Sentences with phrase «rising ocean temperatures slow»

Scientists have discovered that rising ocean temperatures slow the development of baby fish around the equator, raising concerns about the impact of global warming on fish and fisheries in the tropics.

Not exact matches

Federal protection could slow the destruction of coral reefs, which are devastated by increasing water temperatures and the rise of ocean acidification

Interestingly, those same winds are thought to be part of the mechanism burying heat in the Pacific Ocean, leading to the slower pace of rising temperatures at the planet's surface in recent decades.

Scientists are currently interested in why temperatures at the surface of the ocean have been rising slower than in previous decades, even though we're emitting greenhouse gases faster than ever.

Indeed, if the forcing increased slow enough (or the Earth responded faster — for instance, if there weren't any oceans), the temperature rise would basically just follow the forcing and you'd be hard pressed to detect an imbalance.

These fish would likely go extinct even if climate change were particularly slow — once the temperature of the Arctic and Antarctic Oceans rise above the level that the water is unable to carry sufficient oxygen.

The slow onset processes of temperature rise, sea level rise, salinization, ocean acidification, and desertification all pose substantial and ever increasing threats to future food production and the lives and livelihoods of food producers and fisherfolk.

They conclude that while the rate of increase of average global surface temperatures has slowed since 1998, melting of Arctic ice, rising sea levels, and warming oceans have continued apace.

For example, a recent slowing in the rate of surface air temperature rise appears to be related to cyclic changes in the oceans and in the sun's energy output, as well as a series of small volcanic eruptions and other factors.

«In our mor recent global model simulations the ocean heat - uptake is slower than previously estimated, the ocean uptake of carbon is weaker, feedbacks from the land system as temperature rises are stronger, cumulative emissions of greenhouse gases over the century are higher, and offsetting cooling from aerosol emissions is lower.

Ocean temperatures are rising slower than over land, therefore even if tropical land tropospheric temperatures were being set by a moist adiabat over the ocean, it would still have a smaller ratio with respect to the land Ocean temperatures are rising slower than over land, therefore even if tropical land tropospheric temperatures were being set by a moist adiabat over the ocean, it would still have a smaller ratio with respect to the land ocean, it would still have a smaller ratio with respect to the land temp.

The point to note is that this error would explain the slow rise in ocean temperature despite the current CO2 forcing.
