Sentences with phrase «water density»

The change in water density per degree temperature is greater at high temperatures than at lower temperatures.

Light of this wavelength decreases water density and pushes water out of the cell.

Wind, different temperatures, and different water density, the latter caused by different amounts of salt content drive water movement.

This is the sea level rise due to a change in sea water density, mostly due to thermal expansion and hence a measure of changing ocean heat.

The former are caused by faster water loss and higher cloud bottoms with warming and the latter by increased cloud water density with warming.

The fact that water density alone, at surface and even at depth would resist movement of «heat» downward is a physical property well observed.

«The range at which a ping can be heard depends on many environmental factors like background noise, changes of water density that cause ping refraction and shielding by seabed features including the wreckage itself,» he warns.

Salinity changes water density too and allows warmer more saline water to sink beneath colder fresher water.

That's because water density changes with temperature.

The most common means of slowing AMOC involves the reduction of oceanic surface water density via an increase in freshwater discharge to the North Atlantic.

Because different water densities meet at the halocline and both organic and inorganic particulates accumulate there, it's an intriguing place, chemically speaking.

Rutgers University's RU27 — aka The Scarlet Knight, after the school's mascot — is gliding across the Atlantic via the Gulf Stream current, measuring temperature, salinity and water density along the way, reports Wired.

In 16 ″ of snow with medium water density the Grand Cherokee Trailhawk's 4X4 system was brilliant and the tires a superb choice by Jeep.

But, the flipside of this is that changes in the thermohaline circulation patterns can alter local water densities, and hence local water volumes, i.e., local sea levels.

Ocean water density depends on its temperature and its salinity.

Wave energy then follows from the product of water density, acceleration of gravity and wave variance.

These cycles now appear to result from interactions between the atmosphere, oceans, ice sheets, and continental rivers that influence thermohaline circulation (the pattern of ocean currents driven by differences in water density, salinity, and temperature, rather than wind).

Of course convection occurs only during a few days in the year when the highest surface water densities can be reached, but the THC operates on longer time scales, it responds to the mean fluxes sustained over a number of years.

The secret is in the water densities.

They analyzed data collected from 1981 to 2015 by the local Ruhr region agency that monitors drinking water, and were able to document the rising carbon dioxide levels over time by factoring in changes in temperature, water density, pH, ion species distribution and total inorganic content.

«Instead, we saw peaks in the water density and, a couple of hours later, in the carbon dioxide measurements.»

A previous study by Zhang showed that changes in water density could explain the remaining increase.

Not only is it a party in your mouth, but it's also a gift to your gut due to its high nutrient content, water density, and prebiotic nature.

The altimeter data provides a measure of the heat and salt content of the water, but because the water density is a complicated non-linear function of temperature and salinity, it is difficult to invert the measurements to infer the salinity.

We saw in Section 2 that water densities (and hence volume) are quite variable throughout the oceans.

sea level changes induced by changes in water density are called steric.

Sea level change - Sea level can change, both globally and locally, due to (i) changes in the shape of the ocean basins, (ii) changes in the total mass of water and (iii) changes in water density.
