Sentences with phrase «water mass shifts»

During periods of extreme ice coverage, water mass shifts to the poles.

I have a special interest in plankton interactions with the physical environment; looking for quantitative and mechanistic links to current structure, water mass shifts, seasonal cycles, interannual variability, climate - related signals, wind forcing, etc..

Not exact matches

Models suggest that rising sea levels will shift water towards the poles, drawing mass in closer to the Earth's axis and making it spin faster.

A planet whose mass is changing is like a wobbly hand, causing its axis to shift and the water to spill out.

The study also found that the warming of the upper 300 meters (roughly 1,000 feet) of the Northwest Atlantic increases salinity due to a change in water mass distribution related to a retreat of the colder, fresher Labrador Current and a northerly shift of the warmer, saltier Gulf Stream.

Power Transmission Six - speed gearbox with sequential jaw - type shift; compressed oil lubrication; oil / water heat exchanger; single - mass flywheel; hydraulic disengagement lever; 5.5 - inch three - plate sintered metal clutch; limited - slip differential 40/60 %; rear - wheel drive.

The sea was scarcely visible but made its disposition known; as the hull shifted, the starboard side dropped down and a mass of water rose up clubbing the side.

Thus it appears that disruption of deep water formation in the North Atlantic, via a blob of colder fresher water coming off of Greenland, would not «shut down» or even affect the Gulf Stream net mass transport at all, but instead would shift its northern return flow southwards, with many severe regional consequences.

Once this La Nina faded, sea levels rebounded sharply, and that rise might have been incorrectly interpreted as some rapid acceleration in the long - term sea level rise, when in fact, mass was shifting back from land to ocean as rainfall patterns changed once more, but also much of the excess water on the land was draining back to the oceans.

More than anything, this Grace data adds great credibility to the idea of filtering out these shorter - term ENSO effects in the shifts of water mass between ocean and land and back again.

when the ocean is warm and the arctic is open, it snows more and moves water mass from the oceans and adds ice mass on land and the axis does shift.

The paleoclimate record suggests that these transitions were accompanied by changes in the ocean's water mass distribution, which likely played a key role in the glacial - interglacial shifts themselves, by affecting ocean carbon storage and thus atmospheric CO2 concentrations.
