Sentences with phrase «weaker winds»

While some periods of weak winds occurred in 2014, not all of them led to warm anomalies.

«Typically, when you get very strong storms like Harvey, Maria and Irma, they form in the tropical Atlantic, the Gulf of Mexico or the Caribbean Sea in an area of weak wind shear» — conditions which crank out storms that are not fast - moving and stay together for longer periods of time — Bell explains.

Detailed radio images reveal a banana - shaped region where fierce winds from a star nearing its death (upper right) collide with weaker winds from a large companion star (shown here at three different positions during its 8 - year orbit).

Instead, weaker wind flow aloft, despite the upper - level system limping east from California, will be in play.

The arrival of weaker winds in the northern hemisphere as a result of global warming could cause average windfarm output to fall by around 10 % in the UK and 14 % in the US by 2100, the lead author tells Carbon Brief.

Phytoplankton production is enhanced by strong winds (because they cause upwelling of nutrients from deeper waters) and diminished by weaker winds, and the scientists found evidence that trade winds were weaker then.

Early in the year, weak winds failed to stir the Pacific as much as usual.

As a result, during the winter monsoon season, eastern China experiences weaker winds when there's less natural dust in the air.

«A very strong ridge of high pressure in the upper atmosphere has made for very weak wind shear from just east of the Caribbean islands all the way to the U.S..

In the summer, the SLP contrast is smaller, producing weaker winds.

Different wind patterns across months — such as the particularly weak winds in November — also influenced how the oscillation developed.

Storms with weaker winds are more likely to stall and dump heavier rainfall.

As it churned west, it picked up steam and finally exploded into a Category 5 beast on Sept. 5 thanks to a perfect combination of weather ingredients: weak wind shear; warm, deep ocean water; and high levels moisture in the air, according to Weather Underground meteorologist Jeff Masters.

September is a month of weak winds but torrential downpours.

These effects are reflected in the ocean surface, which is generally smooth underneath the weak winds of the wake and rough under the strong winds outside the wake.

Most stars of such immensity would have more heavy elements, causing them to lose much of their mass via high - speed winds whereas «low metallicity» stars would have weaker winds and keep more of their star stuff, ultimately ending their lives by collapsing to become overlarge stellar black holes.

Haze due to weak winds and air pollution is reducing surface solar radiation in China, which has major consequences for the climate, the environment and the economy.

Global warming is desiccating the region in two ways: higher temperatures that increase evaporation in already parched soils, and weaker winds that bring less rain from the Mediterranean Sea during the wet season (November to April).

That reduces the temperature differential in winter between sea and the land, resulting in weaker winds — and increased air stagnation.

It can take up to 1,000 years for dunes to move just a few meters on Mars, largely due to the planet?s apparent lack of moving surface water, weak winds and thin atmosphere, said the study?s author Eric Parteli.

The result, researchers said, are weaker winds that only rarely reach strengths capable of moving Martian dunes.

While some regions will experience warmer winters, others might see more rain, or no rain, or less snow, or stronger hurricanes, or weaker winds.

Such upwelling failures are associate with warmer waters, altered currents, and weaker winds, all predicted to happen more frequently in climate models.

This is a result of a weaker wind - driven ocean circulation, when a large decrease in heat transported to the deep ocean allows the surface ocean to warm quickly, and this in turn raises global surface temperatures.

What that means is while severe thunderstorms and some tornadoes are possible in the Plains this week, the weaker wind flow aloft may keep this episode from reaching a full - fledged, widespread outbreak [of tornadoes] that May is so notorious for.

Characteristic features of «accelerated warming decades» are anomalous cooling on the surface of the North Atlantic subpolar gyre (a clockwise circulating gyre south of Greenland), and cooling of all the subtropical ocean gyres as they begin to spin - down in response to the weak wind - forcing.

Previously during the negative phase of the AAO, weaker winds are typically forced to go around the mountainous peninsula.

Storms with weaker winds are more likely to stall and dump heavier rainfall.

Global warming's effects will vary tremendously by location, however, fueling in some regions more rain or less, stronger or weaker winds and even possibly colder temperatures at the bottom of the planet.

While some regions will experience warmer winters, others might see more rain, or no rain, or less snow, or stronger hurricanes, or weaker winds.

Weak wind shear, associated with the end of El Niño in the Pacific, means that storms are less likely to be disrupted.
