Sentences with phrase «reduced upwelling»

This change reduces the upwelling of cool subsurface water and cuts off the supply of nutrient - rich cold water upwelling from below.

(1) CO2 in the troposphere, by repeatedly absorbing and re-emitting IR, reduces upwelling IR to the stratosphere (over the wavelengths where stratospheric CO2 would absorb).

During an ENSO event, the prevailing trade winds weaken, reducing upwelling and altering ocean currents such that the sea surface temperatures warm, further weakening the trade winds.

When the trade winds falter — warm water piled high in the west surges eastward — ultimately increasing the depth of the thermocline on the eastern boundary and reducing upwelling.

By weakening of the Humboldt current; reducing its rate of flow reduces the upwelling at the eastern terminus of the coupled Walker circulation.

This reduces upwelling which has an effect on the fishing industry (offshore Peru catch is the greatest in tonnage worldwide).

Not exact matches

There's typically an initial ocean uptake as tropical East Pacific upwelling (CO2 degassing) is reduced, followed by a stronger release of carbon from land.

The first is to emphasize your point that degassing of CO2 from the oceans is not simply a matter of warmer water reducing CO2 solubility, and that important additional factors include changes in wind patterns, reduction in sea ice cover to reveal a larger surface for gas escape, and upwelling of CO2 from depths consequent to the changing climate patterns.

It is thought that the poor representation of ocean upwelling in current models has larger scale impacts reducing the accuracy of model projections on a global scale.

Cold upwelling is a redistribution of mass.It increases the available potential energy by reducing the kinetic energy ie there is a tithe.

The persistent upwelling of cold water in the eastern tropical Pacific would have reduced cloud cover there, via reduced oceanic evaporation, and thus allowed more of the sun's energy to enter the tropical ocean - this would have aided the ocean warming process, as generally the case when the tropical ocean is cooler - than - normal.

Even if the levels in the atmosphere stay the same, the refresh rate will reduce the 14C spike, because part of what is going in is low in 14C (deep ocean upwelling) or zero 14C (fossil fuels), while the sinks receive the higher 14C as is in the atmosphere.

So, the effect of the increase in downwelling flux, which, as Jim D states, only require an increase in CO2 concentration to occur, just is to * reduce * the net upwelling flux from the ocean surface.

The Pacific Ocean may be primed by reduced solar activity to more eastern ocean upwelling of cold and nutrient rich water burping carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere — and what energy there was in the western Pacific has dissipated off the eastern margin.

Upwelling creates areas of cold coastal surface waters that stabilize the lower troposphere and reduce the chances for convection.

When the colder upwelled water spreads across the surface as in the PDO cold phase, the warmer surface water area is reduced and the warm water gets deeper.

To be energy or more properly, heat transferred, the one - way upwelling radiation from the surface absorbed by the air should be reduced by subtraction of the down - welling radiation of the air absorbed by the surface Note that by subtraction of the (about 20 W / m ² in global average) flow surface to cosmos of both terms of GH, GH expression becomes GH = (radiation from the surface absorbed by the air) minus (outgoing longwave radiation from the air) which has absolutely no physical sense!

Incorporating new findings on the radiative forcing of black carbon (BC) aerosols, the magnitude of the climate sensitivity, and the strength of the climate / carbon cycle feedbacks into a simple upwelling diffusion / energy balance model similar to the one that was used in the TAR, we find that the range of projected warming for the 1990 - 2100 period is reduced to 1.1 - 2.8 °C.

Carbon dioxide absorbs upwelling long wave radiation and re-emits it back to the ground, thereby reducing the amount of heat that escapes to space, warming the planet.

When upwelling of colder water from deeper layers occurs, the heat content of the mixed layer is reduced.

During El Niño, this equatorial upwelling is suppressed in the eastern and the central Pacific Ocean, reducing the supply of CO2 to the surface.

Presumably if the deep ocean warms significantly, that could eventually reduce the level of surface cooling due to upwelling, since there would be less overall temperature change between the deep and the surface.

Decreases in both upwelling and formation of deep water and increased stratification of the upper ocean will reduce the input of essential nutrients into the sunlit regions of oceans and reduce productivity (Cox et al., 2000; Loukos et al., 2003; Lehodey et al., 2003; Sarmiento et al., 2004a).

Reduced equatorial cloud cover during La Nina (due to the cooler sea surface temperature), combined with the strong upwelling (Ekman suction) in the eastern equatorial Pacific, does indeed lead to greater warming of the ocean - because it's bringing cool subsurface water to the surface, where it can be heated by the sun.

A)- Cloud cover is reduced B)- Winds are reduced C)- Higher temperature water upwells D)- Upwelling is reduced or stopped E) Surface winds are reduced while winds aloft are strong enough to carry away humidity and prevent clouds and precipitation The occurences of el Nino seem to affect the global temperature even more than adjusting data or pretending tree rings are ancient thermometers.
