The resulting picture shows that ice volume has changed much more dramatically
than ocean temperatures in response to changes in orbital geometry.
In this worst case scenario, atmospheric warming (
rather than ocean warming) will soon become the dominant driver of ice loss.
The tendency for land averages to increase more
quickly than ocean averages is clearly visible.
River boats, which can hold up to 190 passengers, are substantially smaller
than ocean cruise ships — many of which can carry well over 6,000.
Temperature gains are larger at the sea surface, which heats faster
than the ocean as a whole.
Totally
different than ocean cruises, river cruising allows you to get up close to all your destinations.
Their protected positions offer a quieter, more relaxed, picnic atmosphere
than the ocean beaches and they are not dominated by shops catering to tourists and visitors.
The variations are stronger because of the northern hemisphere's larger fraction of land, which has a lower heat
capacity than the ocean and thus responds more quickly to variations.
Actual «white noise» is the best rather
than ocean waves or sounds of trains, birds, etc..
The net forcing is negative as the atmosphere is cooler
than the ocean skin layer, but approaches zero under cloudy conditions.
Air freight wins for today's «need - it - now» philosophy, but it is typically 12 to 16 times more
expensive than ocean freight.
The northern hemisphere has warmed faster than the southern because there's more land in the north than the south, and land has far less thermal
inertia than ocean.
The atmosphere can not warm / cool more
than the ocean SST changes, so it should also respond more strongly than the atmospheric response.
They are fairly rare on the dry beach around here, probably because the local winds are very erratic and the sand is less sticky
than ocean sand.
Is the atmosphere adding more
mass than the ocean is taking away or is it the other way around?
I am no expert in this and don't know much about terrestrial ecosystems except that they are generally considered to be substantially more
complex than ocean ecosystems.
Set just a little further
back than the ocean front condos, these one - bedroom condos still have a great view of the ocean and the same square footage.
If you think they do, then you should explain why they are a better
proxy than ocean heat content, and over what timeframe you think they are a better proxy.
The first is greater warming over
land than ocean and greater warming at the surface of the sea than in the deeper layers.
There are periods when the ocean heats up more quickly than the surface, and other periods when the surface heats up more
quickly than the oceans.
