Sentences with phrase «reaching higher latitudes»

Elaborating on the 1842 suggestion of the French mathematician Joseph A. Adhémar, Milutin Milankovitch proposed during World War I that the sunlight reaching the higher latitudes controlled the ice ages (he did his laborious calculations as a prisoner of war), and that slow changes in the earth's orbit were important.

In this pattern, warm waters flow northward from the tropics, then cool and become saltier and denser as they reach higher latitudes.

Warm and saline water transported poleward cools at the surface when it reaches high latitudes and becomes denser and subsequently sinks into the deep ocean.

Not exact matches

The water concentration reaches a maximum average of around 500 to 750 parts per million in the higher latitudes.

While microbe and vector movement can be difficult to detect, modeling suggests that global warming will expand the reach of malaria to higher latitudes and into tropical mountain regions.

«At the higher latitudes of Great Britain, Scandinavia and the Baltic States, as well as Northern Germany and France, very little UVB light reaches the Earth, and it's the key wavelength required by the skin for vitamin D generation,» Elias said.

The warming at sea level is expected to reach 3 degrees Celsius by the year 2100, and possibly double that, or 6 degrees Celsius, at the highest mountain peaks in the low latitudes.

Professor Chronis Tzedakis (UCL Geography) said: «The basic idea is that there is a threshold for the amount of energy reaching high northern latitudes in summer.

As the warm water reaches high North Atlantic latitudes, it gives up heat and moisture to the atmosphere, leaving cold, salty, dense water that sinks to the ocean floor.

Furthermore, it can be seen that due to the lower incidence angle of the solar radiation at lower latitudes, TEC at 35 ° N is principally higher than TEC at 65 ° N. Differences between both latitudes are always positive at day - time and reach up to 20 TECU while following the solar cycle dynamics.

During disturbed conditions, it is still relatively small (10 — 13 %) for predictions provided 1 h ahead and may reach 20 % and 30 % at middle - to - low and middle - to - high latitudes, respectively, for high ionospheric activity level and predictions provided 24 h ahead.

It has been suggested that higher latitudes — Siberia, for example — may become productive due to global warming, but the soil in Arctic and bordering territories is very poor, and the amount of sunlight reaching the ground in summer will not change because it is governed by the tilt of the earth.

As the warm water reaches high North Atlantic latitudes, it gives up heat and moisture to the atmosphere, leaving cold, salty, dense water that sinks to the ocean floor.
