Not exact matches

SEAS researchers suggest that early Mars may have been warmed intermittently by a powerful greenhouse effect, possibly explaining water on the planet's surface billions of years ago.

Studies of historical records in India suggest that reduced monsoon rainfall in central India has occurred when the sea surface temperatures in specific regions of the Pacific Ocean were warmer than normal.

Sea - surface warming may be allowing the lionfish to expand their range, the researchers suggested.

SEAS research suggests that early Mars may have been warmed intermittently by a powerful greenhouse effect, possibly explaining the presence of water on the planet's surface.

Climate conditions favor warm water growth — as measured by sea surface temperature (SST)-- later in the year, suggesting that normal climate conditions effectively nipped the nascent El Niño in the bud.

We do not know what the MOC has actually been doing for lack of data, so the authors diagnose the state of the MOC from the sea surface temperatures — to put it simply: a warm northern Atlantic suggests strong MOC, a cool one suggests weak MOC (though it is of course a little more complex).

These results suggest that sea surface temperature pattern - induced low cloud anomalies could have contributed to the period of reduced warming between 1998 and 2013, and offer a physical explanation of why climate sensitivities estimated from recently observed trends are probably biased low 4.

In terms of power integrated over area, only northern Eurasia has a higher regional warming in absolute terms — which suggests to me that sea surface warming in the Arctic west of the Canadian archipelago might change the total sea energy balance by quite a bit.

Re 9 wili — I know of a paper suggesting, as I recall, that enhanced «backradiation» (downward radiation reaching the surface emitted by the air / clouds) contributed more to Arctic amplification specifically in the cold part of the year (just to be clear, backradiation should generally increase with any warming (aside from greenhouse feedbacks) and more so with a warming due to an increase in the greenhouse effect (including feedbacks like water vapor and, if positive, clouds, though regional changes in water vapor and clouds can go against the global trend); otherwise it was always my understanding that the albedo feedback was key (while sea ice decreases so far have been more a summer phenomenon (when it would be warmer to begin with), the heat capacity of the sea prevents much temperature response, but there is a greater build up of heat from the albedo feedback, and this is released in the cold part of the year when ice forms later or would have formed or would have been thicker; the seasonal effect of reduced winter snow cover decreasing at those latitudes which still recieve sunlight in the winter would not be so delayed).

Suggested mechanisms range from upwelling of warm deep waters onto the continental shelf in response to variations in the westerly winds, to an influence of El Niño — Southern Oscillation on sea surface temperatures.

The results suggest that warm Atlantic water never ceased to flow into the Nordic seas during the glacial period; inflow at the surface during the Holocene and warm interstadials changed to subsurface and intermediate inflow during cold stadials.

Indeed that most recent warming occurred as ENSO dragon kings in 1976/77 and 1998/2001 and that the satellite evidence suggests that cloud radiative forcing dominated in the interim in a secular pattern negatively correlated with sea surface temperature.

That suggests that the 1940s tropical warming could have started the changes in the Amundsen Sea ice shelves that are being observed now... He emphasized that natural variations in tropical sea - surface temperatures associated with the El Niño Southern Oscillation play a significant role.&raqSea ice shelves that are being observed now...

Computer models that simulate the physics of tropical cyclones suggest that this difference should increase as the climate and sea surface temperatures warm, and that storm strength should increase with it.

[1] Research findings published in the science journal Nature in August suggest increased sea surface temperatures as a consequence of global warming, will lead to more intense hurricanes.

Regional circulation patterns have significantly changed in recent years.2 For example, changes in the Arctic Oscillation can not be explained by natural variation and it has been suggested that they are broadly consistent with the expected influence of human - induced climate change.3 The signature of global warming has also been identified in recent changes in the Pacific Decadal Oscillation, a pattern of variability in sea surface temperatures in the northern Pacific Ocean.4

Provisional estimates of average global temperatures based on monthly climatological land - station and sea - surface temperature records have suggested it could be the warmest year on record.

Arctic temperatures at the beginning of the first millennium were between 2 ° and 6 °C warmer than they are now, as paleoclimate evidence suggests summer Arctic sea surface temperatures ranged between 3 °C and 7.5 °C about 2,000 years ago, whereas they average about 1.1 °C today.

Balmaseda et al. (2013) suggested that changes in the winds have resulted in a recent heat accumulation in the deep sea that has masked the surface warming and that the ocean heat content shows a steady increase.

Towards the end of his presentation he added: «Some research suggests global warming is linked to rising ocean and sea surface temperatures in the tropical Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico — which may have an impact on hurricane intensity.
