This seems likely to be due to watering landscaping, with
the resulting evaporative cooling.
The high SSTs provide ample moisture to the atmosphere and
the resulting evaporative cooling of the ocean dropped the subsequent SST values down, but meanwhile heavy rains, often record breaking in intensity, occurred nearby to where the winds carried the moisture.
Not exact matches
This
results in a cooling effect (called
evaporative cooling) that helps to maintain body temperature and cools the body down when it gets too hot.
Analyses showed that high - frequency irrigation
resulted in higher root zone soil moisture content relative to low - frequency irrigation despite reduced
evaporative demand during part of the growing season.
They based their
results on a mechanism called «
evaporative buffering,» in which excess warming at the equator causes increased evaporation, cooling the planet in the same way that perspiration cools a marathon runner.
Consequence: If the fuel tank is overfilled and fuel is allowed to enter the fuel tank vent system, various
evaporative emission control components and / or sensors could be damaged,
resulting in poor fuel economy, increased engine exhaust emissions levels, increased risk of vehicle fire, and the illumination of a service engine soon light.
I meant «dehumidification», but it is also the case for humidification, unless you're talking an
evaporative cooler, then humidification
results in cooling.
I understand how things like changing the paint to something more reflective could
result in a cooling step change, or moving from less windy to more windy location could add
evaporative cooling, and going from a lower to higher altitude, or moving into a seabreeze, and so forth.
Meanwhile lighter winds and decreased
evaporative cooling, and sunny skies in the tropical Atlantic and Indian oceans
result in higher than normal SSTs 3 — 7 months after the peak SSTs in the Niño 3.4 region (Trenberth et al. 2002).
Evaporative loss leaves the ocean saltier; the Mediterranean and Persian Gulf for example have strong evaporative loss; the resulting plume of dense salty water may be traced through the Straits of Gibraltar into the Atla
Evaporative loss leaves the ocean saltier; the Mediterranean and Persian Gulf for example have strong
evaporative loss; the resulting plume of dense salty water may be traced through the Straits of Gibraltar into the Atla
evaporative loss; the
resulting plume of dense salty water may be traced through the Straits of Gibraltar into the Atlantic Ocean.
It
results from the large amounts of concrete and asphalt in cities absorbing and holding heat and the minimal amount of vegetation to provide shade and
evaporative cooling.
If CO2 is heating the oceans it should show up in the near surface waters and
result in a shift to greater
evaporative cooling.
These errors were the combined
result of the predip temperature of the canvas bucket,
evaporative cooling of the partially filled canvas bucket after leaving the sea, temperature change of the thermometer if withdrawn for reading, and several unsystematic errors, such as occasional 5 or 10 degrees misreadings.
The
result of the
evaporative process is that energy flows much more readily from the oceans to the air than would otherwise be the case.
That is the
result of the pressure differential which only requires one fifth energy input to cause an
evaporative event that then absorbs an additional 4 times that initial requirement.
Carter et al. [1] do not appear to be aware that temperature buffering effects due to high
evaporative rates in the tropics and tropical islands, loss of ice albedo in the poles, and other factors,
result in that global temperature increases rise rapidly with higher latitude [4],
The
results shown here document that ocean salinity and hence freshwater are changing on gyre and basin scales, with the near - surface waters in the more
evaporative regions increasing in salinity in almost all ocean basins.
