Sentences with phrase «related warmer sea surface»

It seems that the El Niño - related warmer sea surface temperatures in the eastern equatorial Pacific in late winter cause deep convection patterns to shift eastward.

Not exact matches

A study examined three different factors: warmer - than - usual surface atmosphere conditions (related to global warming); sea - ice thinning prior to the melting season (also related to global warming); and an August storm that passed over the Arctic, stirring up the ocean, fracturing the sea ice and sending it southward to warmer climes.

However, to support the assertion that global warming is responsible for a great deal of damage from such events, it is sufficient to show that such events have the «signature» of global warming — for example, that specific global warming - related factors such as abnormally high sea surface temperatures, elevated water vapor levels, and altered jet stream patterns contributed to making Hurricane Sandy what it was — even if those factors can not be precisely quantified.

The particularly rapid sea ice loss from 1997 to 2007 was related to extreme ocean conditions that drove a sustained warming of the surface waters throughout the subpolar Atlantic and Nordic Seas.

It could, of course be that the CO ₂ increase was related, but lagged behind the warming that might logically have been CAUSED by an increase in sea - surface area....

The land surface temperature is more sensitive to the oceans than the oceans are to the land surface temperature, which is related to the processes causing the land — sea contrast in global warming scenarios.

Soloman and her co-authors argue that El Niño has been one of the drivers of changes in stratospheric water vapor, noting that «The drop in stratospheric water vapor observed after 2001 has been correlated to sea surface temperature (SST) increases in the vicinity of the tropical «warm pool» which are related to the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO).»

Here we quantitatively relate the impacts of warm (and cold) sea surface temperature anomalies in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean to the number of hurricanes making landfall in the United States.

Texas Rep. Lamar Smith, the committee's chairman, subpoenaed NOAA in late 2015 for records related to the so - called «Karl study» that adjusted global sea surface temperature upwards, eliminating the «pause» in global warming since 1998.
