The 2007 report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) set aside those concerns with the claim that the temperature-industrialization correlation becomes statistically insignificant if certain atmospheric circulation patterns, also called oscillations, are taken into account. But this claim...
Across the stable density stratification of the abyssal ocean, deep dense water is slowly propelled upward by sustained, though irregular, turbulent mixing. The resulting mean upwelling determines large-scale oceanic circulation properties like heat and
We used a decade-long dataset (2010–2019) of satellite observations of methane to show that tropical terrestrial emissions explain more than 80% of the observed changes in the global atmospheric methane growth rate over this period. Using correlative meteorological analyses, we show strong seasonal...
Examination of atmospheric and oceanic circulations may explain interannual climate variability in the Northern Hemisphere on a seasonal scale. It is crucial to develop more accurate seasonal climate forecasts using both global circulation and sea surface temperature (SST) indices to aid in long-range ...
How does air pressure control the atmospheric circulation? Why do gases deviate from ideal behavior? How does each gas contribute to the greenhouse effect? Explain how changes in the state of water from ice to steam relates to the kinetic theory of matter. ...
Why is global warming affecting the salinity of the world's oceans and why is this important. What effects does this have? How do topography and nearby bodies of water affect rainfall? How are coastal waters and deeper ocean waters polluted? What processes shape the l...
a. Demonstrate that global climate patterns are determined by dynamic energy conditions, such as cloud cover, ocean currents, atmospheric circulation, Earth’s rotation, and the Earth’s various surfaces. b. Demonstrate that global climate patterns are determined by static conditions, such as latitude...
performing photosynthesis, which releases oxygen as a byproduct, is often considered the source of the rapid increase in atmospheric oxygen, which had previously been scarce. But releases of oxygen from upwelling ofdeep mantleFeO2 patches could provide an abiotic explanation for the phenomenon, they...
There are a few potential contributors to the unusually warm year 2023. Anthropogenic factors include background long-term global warming in response to increasing atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations. Reduced sulphate aerosol loading in the atmosphere as a result of ship emission regulations3is a ...
Large-scale fluctuating patterns in oceanic and atmospheric conditions in different parts of the globe can have prominent local, regional and global impacts on climate1,2,3. Where these patterns reoccur over time, they are typically described as modes of variability (MoV)4. Prominent MoV include ...
