Sentences with phrase «than lower latitudes»

With a great deal of polar warming going on (more so than lower latitudes) it would be the opinion of many that GISS is more accurate overall if you want to look at the whole surface of the planet.

Someone is bound to complain that I've deleted the Arctic data from the GISS LOTI data and that the Arctic is warming much faster than lower latitudes.

and there's a lot of basic physics that stem from simple principles (e.g., precipitation is more depleted than the water from which it evaporated, the high latitudes are more depleted than lower latitudes, etc).

Perhaps part of the reason why the poles warm more strongly than the lower latitudes (in addition to reduced sea - ice) may be an increase in storm activity along the storm tracks?

Any alternative explanation must support the fact that nights are warming faster than days, winters faster than summers, and the arctic warming faster than lower latitudes.

And none that would cause the arctic to warm faster than lower latitudes, nights faster than days, and winters faster than summers.

Further affirmation of the reality of the warming is its spatial distribution, which has largest values at locations remote from any local human influence, with a global pattern consistent with that expected for response to global climate forcings (larger in the Northern Hemisphere than the Southern Hemisphere, larger at high latitudes than low latitudes, larger over land than over ocean).

Not exact matches

The air pressure atop Mount McKinley is lower than is found at the same elevation on other high mountains in temperate latitudes.

With adolescents less likely to spend time outdoors than younger children, they experience less exposure to the sun, which is how we naturally obtain vitamin D. Low vitamin D levels are also a problem at northern latitudes during the winter months when the sun is not sufficient for us to make vitamin D within our bodies, so dietary intakes become more important.

Epidemiologists at University of California, San Diego School of Medicine report that persons residing at higher latitudes, with lower sunlight / ultraviolet B (UVB) exposure and greater prevalence of vitamin D deficiency, are at least two times at greater risk of developing leukemia than equatorial populations.

It also revealed that treeshrews invert Bergmann's rule: individuals from lower latitudes tended to be larger than those located at higher latitudes.

Bergmann's rule holds that populations of a species in colder climates — generally located at higher latitudes — have larger body sizes than populations in warmer climates, which are usually at lower latitudes.

To date, research focusing on the connection between these two threats has primarily focused on the idea that species from lower latitudes, which typically experience warmer temperatures than those in higher latitude ecosystems, will perform better at higher latitudes as temperatures warm.

«This means that the invasive plants suffer less herbivory at lower latitudes than the native plants, giving the invasive Phragmites a greater opportunity to invade.

«These chemicals enter the atmosphere at lower latitudes where they were used, and are then deposited down from the cold polar air, so Arctic animals are more highly exposed than animals in more temperate or equatorial regions,» University of Florida researcher Margaret James (who wasn't involved in the study) told New Scientist.

The Arctic is warming twice as fast as the lower latitudes, and scientists report sea ice across the Nares Strait just collapsed two months earlier than normal.

Hansen does show support for our statements that the recent warming experienced in the Midwest is much more likely to occur in winter than summer due to «the huge difference of temperature between low latitudes and high latitudes in winter.

Temperatures are rising faster in the Arctic than at lower latitudes — known as Arctic amplification.

«The roles that temperature and humidity play is different in the Arctic, where the air is colder and drier than at lower latitudes,» he said.

Vigorous convective mixing in the deep tropics also dilutes changes in near - surface CO2 much more than at higher latitudes, so low - altitude sampling contains relatively less information about carbon sources and sinks.

If these ionisation cascades get to the «weather layer», wouldn't the poles be cloudier on average than expected, cf. at lower latitudes (and accounting for water vapour differences between the two extremes)?

The obvious answer (from someone who is indeed receptive to arguments for lower - than - consensus climate sensitivities) is that it was on a par with recent hot years because temperatures at US latitudes of the globe really weren't as much cooler in the 1930s / 1940s (compared to the present) than GISS / Hadley's best estimates (from often sketchy global coverage) suggest.

An important point is that the temperature difference between lower latitudes and the Arctic (at least for land based) is smaller now than in the 1930 - 1940's.

Moreover, the seasonal, regional, and atmospheric patterns of rising temperatures — greater warming in winters than summers, greater warming at high latitudes than near the equator, and a cooling in the stratosphere while the lower atmosphere is warmer — jibe with what computer models predict should happen with greenhouse heating.

But as I understand the IPCC claims, the postulated future GH warming is supposed to occur primarily at higher latitudes, rather than in the warmer regions today, so it appears to me that this would present a «win - win» situation: lower heating costs, fewer cold weather deaths, increased high latitide crop yields, etc. while presenting no new problems for the warmer regions.

A prominent (in the media, anyway) research study last year by Rutgers's Jennifer Francis and University of Wisconsin's Stephen Vavrus suggests that the declining temperature difference between the Arctic and the lower latitudes (adding greenhouse gases into the atmosphere warms colder, drier regions more so than warmer, wetter ones — with the notable exception of Antarctica) has led to changes in the jet stream which result in slower moving, and potentially stronger East Coast winter storm systems.

Meaning one get an effect similar to the higher troposphere one gets on Earth with the tropics: «At latitudes above 60, the tropopause is less than 9 -10 km above sea level; the lowest is less than 8 km high, above Antarctica and above Siberia and northern Canada in winter.

The comprehensive survey found the sites that lost pikas were on average drier and warmer and at lower latitudes than sites where the animals remain, said Erik Beever, a U.S. Geological Survey biologist based in Corvallis, Ore., and the study's lead author.

And, given the fact that the amount of kinetic energy needed to raise temps by 1C in the Arctic is far less than needed to raise by 1c at lower latitudes, is not the cooling far more significant than the warming?

«The potential for harm in lower latitudes may actually be worse than at the poles,» she said.

Differences in extreme precipitation estimates are greater for arid regions than humid regions, and for lower latitudes than higher latitudes.

The intensification of the Northern Hemisphere circulation is reflected in the positive phase of the Arctic Oscillation (AO), associated with higher - than - normal surface pressure south of about 508 N and lower - than - normal surface pressure over the high northern latitudes.

The ice that was at higher latitudes contributes less angular momentum than the water that is now at lower latitudes.

To do so, you'd need a study such as mine which shows water vapour cools and more moist regions have lower mean daily maximum and minimum temperatures than drier regions at similar latitudes and altitudes.

For one, he said, recent storms have tracked more toward the North Pole through the Greenland Sea, drawing heat directly north from lower latitudes, rather than through a more circuitous route over the Barents Sea.

During the winter season, the polar front is generally located at lower latitudes and is more pronounced than in the summer.

Although there is less warming at low latitudes than at high northern latitudes, there is also less internal variability at low latitudes, which results in a greater separation of the climate simulations with and without anthropogenic forcings.

The fact that the actual measured planetary warming is less than the lowest IPCC model prediction warming and is found only at high latitudes (which is not predicted by the IPCC models) logically supports the assertion that the planet's response to a change in forcing is to resist the change (negative feedback, planetary clouds in the tropics increase reflecting more sunlight in to space) rather than to amplify the change (positive feedback) due increased water vapour in the atmosphere.

In the auroral zone, which is generally under continuous and much stronger geomagnetic / magnetospheric activity control than low and middle latitudes, the trends seem to be still under dominant geomagnetic control as suggested by the foE trends as observed at auroral station Tromso (Hall et al. 2011).

Furthermore, it can be seen that due to the lower incidence angle of the solar radiation at lower latitudes, TEC at 35 ° N is principally higher than TEC at 65 ° N.
