Sentences with phrase «sea height»

Notes: Download Excel spreadsheet with sea height anomaly datasets (and comments) for these 8 island regions: Hawaii, Tuvalu, Midway, Nauru, Wake, Tahiti, Norwalk and Marshall.

But of course, the extent of destruction from the storm surge came because a tiny bit of extra sea height can hugely amplify a storm's impact.

These maps can be used to identify warm anticyclonic features, usually characterized by sea height anomalies and a depth of the 26 °C isotherm larger than their surrounding waters; and to monitor regions of very high (usually larger than 90 kJ cm - 2) TCHP.

The empirical evidence is rather convincing when it comes to a lack of rapidly rising sea heights around Pacific islands and atolls.

He believes the JPL approach - using satellite altimeters, instruments that can measure sea height precisely, and the Argo array of autonomous floating probes - could potentially add useful data to that coming from long - term on - site monitoring arrays.

The lower plot is the mean sea height inside the 28.5 °C isotherm time series in the region from October 1992 to the present, with one observation every approximately seven days.

Sea height anomaly fields from the altimeter constellation, are used in this study.

When you fly there and land on the summit, 10,500 feet above sea level, all that ice below you is what has the potential to add to sea heights.

THERE HAS BEEN A WARMING TREND FROM THE 70s THRU THE LATE 90s,... accompanied by other changes tied to a warming trend (record low arctic sea ice extent & thickness, retreating glaciers, retreating snow lines, warming ocean surface temps, increases in sea height, de-alkalinizing oceans).

The sea height anomaly (SHA) represents the deviation of the sea height with respect to its mean.

Although there are other factors controlling the sea height anomaly, it is assumed here that most of its variability is due to changes in the depth of the main thermocline and of barotropic origin.

In this page, we present four daily maps: sea height anomalies, sea surface temperature, altimeter - estimate of the depth of the 26 °C isotherm and TCHP.

So if you look downstream along a warm - water current, such as the Gulf Stream, the sea height on the right is higher (warm water) and the sea height on the left is lower (cool water).
