Sentences with phrase «salinity of the oceans»

Designed to profile the temperature and salinity of ocean water, these buoys are scattered around the Earth's oceans, covering nearly three - quarters of the globe.

The current is driven by differences in the temperature and salinity of ocean water (for a more thorough explanation, see here).

Also, that does not address the fact that you would need 5 times the water on the planet to flood thae earth to the level the myth says, Noah could not have built a watyer tight craft using the stone tools he would have had at that time, the salinity of the oceans would change enough to kill all life in the oceans, so that would end the food chains, ending all life for a very long time.

A magnetometer would also study the moon's magnetic field which would allow scientists to determine the depth and salinity of its ocean.

Also, the original statement implied that the Hamza was composed of freshwater which diluted the salinity of ocean water near its outflow point in the Atlantic Ocean; this has been challenged as, at the depth reported, «there is no possibility that we have freshwater.»

As can be seen from the maps in Figure 3, the salinity of the oceans varies across the world, e.g., the Atlantic Oceans are slightly saltier than the Pacific Oceans.

Sea ice is an important component of the Earth system; it is highly reflective, altering the amount of solar radiation that is absorbed; it changes the salinity of the ocean where it forms and melts, and it acts as a barrier to the exchange of heat and momentum fluxes between the atmosphere and ocean.

This changes the salinity of the oceans, and that changes how the water flows from the Arctic to the equator and back again.

The paper discusses that melting ice will decrease the salinity of the ocean waters around Antarctica, which will cause decreased mixing with the relatively warmer deep ocean waters, reducing sea surface temperatures, causing more sea ice to form.

The retreat of glaciers and shrinking of the Greenland ice sheet in the Arctic, for example, is predicted to cause significant sea - level rise, changes in the salinity of our oceans, and altered feedback loops that will make the Arctic warm up even faster.

Yes, afforestation of deserts (if it could be done) would increase the local temperatures and increase freshwater flow and thus reduce the salinity of the oceans and change circulation patterns.

The report notes that changes in the salinity of oceans, if glaciers melt and water temperatures change, could affect submarine equipment such as sonar.

This would be caused by rapidly melting polar ice changing the salinity of the ocean.

This would dilute the salinity of the ocean, and reduce its temperature, thus slowing the «conveyor» effect dramatically.

We will also continue our contribution to the international Argo floats program which provides thousands of datapoints for temperature and salinity of our oceans; and we'll be investing more in autonomous vehicles, using innovation to collect more data than ever before.
