Sentences with phrase «temperature at the surface»

Scientists are currently interested in why temperatures at the surface of the ocean have been rising slower than in previous decades, even though we're emitting greenhouse gases faster than ever.

The turbulence from nearby turbines, or other tall structure, can cause the warmer air above to mix with this cool layer; increasing temperatures at the surface.

The water cycle limits the maximum temperature at the surface within a wide range of energy inputs.

The reverse is true during cool and wet summers, when the magnitude of cooler than normal temperatures at the surface is not matched in the upper air.

If we increase the total optical depth of the atmosphere the atmospheric temperature at the surface increases.

Between 1850 and 1990 the global - mean temperature at the surface of the Earth warmed by approximately 0.5 °C (about 1 °F).

«Departures from the expected increase in temperature with depth (the geothermal gradient) can be interpreted in terms of changes in temperature at the surface in the past, which have slowly diffused downward, warming or cooling layers meters below the surface.»

«Satellites only measure temperature at the surface.

Dust in the atmosphere reflects sunlight back to space, reducing temperatures at the surface as well as evaporation.

Of equal importance is what will happen as the ocean warms, and what kind of changes in ocean temperatures at the surface and at depth can be expected?

The record temperatures occurred despite a moderate occurrence of La Niña, a phenomenon over the Pacific Ocean that tends to lead to cooler temperatures at the surface, affecting the global mean.

Shouldn't we see less OLR for a given temperature at the surface.

Also, the current theory gives a large discontinuity between the surface temperature and the air temperature at the surface.

Ocean temperatures at the surface are higher than usual, providing fertile grounds for storm development.

The problem is that unless the core is properly contained, the change in pressure and temperature at the surface can cause it to explode, says Edwards.

«Since oxygen concentrations in the ocean naturally vary depending on variations in winds and temperature at the surface, it's been challenging to attribute any deoxygenation to climate change.

Instrumental observations over the past 157 years show that temperatures at the surface have risen globally, with important regional variations.

The largest subglacial lake, Lake Vostok, lies beneath the coldest place on the planet, where the temperature at the surface often falls below minus 60 degrees Celsius.
