Sentences with phrase «warm sea water anomaly»

Firstly confined to warm sea water anomaly areas associated with developing El Nino from June 2014 to beyond October 2014, therefore mainly in the East Pacific — and later also the central tropical Pacific, as the NCEP forecast illustrates:

Not exact matches

Relatively warm waters are now being concentrated (locally the temperature anomaly is as high as +4 C) in the Labrador Sea and adjoining Atlantic waters, between Canada and Greenland, up to Iceland.

An El Nino analysis released by the national weather service last week says sea surface and sub-surface temperature anomalies were consistent with El Niño during December, but the overall atmospheric circulation continued to show only limited coupling with the warm water.

''... worked with two sediment cores they extracted from the seabed of the eastern Norwegian Sea, developing a 1000 - year proxy temperature record «based on measurements of δ18O in Neogloboquadrina pachyderma, a planktonic foraminifer that calcifies at relatively shallow depths within the Atlantic waters of the eastern Norwegian Sea during late summer,» which they compared with the temporal histories of various proxies of concomitant solar activity... This work revealed, as the seven scientists describe it, that «the lowest isotope values (highest temperatures) of the last millennium are seen ~ 1100 - 1300 A.D., during the Medieval Climate Anomaly, and again after ~ 1950 A.D.» In between these two warm intervals, of course, were the colder temperatures of the Little Ice Age, when oscillatory thermal minima occurred at the times of the Dalton, Maunder, Sporer and Wolf solar minima, such that the δ18O proxy record of near - surface water temperature was found to be «robustly and near - synchronously correlated with various proxies of solar variability spanning the last millennium,» with decade - to century - scale temperature variability of 1 to 2 °C magnitude.»

These maps can be used to identify warm anticyclonic features, usually characterized by sea height anomalies and a depth of the 26 °C isotherm larger than their surrounding waters; and to monitor regions of very high (usually larger than 90 kJ cm - 2) TCHP.

The best way to envision the relation between ENSO and precipitation over East Africa is to regard the Indian Ocean as a mirror of the Pacific Ocean sea surface temperature anomalies [much like the Western Hemisphere Warm Pool creates such a SST mirror with the Atlantic Ocean too]: during a La Niña episode, waters in the eastern Pacific are relatively cool as strong trade winds blow the tropically Sun - warmed waters far towards the west.

Part of that leftover warm water (a Rossby wave) is captured in the following animation of sea level anomalies from JPL.

As a result of the leftover warm water, the sea surface temperature anomalies of the Rest - of - the - World appear to shift upwards in response to the strong El Niño events:
