measurements can be used to assess ocean acidification more quickly and over much larger areas than has been possible before.

And shouldn't the relative T - difference even increase in the future as shallower coastal waters heat up more quickly than deeper ocean water (except probably in upwelling areas)?

It seems that the oceans have absorbed much heat over the summer but have relased it into the atmosphere which has caused the ocean to freeze quickly and oddly even though the atmosphere is warmer than usual.

The gas has a long residence time in the atmosphere so that it builds as long as more is added than comes out through absorption in the ocean or ecosystems (unlike most other emissions from burning fossil fuels, forests, and the like, which dissipate quickly.)

In terms of the gold that a climate science denier might find in the paper, at the very least, they could argue that the fact that the troposphere isn't warming more quickly than the surface shows that the climate models are unreliable — even though the models predict just the pattern of warming that we see — with the troposphere warming more quickly than the surface over the ocean but less quickly than the surface over land.

Ocean waters around Antarctica have warmed steadily for the past 50 years, but in addition to that, the region's shallow seas are also heating up, more quickly than others.

Despite the fact that the film delineates a few impacts of an Earth - wide temperature boost anticipated by researchers, for example climbing ocean levels, more dangerous storms, and disturbance of sea ebbs and flows and climate designs, it portrays these occasions incident a great deal more quickly and intensely than is recognized logically possible, and the hypothesis that a superstorm will make quick worldwide environmental change does not show up in the investigative writing.

@cd: The ocean can release heat much more quickly than they can regain heat.

The ocean can release heat much more quickly than they can regain heat.

The oceans are huge, there is a lot of plant mass which reproduces quickly, is short - lived, and may be growing because of warming and CO2 (and keeping upper ocean CO2 lower than equilibrium with the increased atmospheric concentration).

The land responds to the same forcing more quickly than the deeper ocean, so it makes sense that the land leads when they have common forcing, e.g. aerosols and solar.

That implies that land use CO2 sink enhancement might have a much greater impact on reducing atmospheric and ocean CO2 more quickly than radical scared out your knickers, economically damaging mitigation at all cost ala Greg the idiot Craven.

Changes in near - coastal circulation or biochemistry seem to be altering surface ocean pH more quickly than can be explained by an equilibrium response to the rising atmospheric CO2 concentration (Wootton and Pfister, 2012).

Re my suggestion of a step change, I was indeed thinking of an ocean circulation organization happening fairly quickly, potentially faster than ice sheet melt, and nothing like millions of years.

If it can be shown that a change in DSR puts more energy into the bulk ocean than a similar change in DLR then this implys that DLR is returned more quickly to space and therefore the earth's heat content sensitivity would be less for DLR than DSR.

The variations are stronger because of the northern hemisphere's larger fraction of land, which has a lower heat capacity than the ocean and thus responds more quickly to variations.
