Sentences with phrase «transported by ocean currents»

The researchers also found that larval behavior enhances the persistence of these network connections, when compared to passive transport by the ocean currents.

Cameron has been studying how and why this energy transport by ocean currents affects the global climate.

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.

By analogy, a warmer world wouldn't be rainier (or cloudier); it's an imperfect analogy, because rain isn't absolutely correlated with cloudiness, and lateral transport of energy by ocean, air, and latent heat currents in and out of the E & W Pacific Ocean areas won't scale to global warmiBy analogy, a warmer world wouldn't be rainier (or cloudier); it's an imperfect analogy, because rain isn't absolutely correlated with cloudiness, and lateral transport of energy by ocean, air, and latent heat currents in and out of the E & W Pacific Ocean areas won't scale to global warmiby ocean, air, and latent heat currents in and out of the E & W Pacific Ocean areas won't scale to global waocean, air, and latent heat currents in and out of the E & W Pacific Ocean areas won't scale to global waOcean areas won't scale to global warming

The mercury - enriched waters then enter a long - range eastward transport by large ocean circulation currents,» said USGS scientist and coauthor David Krabbenhoft.

WHOI scientists were involved in the recently reported study of rapid draining of glacier meltwater lakes, but WHOI is also studying the transport of carbon sediments by ocean currents.

On the other hand, the budgeting of salinity implicit in the ocean model used by Hatun et al. may not properly account for river run - off (freshens the water), transport from the Pacific, the Canadian Archipelago, the East Greenland current, or melting processes.

One, she says, «clearly and authoritatively describes the complex interactions among ocean dynamics and heat transport, sea ice dynamics forced both by atmospheric winds and ocean currents, and atmospheric thermodynamic forcing in determining recent variations in multi-year sea ice extent.

Transport of heat by winds and ocean currents

6 Climate is caused by many factors including: Trapping of heat by the atmosphere Latitude Transport of heat by winds and ocean currents

Conversely, during low solar activity during the Little Ice Age, transport of warm water was reduced by 10 % and Arctic sea ice increased.17 Although it is not a situation I would ever hope for, if history repeats itself, then natural climate dynamics of the past suggest, the current drop in the sun's output will produce a similar cooler climate, and it will likely be detected first as a slow down in the poleward transport of ocean heat.22 Should we prepare for this possibility?

Also described in the post: surface waters with ENSO - induced anomalies in the South Atlantic should be transported northward into the North Atlantic by ocean currents.

Here, we have shown that this warming was associated and presumably initiated by a major increase in the westerly to south - westerly wind north of Norway leading to enhanced atmospheric and ocean heat transport from the comparatively warm North Atlantic Current through the passage between northern Norway and Spitsbergen into the Barents Sea.»

In the tropics oceans absorb energy on average before it is transported poleward by currents and generally given up to the atmosphere.

These anomalies are then transported by major ocean currents to locations where the stored energy is released into the atmosphere, altering atmospheric pressure and moisture patterns that can ultimately affect regional precipitation.

Or exactly how much heating of the equatorial ocean gets transported to the poles by ocean currents.

The zonal integral (east to west) of wind stress curl across an ocean basin is proportional to the western boundary current transport (i.e., the transport responsible for the dominant part of the poleward heat flux by the ocean).
