Sentences with phrase «total ocean mass»

Present - day mass redistribution increases the total ocean mass and, on average, causes the ocean bottom to subside elastically.

Not exact matches

«The total amount of water there is nearly the same as the mass of all the world's ocean water.»

The objective of our study was to quantify the consistency of near - global and regional integrals of ocean heat content and steric sea level (from in situ temperature and salinity data), total sea level (from satellite altimeter data) and ocean mass (from satellite gravimetry data) from an Argo perspective.

That may be true on a total mass basis, however, the comparison of the water mass versus the mass of only the top crust, that part that is visible for example, down a few kilometers, say to the depth of the deepest part of the ocean — water would be a significantly higher proportion of the mass than you have stipulated.

I would suggest that a new proxy for heat being stored (or lost) from the Earth climate system be developed based on Total System Enthalpy, using a combination of moist enthalpy in the troposphere (after Pielke Sr.), ocean heat content, and total ice mass on the plTotal System Enthalpy, using a combination of moist enthalpy in the troposphere (after Pielke Sr.), ocean heat content, and total ice mass on the pltotal ice mass on the planet.

Sea level change - Sea level can change, both globally and locally, due to (i) changes in the shape of the ocean basins, (ii) changes in the total mass of water and (iii) changes in water density.

Because about halve the added CO2 as mass remains in the atmosphere, the total mass increases, which pushes more CO2 into the oceans and vegetation.

I got a most probable value of 1.55 C / doubling, a 17 % to 83 % range of 1.41 C to 3.27 C / doubling, and a 5 % to 95 % range of 1.18 C to 6.2 C / doubling... not far from your values (but I assumed a little higher total heat accumulation, including deep ocean uptake equal to 10 % of the 0 - 2000M value, and some additonal heat for ice melt and land mass warming).

-- If undersea volcanoes emit sufficient amounts of acids (in the enormous carbonate buffer masses of the deep oceans), then the pH of the oceans could lower somewhat, but that would show up in a lower total carbon (DIC: CO2 + - bi-carbonates) content of the oceans as they release CO2 to the atmosphere.

The half life time of the accumulation in mass of CO2 in the atmosphere is entirely different of the half life time of the accumulation in % in the atmosphere of the emissions, which is governed by the total carbon cycles between air and oceans / vegetation.

-- d13C / d14C levels don't prove that humans are the sole cause of the increase in the atmosphere, but they prove that the deep oceans are not the cause of the increase... — I did use your Segalstad example to show the difference between accumulation in % (the red dye) and the accumulation is mass (the extra inflow), all other variables being constant in total result.
