Sentences with phrase «thereby reducing the warming»

If convection decreases, says Moore, the Gulf Stream may weaken, thereby reducing the warming of the atmosphere, in comparison to today.

Not exact matches

The increased sunlight reflectance in the sky would keep the waters below from warming up to the hurricane threshold while also curbing evaporation, thereby reducing the atmospheric moisture needed to make a storm.

Similarly, being immersed in warm water during your labor can help to relax your muscles thereby reducing the amount of pain you feel.

«Studying the PETM helps us understand the mechanisms that aid recovery from global warming, thereby helping researchers reduce the uncertainties surrounding the Earth's response to global climate change,» Ridgwell said.

Natural global warming is self - rectifying either by slow chemical weathering processes responsible for mineral sequestration of carbon or by gradual return of Earth's orbital parameters to what they were before the onset of global warming, thereby significantly reducing the amount of solar radiation reaching the Earth's surface.

Shorter exhaust passages also diminish the heat lost to radiation, thereby reducing the time required to warm the catalytic converters — also located in the engine's valley — to proper operating temperature.

Suppose that there has been a multi-century increase in the poleward heat transport in the oceans due to internal variability, which warms the poles, reduces ice extent and albedos, and thereby warms the planet.

Biofuel is widely considered a way to reduce greenhouse gases from fossil fuel use and thereby reduce human - caused global warming.

Natural global warming is self - rectifying either by slow chemical weathering processes responsible for mineral sequestration of carbon or by gradual return of Earth's orbital parameters to what they were before the onset of global warming, thereby significantly reducing the amount of solar radiation reaching the Earth's surface.

They have have sought to render the 1940s less warm so as to compress the 1920s to 1940s warming, they have warmed the period between 1940 and 1970 thereby reducing the amount of the 1940s to 1970s cooling (in accordance with the Team's declared intention, to eradicate or at any rate reduce the 1940s blip), and they have increased the post 1970s warming exaggerating the trend.

Meehl and Teng recently showed that when this is done, thereby turning a model projection into a hindcast, the models reproduced the observed trends — accelerated warming in the 1970s and reduced rate of surface warming during the last 15 years — quite well.

It has been recorded since the 1960s in terms of both rising ocean temperature and rising acidity, both of which reduce the capacity to remove CO2 from the atmosphere, thereby advancing AGW and further ocean warming.

Carbon dioxide traps heat, reducing the amount escaping into space, thereby warming the globe.

This tweak served to reduce the map's low - end contrast, thereby masking the areas of zero warming and visually absorbing them into the peach - colored continental warming.

The issue is that a warmer climate reduces the extent by making winters shorter thereby reducing albedo.

But a new study published in the journal Science Advances has concluded that another impact of global climate change might help coral reefs survive increasing sea temperatures: «even a modest sea level rise can substantially reduce temperature extremes within tide - dominated reefs, thereby partially offsetting the local effects of future ocean warming,» the authors of the study write.

Thus, all else being equal, anything which warms the skin layer from above, including LWR, will reduce the rate of conductive heat transfer through that layer thereby reducing the rate at which the oceans dissipate absorbed Solar energy.

[The Global Conveyer Belt has suddenly stopped for several speculated reason in the past and caused dramatic and rapid climate changes always to the cold side; therefore, warm is preferable to cold any day] http://science.nasa.gov/earth-science/oceanography/ocean-earth-system/ocean-water-cycle/ «As water temperature increases, the increased mobility of gas molecules make them escape from the water, thereby reducing the amount of gas dissolved.

«The 14.7 ka b2k event followed Heinrich event H1 at a time when the ice sheets in the North were still extensive whereas the North was more deglaciated at 11.7 ka b2k (34), reducing the amount of ice discharge available to change the density of North Atlantic ocean waters and thereby the THC before the warming onset.»

Carbon dioxide absorbs upwelling long wave radiation and re-emits it back to the ground, thereby reducing the amount of heat that escapes to space, warming the planet.

While the window for global decisive action is rapidly closing, climate scientists should not make careless promises about their ability to reduce uncertainties in climate scenarios over the next few years, and thereby provide our governments with excuses to shun their responsabilities until they know more detail about how fast and adverse their regional impacts of global warming will be (compared to those in other countries).

Thus, the static stability of the near - surface water increases and the convective mixing of cold surface water with the relatively warm subsurface water is reduced, thereby contributing to the reduction of sea surface temperature in the Circumpolar Ocean.

Research suggests that maternal depression and associated symptoms may reduce the quality of parent — child interactions, contributing to less warm, less available, and less sensitive parenting during daily interactions, and thereby reducing support for the development of child social competencies and peer interaction skills.
