Sentences with phrase «seems warming ocean waters»

Not so long ago, it was thought warmer air would be the main cause of melting, but now it seems warming ocean waters are already having a significant effect.

Not exact matches

Blessed with warm sunny weather all year round (roughly 300 days of sunshine a year), ringed by the Atlantic Ocean on one side and protected on the other by the calm, deep - blue waters of the Tagus River (the longest river in the Iberian Peninsula), this traditionally sophisticated city seems to have it all.

Plumes of water thought to be spewed into space from the ocean would make the search easier — but now it seems these plumes could just be warm rocks.

With the sun continuing to heat the ocean water at the tropical latitudes regardless of ice cap conditions up north, it would seem that the presence of an ice cap would result in a warmer ocean over the long term, with the converse also being true.

Much like a heated kettle of water takes some time before it comes to the boil, it seems intuitive that the world's oceans will also take some time to fully respond to global warming.

Here you can explore the reef that seems to stretch out forever, build sand castles, collect oysters and clams, swim in the warm ocean water or just relax on the lawn while the kids explore the tidal pools.

Most of the islands are just a speck of sand in a great ocean, with reefs around it and beautiful warm water around it, making them seem like paradise.

I'm a fish geneticist so I won't bother commenting on «paleo - ocean current - ology», but it seems to me that glaciation would result in a reduction of fresh water inputs to the North Atlantic (during the ice age) and would therefore be quite different from the mechanism in question (which is related to early phases of global warming).

It seems that those who fear AGW (or at least some of them) do admit that it is not realistic to expect a planetary atmosphere such as ours to warm up oceans of water over the timescale required by AGW theory because of the huge volume and density of that water and thus the heat storage differentials.

The main culprit seems to be ice sheets which become in contact with warmer ocean waters.

Also, it seems the condition of more exposed and warmer arctic waters also adds to the moisture content, regardless of how much ocean was covered by ice at the beginning of the cycle.

AGW climate scientists seem to ignore that while the earth's surface may be warming, our atmosphere above 10,000 ft. above MSL is a refrigerator that can take water vapor scavenged from the vast oceans on earth (which are also a formidable heat sink), lift it to cold zones in the atmosphere by convective physical processes, chill it (removing vast amounts of heat from the atmosphere) or freeze it, (removing even more vast amounts of heat from the atmosphere) drop it on land and oceans as rain, sleet or snow, moisturizing and cooling the soil, cooling the oceans and building polar ice caps and even more importantly, increasing the albedo of the earth, with a critical negative feedback determining how much of the sun's energy is reflected back into space, changing the moment of inertia of the earth by removing water mass from equatorial latitudes and transporting this water vapor mass to the poles, reducing the earth's spin axis moment of inertia and speeding up its spin rate, etc..

You seem to be treating every chunk of warm water in each ocean as a discrete moveable item.

Also they talk about volcanic activity emitting CO2, it seems that the mere warming of ocean water will cause the ocean out gas more of it's CO2.

We need to explain how warmer waters absorbing less CO2 could become less alkaline as seems to have been happening... Less CO2 absorption should mean more alkaline oceans but they have been getting less alkaline.

though warm water going down seems «odd»... but how does the wind carry heat into the deep ocean?
