Sentences with phrase «transfer sea temperature»

Whatever the mechanism, it has to be quite fast to transfer sea temperature properties to air over land so rapidly.

Not exact matches

And because clouds reflect sunlight, cloud dissipation causes more sunlight to transfer to the ground and seas, ultimately resulting in warmer ground and air temperatures.

Hansen mentioned faster sea level rise as a possibility based on the idea that as the temperature rises, the rate of heat transfer to ice rises.

The surface temperature responds to energy transfer between the oceans and atmosphere which varies dynamically as a result of changes in sea surface temperature.

The temperature effects were in one sense not all that mysterious — energy transfer to and from the ocean in shifting regimes of sea temperature.

This means that if the surface temperature is constant and energy is slowly transferring into the water column all the way to the sea floor, the ocean will keep expanding and sea level will continue rising.

As evident in the figures the near surface air temperatures are actually warmer over the Arctic Ocean (by over 1 °C in large areas) when the sea ice absorbs solar radiation and transfers some of this energy as sensible heat back into the atmosphere.

Since the rate of energy transfer is proportional to ∆ T, the air - sea temperature difference, this changes the total heat going into the atmosphere.

Combining land surface temperatures and sea surface temperatures is a particularly meaningless metric, because SSTs measure the rate at which heat is transferred from the oceans to the atmosphere.

The transfer of sensible heat and evaporation fluxes are particularly critical because they feed back on the atmospheric circulation, clouds, sea ice, temperature, and humidity.

In a new paper, researchers conclude that changes in sensible heat transfer and evaporation fluxes — in response to strong regional trends in the air - surface temperature contrast related to the changing character of the sea ice cover — are becoming increasingly consequential to Arctic climate variability and change.

Ron, «By using night marine air temperatures to normalize all sea data Huang effectively transferred the tas tend to tos for ERSSTv4» No, it doesn't have that effect.

The sun, currents and energy transfer processes affect the global pattern of sea surface temperatures.

As many climate scientists note in their papers, the relevant sea surface temperature for heat transfer between ocean and atmosphere is the very surface, the skin temperature.

By using night marine air temperatures to normalize all sea data Huang effectively transferred the tas tend to tos for ERSSTv4 (NOAA's ocean temp index used by GISTEMP).

Spray droplets are cooled to their wet bulb temperature by evaporation before falling back into the sea, thereby transferring a huge amount of heat from sea to air.

If the net increase in sea surface temperature produces a net increase in the rainfall, that entails a net increase in the rate of non-radiative transfer of energy from the surface to the upper troposphere.

I was only thinking in terms of the heat transfer and temperature changes, and have not thought through the implications for sea level rise.

Variations in SST due to variations in heat transport by ocean currents or diffusion into the thermocline are neglected while contributions by changes in evaporation, turbulent transfer, and surface radiation are estimated as being proportional to the anomalous air - sea temperature difference.
