Sentences with phrase «sinking polar water»

«Not meaning to give them an out, but if normally the sinking polar water is x degrees and now it is x +1 degrees»

Not exact matches

These low - oxygen zones form naturally as colder waters that have absorbed oxygen in the polar regions sink and flow south.

Cold, polar waters constantly absorb CO2, sink as it becomes more dense, and is transported to the equatorial waters via the ThermoHaline and outgases in the warmer waters of the Indian and Pacific Oceans.

Dan H.: «Cold, polar waters constantly absorb CO2, sink as it becomes more dense, and is transported to the equatorial waters via the ThermoHaline and outgases in the warmer waters of the Indian and Pacific Oceans.»

When cold, dense water of the polar regions sinks and flows beneath warmer ocean water.

Form as cold, dense water of the polar regions sinks and flows beneath warmer ocean water.

For the United States, observations clearly show a declining frequency of extreme weather events, that sea level changes are indistinguishable from geological uplift or sinking processes, and decreased risk of regional water scarcity (due to more frequent winter polar vortices replenishing the water table), heat waves, wildfires, and the disturbance of biological systems.

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..

It may have its origin with the 800 year overturning of deep ocean waters from the polar sink places to the equatortial upwelling places.

While you might think that polar waters need only sink below the thermocline and could then flow back equatorwards only a few hundred metres down, analogous to the low tropopause, it doesn't work that way.

For the longest time it was thought that the MOC was «thermohaline», or sometimes referred to as horizontal convection, driven by water sinking at the North Atlantic polar regions and gradually diffusing up in various equatorward regions, which seems pretty inefficient.

See millions, billions, trillions traded for pigs, pokes, and lies... starving polar bears straight from the sands of a sinking arctic... snarling snow leopards swept away by melting glaciers... gasping Gurkhas in search of water... coastal residents on stilts... climate grifters juggling semi-intelligent humans... grim reapers galloping the streets... massive throngs wandering aimlessly... You there in the back!

Cold water sinks readily in polar regions, as the surface water tends to be closer to freezing, as well as being fresher from ice melt, and therefore less dense than the inflowing currents, which are in turn are rendered more saline by the fresh water freezing out.

The basic thermohaline circulation is one of sinking of cold water in the polar regions, chiefly in the northern North Atlantic and near Antarctica.
