As increased sea surface temperatures from global warming could increase the intensity of cyclones, this could create negative feedback, with bigger cyclones locking up more organic... Read more
A rapid response scientific analysis determined that the catastrophic die back event would not have been possible without climate
change increasing sea surface temperatures that are strongly associated with bleaching.
Sea level pressure changes in the two solstice seasons from a GCM simulation
with increased sea surface temperature gradient minus a simulation with a decreased gradient in the Atlantic (top row), in the Pacific (middle row), and increased gradient in the Atlantic along with a decreased gradient in the Pacific minus the reverse (bottom row).
The government dataset, called the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Extended Reconstructed Sea Surface Temperature version 4,
increased the sea surface temperature trend estimate over the last 18 years from 0.07 ° Celsius per decade to 0.12 ° Celsius per decade, partly because of adjustments for different types of measuring instruments.
In particular, two commonly used methods for converting cumulus condensate into precipitation can lead to drastically different climate sensitivity, as estimated here with an atmosphere — land model
by increasing sea surface temperatures uniformly and examining the response in the top - of - atmosphere energy balance.
Circulation fields for May through June resulted in hot air masses from south Asia and Africa entering Siberia and the Russian Arctic, as well
as increasing sea surface temperatures (SSTs) in the North - East Atlantic domain, subjecting the relatively thin ice cover to rapid melting.
The reduction — averaging about 1 % per year — is related to
increasing sea surface temperatures, says the paper, published tomorrow in the journal Nature.
The coincidence of this area loss and a 30 square kilometer loss in 2008 with abnormal warmth this year, the setting of
increasing sea surface temperatures and sea ice decline are all part of a climate warming pattern.
That can
increase the sea surface temperature and the air temperature, leading to more rapid melting and thinning at the glacier terminus.
So the next question is what will
increasing sea surface temperatures and decreasing pH do to the biological pump.
«If humans are
increasing sea surface temperatures and if you buy this link between increases rising sea surface temperatures and increases in hurricane intensity, that's the conclusion you come to,» Curry said.
Changes in mean global ocean pH / pCO2, due to uptake of anthropogenic CO2, will reduce pH (ca − 0.3 to 0.5 units / 500 + µatm), and global warming will contribute to
increased sea surface temperature (+1.1 to 6.4 °C), by 2100 [1 — 4,7].
