Sentences with phrase «warm conveyor belt»

It does ascend, but much less so than the air in the warm conveyor belt, so it always lies beneath the warm air.

The sharpening of pressure gradient (reduction in the isobar separation) associated with the warm conveyor belt is usually obvious on a synoptic chart.

Dr. Sue Gray, from the University of Reading, replies «It's more true to think of the warm conveyor belt as a hoover extracting air from the top of the boundary layer.

Not exact matches

The incoming water, part of the global conveyor belt of currents circulating throughout the oceans, is relatively warm and salty compared with the rest of the Southern Ocean.

The simulations suggest that over decades, these warming events dramatically perturb the ocean surface, affecting the flow of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, a system of currents that acts like a conveyor belt moving water around the planet.

For decades, research on climate variations in the Atlantic has focused almost exclusively on the role of ocean circulation as the main driver, specifically the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, which carries warm water north in the upper layers of the ocean and cold water south in lower layers like a large conveyor belt.

Upon arrival we get in line and go up, where a kind of conveyor belt takes us one by one to the mud bath, after which we get a simple massage in the warm blubber.

I was formerly somewhat skeptical about the notion that the ocean «conveyor belt» circulation pattern could weaken abruptly in response to global warming.

It releases more than it absorbs because of ocean conveyor belt circulation pulling in tropically warmed water.

This failure is thought to be one of the primary drivers in the disruption of the warm, salty conveyor belt that keeps Europe's western reaches so mild.

The cold conveyor belt lies ahead of and beneath the warm frontal surface in the cold air.

During his study, Wallace Broecker discovered that the currents in the Atlantic Ocean sort of work like a conveyor belt, bringing warm water up from the equator and sending cold water down to the equator.

The influx could slow down or shut off the North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) formation, the driving factor behind the conveyor belt current known as thermohaline circulation, which brings large amounts of warm water to the North Atlantic region.

As part of the planet's reciprocal relationship between ocean circulation and climate, this conveyor belt transports warm surface water to high latitudes where the water warms the air, then cools, sinks, and returns towards the equator as a deep flow.»

In the Atlantic Ocean, the Gulf Stream is part of what's called the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, a conveyor belt of ocean water that carries warm water from Florida to Greenland where it cools and sinks to 1000 meters or more before traveling back down the coast to the tropics.

Because of the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, the oceanic «conveyor belt» that sends warmer waters into the North Atlantic could abruptly shut down.

They flush the cooled surface waters down into the ocean depths, part of a giant conveyor belt that brings more warm surface water into the far north.

The second paragraph of The Independent's article on the Nature study stated, «Disruption to the conveyor - belt mechanism that carries warm water to Britain's shores was the basis of the Hollywood disaster movie The Day After Tomorrow.»

Vertical diffusivity of the mixed layer into the thermocline, one way from warm mixed layer to cold abyss because of 2LoT, is the most reasonable explanation if we discount conveyor belt speed increase.

Accelerated oceanic conveyor belt can't be hidden because the warm side travels the surface out of the tropics and can be sounded cheaply.

As Arctic Ice decreases it exposes more warm water from the tropics carried up by the oceanic conveyor belt.

The AMOC is known as the «global conveyor belt» because it brings warm water and temperatures to the eastern US and Europe, and recycles cold water from northern latitudes back down to the tropics.

Depending on how the continents are arranged the global ocean conveyor belt changes and having a land mass over a pole blocks warm water from getting at the ice to melt it.

Essentially, the study proposes that climate feedbacks could work completely and totally against us, as warm water becomes trapped on top of a layer of colder Antarctic waters due to a near total shutdown in the global ocean conveyor belt, which circulates ocean heat from the coast of Antarctica to Newfoundland.
