Sentences with phrase «sea level variability associated»

The researchers found that as external forcing increases in strength over the 21st century, sea level variability associated with the overturning circulation becomes dominant.

Not exact matches

Periods that are of possibly the most interest for testing sensitivities associated with uncertainties in future projections are the mid-Holocene (for tropical rainfall, sea ice), the 8.2 kyr event (for the ocean thermohaline circulation), the last two millennia (for decadal / multi-decadal variability), the last interglacial (for ice sheets / sea level) etc..

There are many patterns of behaviour particularly in the Pacific, associated with El Nino variability — possibly related to Vanuatu's lack of actual sea level rise over the last 40 years.

«Regional variability in sea level associated with large - scale ocean circulations, with magnitude + / - 20 cm since 1993.»

The study demonstrates that observation - based interpretations, highlighting the role of winds in past regional sea level variability, are not inconsistent with the dominance of AMOC - associated changes in the 21st century.

These changes combined with higher sea levels and associated storm surges, more intense droughts, and increased precipitation variability are projected to lead to increased stresses to water, agriculture, economic activities and urban and rural settlements (high confidence).

«However, Fig. 15 and the associated uncertainties discussed in Section 3.4 show that long term estimates of time variable sea level acceleration in 203 year global reconstruction are significantly positive, which supports our previous finding (Jevrejeva et al., 2008a), that despite strong low frequency variability (larger than 60 years) the rate of sea level rise is increasing with time.»

On decadal timescales, wind stress associated with ENSO and IOD is the major cause for decadal sea level variability north of 20 ° S.
