Sentences with phrase «with oceanic circulation»

Not exact matches

All this modelling work, combined with in situ measurements (oceanographic campaigns recently carried out as part of the AMOP project) help improve our understanding of the interactions between biogeochemistry, atmospheric circulation and oceanic circulation.

The Malaspina Expedition, led by the Spanish National Research Council, has demonstrated that there are five large accumulations of plastic debris in the open ocean that match with the five major twists of oceanic surface water circulation.

At that time, changes in atmospheric - oceanic circulation led to a stratification in the ocean with a cold layer at the surface and a warm layer below.

Variations in regional precipitation and temperature have long been determined to be strongly correlated with natural oceanic - atmospheric circulation patterns, or oscillations.

-LSB-...] Variations in regional precipitation and temperature have long been determined to be strongly correlated with natural oceanic - atmospheric circulation patterns, or oscillations.

This is the first part of a planned mini-series of 3 posts on tropical climate, circulation, and oceanic response in conjunction with a global warming.

In the case of oceans the energy does penetrate the surface layers and is often carried away for eventual release elsewhere and at another time, depending on the ocean currents and other internal oceanic mechanisms such as the flow of the Thermohaline Circulation with a period of more than 800 years for a full circuit.

The project will also analyze changes in oceanic circulation and processes in an ice - depleted Arctic Ocean, and in its interactions with the sub arctic oceans.

In fact, they may do so more efficiently than more uniform temperature change; warming one hemisphere with respect to the other is an excellent way of pulling monsoonal circulations and oceanic ITCZs towards the warm hemisphere (the last few years have seen numerous studies of this response, relevant for ice ages and aerosol forcing as well as the response to high latitude internal variability; Chiang and Bitz, 2005 is one of the first to discuss this, in the ice age context; I'll try to return to this topic in a future post.)

Three of these five intervals coincided with multidecadal hemispheric climate - regime shifts, which were characterized by a switch between distinct atmospheric and oceanic circulation patterns, a reversal of NHT trend, and by altered character of ENSO variability.

Sea ice with its strong seasonal and interannual variability (Fig. 1) is a very critical component of the Arctic system that responds sensitively to changes in atmospheric circulation, incoming radiation, atmospheric and oceanic heat fluxes, as well as the hydrological cycle1, 2.

Such oceanic temperature as now subsists would probably be a historical inheritance from a long past state possibly at the end of the last ice age when it was reset by a combination of changed energy throughput from the sun plus the resistor effect of the oceans and air combined with the then state of the air circulation.

The most likely candidate for that climatic variable force that comes to mind is solar variability (because I can think of no other force that can change or reverse in a different trend often enough, and quick enough to account for the historical climatic record) and the primary and secondary effects associated with this solar variability which I feel are a significant player in glacial / inter-glacial cycles, counter climatic trends when taken into consideration with these factors which are, land / ocean arrangements, mean land elevation, mean magnetic field strength of the earth (magnetic excursions), the mean state of the climate (average global temperature), the initial state of the earth's climate (how close to interglacial - glacial threshold condition it is) the state of random terrestrial (violent volcanic eruption, or a random atmospheric circulation / oceanic pattern that feeds upon itself possibly) / extra terrestrial events (super-nova in vicinity of earth or a random impact) along with Milankovitch Cycles.

Variability associated with these latter processes, generally referred to as natural long - term climate variability, arises primarily from changes in oceanic circulation.

Any variability in oceanic circulation could have strong effects on local, and hence average temperature, even with a fixed energy budget.

However, with the new evidence that changes in atmospheric and thus oceanic circulation may have obscured changes in sea level (http://environment.newscientist.com/article/dn12547-flatter-oceans-may-have-caused-1920s-sea-rise.html), is there any evidence that the previously apparently static sea levels caused groups to self - censor data on ice sheet melting?

The great oceanic circulation will change too with highly unpredictable consequences.

Volodin, E. M., Dianskii, N. A. & Gusev, A. V. Simulating present - day climate with the INMCM4.0 coupled model of the atmospheric and oceanic general circulations.

Tides were not likely to interact with the oceanic general circulation and thus on the climate's low frequency dynamic.

In this paper, it is shown that coherent large - scale low - frequency variabilities in the North Atlantic Ocean — that is, the variations of thermohaline circulation, deep western boundary current, northern recirculation gyre, and Gulf Stream path — are associated with high - latitude oceanic Great Salinity Anomaly events.
