«The upwelling of relatively acidic deep water is a natural process, but these waters will become even more acidic in the future.»
There's geological evidence for occasional water upwelling from Europa's subsurface ocean — a process similar to the upwelling of magma from Earth's mantle.
Overlaying social factors, levels of agricultural runoff, local pollution and upwelling, a natural ocean process that brings more corrosive deep ocean water to the surface, helps tease out regional differences in vulnerability.
Dygert said that while it's well known that magma upwelling from the mantle at mid-ocean spreading zones creates new crust, there are many questions on how the process works.
My understanding of this process is that it mostly occurs near coastal upwellings which bring up nutrients from the deep and that it is responsible for a significant fraction of ocean carbon sequestration.
The Humboldt Current Large Marine Ecosystem (off Chile and Peru), the Benguelan Current LME (Namibia and South Africa), the Canary Current LME (Morocco), are the other main upwelling ecosystems, all driven by similar oceanographic and atmospheric processes, all on the eastern sides of ocean basins (western sides of continents).
increased CO -LCB- sub 2 -RCB- by using ocean models that include realistic processes such as horizontal heat transport, vertical mixing due to convection and small - scale processes, and upwelling along coastal regions and the equator.
This water rises in warmer regions through a process called upwelling.
The circulation is asymmetric, with conversion to dense waters in restricted regions at high latitudes and the return to the surface involving slow upwelling and diffusive processes over much larger geographic regions.
The persistent upwelling of cold water in the eastern tropical Pacific would have reduced cloud cover there, via reduced oceanic evaporation, and thus allowed more of the sun's energy to enter the tropical ocean - this would have aided the ocean warming process, as generally the case when the tropical ocean is cooler - than - normal.
The «greenhouse gases heat the Earth by 33 °C it would be without them by trapping upwelling heat from the Earth» is a magicians sleight of hand, created by taking out the process of the Water Cycle to get to the 15 °C.
... Cloud formation is influenced by countless processes... the presence of cloud condensation nuclei, the temperature lapse rate and temperature inversions, wind shear, the presence of fronts, changes in ocean upwelling, to name a few.
As warmer surface waters are carried away by this offshore ocean airflow, cold water from below the thermocline rises to the surface in a process called upwelling.
After all a slightly less cold upwelling entering the ENSO process from below would manifest itself in warming at the surface (and vice versa) and that would help to account for the apparent disjunction between the strengths of the La Nina and El Nino phases in your article.
But you suggested that the 1995/96 rise in Tropical Pacific OHC may have come from below the 700 meter level, when you wrote, «After all a slightly less cold upwelling entering the ENSO process from below would manifest itself in warming at the surface (and vice versa) and that would help to account for the apparent disjunction between the strengths of the La Nina and El Nino phases in your article.»
Supports the hunch that there are long - term persistent processes (ocean upwelling?
Several physical variables and biological processes drive this variability in pH, including temperature, salinity, upwelling, water currents, river runoff, sea ice melt, photosynthesis, respiration, calcification and dissolution.
We don't know whether or not natural sinks have grown in recent decades... — McKinley et al., 2017 «The sum of the available evidence indicates that variability in the ocean carbon sink is significant and is driven primarily by physical processes of upwelling, convection, and advection.
However, the conditions predicted for the open ocean may not reflect the future conditions in the coastal zone, where many of these organisms live (Hendriks et al. 2010a, b; Hofmann et al. 2011; Kelly and Hofmann 2012), and results derived from changes in pH in coastal ecosystems often include processes other than OA, such as emissions from volcanic vents, eutrophication, upwelling and long - term changes in the geological cycle of CO2, which commonly involve simultaneous changes in other key factors affecting the performance of calcifiers, thereby confounding the response expected from OA by anthropogenic CO2 alone.
«All these processes give a taste of the complex interaction between sea ice, biological productivity, and deep water upwelling as mechanisms controlling CO2 outgassing in the Southern Ocean, particularly at the Antarctic Polar Front, where they are strongly coupled.»
«To explain in a little more detail: Biology - driven processes in the Southern Ocean (e.g., biological pump efficiency) make this area potentially an even bigger sink than what is described in the article, which focusses on physical processes (i.e., upwelling of «old» deep water).
If there is, concurrently to this process, a reduction in the rate of cooling of the mixed layer to the atmosphere and to space (radiative + latent + sensible), then this will offset upwelling cooling of the mixed layers while the deeper layers will still gain heat unabated (or even at an increased rate).
Upwelling is a crucial process because it provides the raw nutrients for phytoplankton to grow, creating a rich source of food for filter feeders and small fish and, in turn, larger fish and other organisms higher up the food chain.
