Sentences with phrase «warm surface temperatures linked»

Not exact matches

Those weather patterns are linked to warmer surface temperatures in the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, respectively, and correlated with the timing of observed floods on the lower Mississippi.

Their results suggest a drop of as much as 10 degrees for fresh water during the warm season and 6 degrees for the atmosphere in the North Atlantic, giving further evidence that the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide and Earth's surface temperature are inextricably linked.

The reason could be linked to rising sea surface temperatures — fueled in part by global warming — as seen in ocean buoy data collected along the U.S. coast.

Analysing surface temperature data for 1979 - 2015, they link a warm Arctic during March to colder - than - average temperatures over northern regions of North America and dry conditions in central southern areas between March and May.

In contrast to historical droughts, future drying is not linked to any particular pattern of change in sea surface temperature but seems to be the result of an overall surface warming driven by rising greenhouse gases.

For most recent sampling see: New Peer - Reviewed Study finds «Solar changes significantly alter climate» (11-3-07)(LINK) & «New Peer - Reviewed Study Halves the Global Average Surface Temperature Trend 1980 — 2002» (LINK) & New Study finds Medieval Warm Period «0.3 C Warmer than 20th Century» (LINK) For a more comprehensive sampling of peer - reviewed studies earlier in 2007 see «New Peer - Reviewed Scientific Studies Chill Global Warming Fears» LINK]

Because there is a strong link between infra - red radiation and temperature, one probable adjustment would be a warming of the surface and the lower atmosphere.

If you read it closely, you will see that there is nothing in the NASA link you cited that refutes the observed fact that global average surface temperature has stopped warming since 2001 or 1998.

The satellite data does raise some issues — for example it shows that the link between tropospheric and surface level temperatures is not as tight as was once thought, but the idea that it represents serious evidence against the hypothesis of human - induced global warming has been thoroughly refuted.

Indeed, cod have already been negatively affected.3, 10 The shifts in plankton ecosystems linked to warmer surface temperatures have produced a poor food environment for young cod (larvae), reducing the chances that they will survive until they are large enough to be harvested.10

This can be affected by warming temperatures, but also by changes in snowfall, increases in solar radiation absorption due to a decrease in cloud cover, and increases in the water vapor content of air near the earth's surface.2, 14,15,16,17 In Cordillera Blanca, Peru, for example, one study of glacier retreat between 1930 and 1950 linked the retreat to a decline in cloud cover and precipitation.18

During that same period, average annual rainfall in New South Wales declined by 3.6 inches (92 millimeters).3 Scientists think the decline in autumn rainfall in southeast Australia since the late 1950s may be partly due to increases in heat - trapping gases in Earth's atmosphere.3, 14 Major bushfires over southeast Australia are linked to the positive phase of an ocean cycle called the «Indian Ocean Dipole» — when sea surface temperatures are warmer than average in the western Indian Ocean, likely in response to global warming.15, 16

Link to paper: Big Jump of Record Warm Global Mean Surface Temperature in 2014 - 2016 Related to Unusually Large Oceanic Heat Releases

Steve Fitzpatrick says: «It is an real contribution to link the ENSO to the AMO (this gives the AMO a more solid rational for influencing global temperatures), but it is I think unwise to suggest that ENSO driven cycles are (rather than could possibly be) responsible for most of the observed ocean surface warming since 1900.»

It is an real contribution to link the ENSO to the AMO (this gives the AMO a more solid rational for influencing global temperatures), but it is I think unwise to suggest that ENSO driven cycles are (rather than could possibly be) responsible for most of the observed ocean surface warming since 1900.

This study differs from earlier research into possible links between hurricanes and warmer sea surface temperatures by looking as well at the effect of warmer air.

Global warming also increases both the risk and intensity of hurricanes — which are dependent on sea surface temperatures — and the hazards of flooding, because global warming is linked to sea level rise.

How hurricanes develop also depends on how the local atmosphere responds to changes in local sea surface temperatures, and this atmospheric response depends critically on the cause of the change.23, 24 For example, the atmosphere responds differently when local sea surface temperatures increase due to a local decrease of particulate pollution that allows more sunlight through to warm the ocean, versus when sea surface temperatures increase more uniformly around the world due to increased amounts of human - caused heat - trapping gases.18, 25,26,27 So the link between hurricanes and ocean temperatures is complex.

Solar activity certainly affects surface temperatures (as your link suggests), but it's obviously not caused the trend in warming.

Emanuel, a recent convert to the theory of global warming, had just concluded research that found a link between rising sea - surface temperatures and the increasing destructiveness of hurricanes.

«What you can do is show an unambiguous link between the increase in hurricane intensity and the warming sea surface temperatures.

Recent studies have found a large, sudden increase in observed tropical cyclone intensities, linked to warming sea surface temperatures that may be associated with global warming (1 - 3).

Towards the end of his presentation he added: «Some research suggests global warming is linked to rising ocean and sea surface temperatures in the tropical Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico — which may have an impact on hurricane intensity.

Both weather forecasters and climate experts have linked the high snowfall amounts to the exceptionally warm sea surface temperatures off the east coast.

The team's findings are controversial because they draw a connection between stronger hurricanes and rising sea surface temperatures — a phenomenon that has itself already been linked to human - induced global warming.

In August 2005, Emanuel published a paper in the journal Nature that linked rising North Atlantic and North Pacific sea surface temperatures, possibly from global warming, to fiercer hurricanes in the previous 30 years.

As shown in the above linked essay, there is nothing in the ocean heat content data or satellite - era sea surface temperature data to indicate that manmade greenhouse gases have had any impact on the warming of the global oceans.
