Sentences with phrase «slower ocean heat uptake»

al. correctly predict that the land surface will warm more than the ocean surface, and that the southern ocean warming would be temporarily suppressed due to the slower ocean heat uptake.

You however are assuming (it seems to me) that because when you plot net flux against T, you don't get a straight line, that the explanation must be something to do with how fast or slow the ocean heat uptake is.

Not exact matches

If the greenhouse effect (that checks the exit of longwave radiation from Earth into space) or the amount of absorbed sunlight diminished, one would see a slowing in the heat uptake of the oceans.

For example: 1) plants giving off net CO2 in hot conditions (r / t aborbing)-- see: http://www.climateark.org/articles/reader.asp?linkid=46488 2) plants dying out due to heat & drought & wild fires enhanced by GW (reducing or cutting short their uptake of CO2 & releasing CO2 in the process) 3) ocean methane clathrates melting, giving off methane 4) permafrost melting & giving off methane & CO2 5) ice & snow melting, uncovering dark surfaces that absorb more heat 6) the warming slowing the thermohaline ocean conveyor & its up - churning of nutrients — reducing marine plant life & that carbon sink.

I haven't looked at the research paper in detail, but the general slowing of sea level rise after 2004 - 2005 fits in with the sharp acceleration of heat uptake into the ocean during 2000 - 2005, and a slower rate of heat uptake thereafter.

The recent trend in sea level rise is consistent with ocean heat uptake, so we shouldn't be surprised that the recent trend in sea level rise has slowed somewhat too.

Vast and slow to change temperature, the oceans have a huge capacity to sequester heat, especially the deep ocean, which is playing an increasingly large uptake and storage role.

«But the other thing I want to point out,» England added, «is that greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are at such high concentrations compared to what they were 100 years ago that you don't need to bring heat back up from the ocean to the surface to get future warming — you just need to slow down the heat uptake by the ocean, and greenhouse gases will do the rest.»

The slowed surface warming is due in large part to changes in ocean cycles, particularly in the Pacific Ocean, causing more efficient ocean heat uptake, thus leaving less heat to warm surface temperatocean cycles, particularly in the Pacific Ocean, causing more efficient ocean heat uptake, thus leaving less heat to warm surface temperatOcean, causing more efficient ocean heat uptake, thus leaving less heat to warm surface temperatocean heat uptake, thus leaving less heat to warm surface temperatures.

Considering all the short - term factors identified by the scientific community that acted to slow the rate of global warming over the past two decades (volcanoes, ocean heat uptake, solar decreases, predominance of La Niñas, etc.) it is likely the temperature increase would have accelerated in comparison to the late 20th Century increases.

The discrepancy is likely accounted for by excessive ocean heat uptake at low latitudes in our model, a problem related to the model's slow surface response time (Fig. 4) that may be caused by excessive small - scale ocean mixing.

«In our mor recent global model simulations the ocean heat - uptake is slower than previously estimated, the ocean uptake of carbon is weaker, feedbacks from the land system as temperature rises are stronger, cumulative emissions of greenhouse gases over the century are higher, and offsetting cooling from aerosol emissions is lower.

When the turnover slows down, the usual heat uptake by the ocean resumes, which is only a bit less.

Specifically, he pinpoints the slow response to ocean heat uptake in the high latitude regions, where the oceans are most unstable to vertical mixing.

And again, and again, and again, if the oceans are slow on the uptake of heat energy, where is the heat energy hiding in the meantime / maritime?

BBD, And the rate of ocean heat uptake modulates the rate of surface warming (recently, it is slowing it).

And the rate of ocean heat uptake modulates the rate of surface warming (recently, it is slowing it).

The slowed surface warming over the past decade seems to be a result of more heat accumulation in the oceans due to short - term increase in ocean heat uptake efficiency.

When applying this statistical correction, Watanabe et al. found an enhanced overall ocean heat uptake, which suggests that the slowed surface warming can be explained by internal variability transferring more heat to the deep oceans, consistent with previous research.
