Sentences with phrase «storminess at»

This includes evidence for increased storminess at the end of the Little Ice Age.

iv) An AGW proponent might ignore the lack of any net surface temperature rise and instead seize on the idea that CO2 might make a large enough difference to increase storminess at the surface.

It's possible that one could see an increase in Arctic storminess at the same time the maximum global windspeed of midlatitude storms was going down modestly.

Not exact matches

The finding of an overall decrease in summer storminess is «reasonably convincing,» says James Screen, a climatologist at the University of Exeter in the United Kingdom.

Off the top of my head I can think of at least three teleconnections connected with El Nino: increased precipitation in the SW US, decreased Atlantic hurricane activity and increased storminess along the SW coast of Africa and around the Cape of Good Hope.

Brian McNoldy, a meteorologist tracking Atlantic Ocean hurricanes at Colorado State University, just distributed this note from Phil Klotzbach, a colleague, about the unusual storminess in the Atlantic and Caribbean at the moment:

Although the age model gives some uncertainty in the timings, it appears that storminess increased at the onset and close of North Atlantic cold events associated with oceanic changes, with reduced storm activity at their peak.

But, they say, their work does imply that factors other than ocean temperature, at least for thousands of years, appear to have played a pivotal role in shaping storminess in the region.

«The authors write that «the Mediterranean region is one of the world's most vulnerable areas with respect to global warming,»... they thus consider it to be extremely important to determine what impact further temperature increases might have on the storminess of the region... produced a high - resolution record of paleostorm events along the French Mediterranean coast over the past 7000 years... from the sediment bed of Pierre Blanche Lagoon [near Montpellier, France]... nine French scientists, as they describe it, «recorded seven periods of increased storm activity at 6300 - 6100, 5650 - 5400, 4400 - 4050, 3650 - 3200, 2800 - 2600, 1950 - 1400, and 400 - 50 cal yr BP,» the latter of which intervals they associate with the Little Ice Age.

From the available literature it appears uncertain at this stage whether climate change effects will significantly strengthen or reduce the Rossouw and Theron: Port and maritime climate change impacts — SA coast Agulhas current (or increase storminess off the SA southeast coast), and thereby reduce or increase the risk «freak» waves pose to shipping.»

A possible connection between cosmic rays and clouds was already established at the end of the 19th century by the inventor of the cloud chamber, Wilson (1899); it was admittedly «speculation» that ionization in the upper troposphere affected storminess.
