Sentences with phrase «temperature over the oceans»

Warming has occurred in both land and ocean domains, and in both sea surface temperature (SST) and nighttime marine air temperature over the oceans.

Increasing the surface temperature over the ocean by 1 °C should increase the humidity of saturation and thus the absolute humidity by 8 percent.

Let's compare the warming and cooling patterns for lower troposphere temperatures over the oceans to a spatially complete, satellite - enhanced sea surface temperature dataset, Reynolds OI.v2.

But matters are greatly complicated by atmospheric circulation patterns, cyclic changes in temperatures over the oceans, and the shapes of land masses.

CO2 changes the LW fluxes directly and the other fluxes indirectly — and the net effect is to increase surface air temperatures over the ocean over what they would have been.

During times of warmth, the ocean water levels rise as atmospheric moisture increases but at a rate decelerating when atmospheric temperatures over oceans approach say 33 C.

ACCORDING to Josefino Comiso et al, in the the Journal of Climate, cooling temperatures over the ocean and surrounding Antarctica are driving the increase in Antarctic sea - ice...

However, there are two well known long - term surface temperature datasets that are based (on a decadal timescale upwards) on air temperature over the ocean as well as land, and which moreover infill to obtain complete or near complete global coverage: NOAAv4.01 and GISSTEMP.

They avoid some of the issues in Millar by using more globally - representative surface temperature records, though they still use series that blend surface air temperatures over land with slower - warming sea surface temperatures over the ocean.

And for the period of 1997 to 2012, there are no similarities between the warming and cooling patterns for lower troposphere temperatures over the oceans and the satellite - enhanced sea surface temperature data.

The former is likely to overestimate the true global surface air temperature trend (since the oceans do not warm as fast as the land), while the latter may underestimate the true trend, since the air temperature over the ocean is predicted to rise at a slightly higher rate than the ocean temperature.

While consistent with the IPCC assessments of historical warming, it lacks coverage of much of the fast - warming Arctic region and blends surface air temperatures over land with slower - warming sea surface temperatures over the ocean.

Both agencies said that temperatures over the oceans were the warmest ever recorded.

Temperatures over ocean in May were the highest on record, and tied with three other records (all set within the past two decades) for «the highest departure from average for any month on record.»

Warmer sea surface water can severely damage coral reefs, facilitate algal blooms, and together with warmer air temperature over the oceans, can increase the destructive potential of tropical cyclones and hurricanes.

Just as temperatures over land are getting warmer, so are temperatures over oceans.
