Sentences with phrase «winds near the equator»

In normal, non-El Niño conditions, Pacific trade winds near the equator blow from east to west, moving warm surface water with them.

This image shows QBO amplitude near the equator at a height of 11 miles: Observed values from balloon wind measurements from 1950s to present; simulations from a climate model driven with observed concentrations of greenhouse gases from 1900 to 2005 and then with projected increase through 2100.

First, they would need to build a base tower approximately 50 kilometers tall, out of the wind for stability and near the equator for alignment with the geostationary Earth orbit (GEO).

Intense trade winds and strong uppwelling along a region near the equator, known as the cold tongue and caused by Ekman pumping, bringing up cold and nutrient water from the deep sea.

Furthermore, a deeper upper layer of warm surface water may weaken the cold tongue if the Ekman pumping doesn't reach down below the thermocline to bring up colder water, and weakened trade winds would have a similar effect through reduced Ekman pumping near the equator.

Winds have been clocked at 1,800 kilometers per hour (1,118 miles per hour) near Saturn's equator.

Higher water temperatures near the Equator could reduce winds and current, allowing sargassum to accumulate before being carried by currents to the north.

Intense trade winds and strong uppwelling along a region near the equator, known as the cold tongue and caused by Ekman pumping, bringing up cold and nutrient water from the deep sea.

Furthermore, a deeper upper layer of warm surface water may weaken the cold tongue if the Ekman pumping doesn't reach down below the thermocline to bring up colder water, and weakened trade winds would have a similar effect through reduced Ekman pumping near the equator.

Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ)- The Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone is an equatorial zonal belt of low pressure near the equator where the northeast trade winds meet the southeast trade winds.

The Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), is the area encircling the earth near the equator where the northeast and southeast trade winds come together.

The lime green splotches near the equator in each hemisphere depict the trade winds, and the areas from about 35 ° poleward show dominant mid-latitudes westerlies.

15 Heat Transport in the Biosphere The unequal heating of Earth's surface drives winds and ocean currents transport heat throughout the biosphere Winds form because warm air tends to rise and cool air tends to sink air that is heated near the equator winds and ocean currents transport heat throughout the biosphere Winds form because warm air tends to rise and cool air tends to sink air that is heated near the equator Winds form because warm air tends to rise and cool air tends to sink air that is heated near the equator rises

During periods when the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) is located near the Equator, trade winds from the northeast and southeast converge there.

Wind strength is a result of pressure differentials, which near the equator in the Pacific would seem to be defined by temperature differentials over open water between the tropics and the equator.

The Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), known by sailors as the doldrums, is the area encircling Earth near the Equator, where the northeast and southeast trade winds converge.

Hadley Cell A direct, thermally driven overturning cell in the atmosphere consisting of poleward flow in the upper troposphere, subsiding air into the subtropical anticyclones, return flow as part of the trade winds near the surface, and with rising air near the equator in the so - called Intertropical Convergence Zone.

You said, however, that Earth's rotation from west to east affects wind speed (and direction) in both hemispheres, especially near the equator.

(The correct reduced system near the equator is much simpler — a direct balance between the vertical component of the wind and the heating).

The most common reasons for hurricanes to «fail» to form in high SST environments are (a) not enough coriolus effect (near the equator — not likely to change any time soon, (b) wind shear, and (c) too dry an atmosphere.

Discovered in the late 1950s, the quasi-biennial oscillation consists of winds in the stratosphere (at an altitude of roughly 16 — 50 km) in a belt near the equator.

Elsewhere, the ocean is perpetually covered by ice (dark blue colors), except near the equator where winds and ocean currents push sea ice eastward onto the dayside where it breaks up and melts (pale blue to light yellow colors).

(A) In this plan view of the ocean from 5 degrees S to 5 degrees N, the trade winds of the two hemispheres are shown to converge near the equator.
