Sentences with phrase «wind bursts»

Now as the sun appears to be entering a long term minimum the solar wind bursts should drop off, in frequency and magnitude.

After westerly wind bursts occurred in the spring of 2015, this extra warm water acted to give a head start to the developing El Niño and contributed to the strength of the 2015 - 16 El Niño event.

Changes to the strength of the heliosphere which modulates GCR, solar wind bursts which remove cloud forming ions, and a third mechanism.

Following a large westerly wind burst in February 2014, buzz developed that a strong El Niño event would occur in the following winter.

Comment: The sun is hypothesized to modulate planetary cloud cover by the heliosphere's modulation of the GCR and by the solar wind bursts remove of cloud forming ions via the process electroscavenging.

But then, in the spring of 2015, episodes of very strong westerly wind bursts occurred and became more frequent throughout the summer.

It withstood some crazy 50mph wind bursts on my second night on Grandfather Mtn., NC recently and was not phased a bit.

But by early summer, the westerly wind bursts stopped rather abruptly, prematurely shutting down the complex chain of self - reinforcing feedbacks that need to be in place for an El Niño event to develop and fully mature.

These westerly wind bursts sometimes generate long waves called Kelvin waves, which travel east along the equator at about 2.5 meters per second.

The models can hold up against a 200 - mile - per - hour wind burst, would be much less expensive to insure and cost about 70 percent less to heat and cool, Rogge said.

The feedbacks (Westerly Wind Bursts and general weakening of the trade winds) are going to have to kick in if that's going to happen.

During the typical El Niño, the warm phase of that oscillation, the trade winds weaken, and episodic westerly wind bursts in the western equatorial Pacific generate internal waves into the ocean.

See section 5a) Modulation of the global circuit in this review paper, by solar wind burst and the process electroscavenging where by increases in the global electric circuit remove cloud forming ions.

The system is «charged up», and El Niño events are then initiated by a «kick» (eg the Madden - Julian Oscillation or westerly wind bursts).

The solar wind burst is expected to deliver only a «glancing blow» to Earth's magnetic field, but such currents can trip key transmission lines and damage transformers irreversibly

Katsaros, K.B., A.M. Mestas - Nuñez, A. Bentamy, E.B. Forde, 2003: Wind bursts and enhanced evaporation in th tropical and subtropical Atlantic Ocean.

New research shows how easterly winds in the summer of 2014 caused the anomalously warm subsurface water of the tropical Pacific — which presages an El Niño event and formed following the early 2014 westerly wind burst — to never discharge poleward, thereby remaining in the tropical Pacific and giving a head start to the developing 2015 - 16 El Niño.

Specifically, the winds caused the anomalously warm subsurface water of the tropical Pacific — which presages an El Niño event and formed following the early 2014 westerly wind burst — to never discharge poleward, thereby remaining in the tropical Pacific.

Solar wind bursts (caused by coronal holes moving towards the solar equator for example, particularly at the end of the solar cycle.)

Westerly wind bursts have intensified and spread eastward over time, and tropical Pacific SSTs have risen dramatically.

Westerly wind bursts — which encourage warming of the ocean surface in the central and eastern Pacific, and which had been largely absent in recent years — started to increase in frequency and magnitude.
