Sentences with phrase «with sea ice formation»

Top panels: 50 % annual sea ice concentration (dashed blue line) and buoyancy fluxes, where negative values (blue shading) are associated with sea ice formation; note that these areas expand equatorward in the LGM simulation.

Quick recovery is consistent with the Southern Ocean - centric picture of the global overturning circulation (Fig. 4; Talley, 2013), as the Southern Ocean meridional overturning circulation (SMOC), driven by AABW formation, responds to change in the vertical stability of the ocean column near Antarctica (Sect. 3.7) and the ocean mixed layer and sea ice have limited thermal inertia.

When combined with increased ocean stratification due to this enhanced run off [11], sea - surface temperatures are depressed, encouraging sea - ice formation.

As sea levels rose during the last Ice Age, the cave flooded and its roof collapsed into this sinkhole resulting in a marine wonder known for its sparkling blue waters, wealth of coral formations, sharks and fish, and deep caves filled with stalactites.

These models consist of connected sub-modules that deal with radiative transfer, the circulation of the atmosphere and oceans, the physics of moist convection and cloud formation, sea ice, soil moisture and the like.

When the sea - ice coverage further decreases they become associated with (irregular) deepwater formation.

Arctic winter formation has been largely hit by advection from cyclones easily punching through what was once a mighty fortress of cold air living in a physical symbiosis with much thicker sea ice.

The paper, combining evidence of driftwood accumulation and beach formation in northern Greenland with evidence of past sea - ice extent in parts of Canada, concludes that Arctic sea ice appears to have retreated far more in some spans since the end of the last ice age than it has in recent years.

Boundary layers came with the formation of sea ice.

Experts with the National Snow and Ice Data Center say formation of sea ice around the Arctic Ocean probably petered out about two weeks aIce Data Center say formation of sea ice around the Arctic Ocean probably petered out about two weeks aice around the Arctic Ocean probably petered out about two weeks ago.

Negative delta C - 13 (as) values in glacial AABW were likely caused by poor ventilation during formation, probably associated with extensive sea ice coverage.

The researchers show that models simulating strong LGM sea ice formation also exhibit enhanced stratification and a shallower Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), largely consistent with the geological evidence.

Thus, two - thirds of the 180 m sea - level change between the ice - free planet and the LGM occurred with formation of Northern Hemisphere ice (and probably some increased volume of Antarctic ice).

With the use of a climate model of intermediate complexity, we demonstrate that with mwp - 1A originating from the Antarctic Ice Sheet, consistent with recent sea - level fingerprinting inferences, the strength of North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) formation increases, thereby warming the North Atlantic region and providing an explanation for the onset of the Bølling - Allerød warm interWith the use of a climate model of intermediate complexity, we demonstrate that with mwp - 1A originating from the Antarctic Ice Sheet, consistent with recent sea - level fingerprinting inferences, the strength of North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) formation increases, thereby warming the North Atlantic region and providing an explanation for the onset of the Bølling - Allerød warm interwith mwp - 1A originating from the Antarctic Ice Sheet, consistent with recent sea - level fingerprinting inferences, the strength of North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) formation increases, thereby warming the North Atlantic region and providing an explanation for the onset of the Bølling - Allerød warm interwith recent sea - level fingerprinting inferences, the strength of North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) formation increases, thereby warming the North Atlantic region and providing an explanation for the onset of the Bølling - Allerød warm interval.
