Fabien Roquet, a Professor in Physical Oceanography at the University of Gothenburg and co-author of the research, said: “This upwelling helps to explain how the sea ice might melt. But as sea ice melts this l
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
Methods in physical geography (study of surface processes) and geology (subsurface processes) are often applied separately. However the governing physical processes are strongly coupled so that an integration of these two disciplines provides a unique opportunity to gain an encompassing understanding of ...
we see that the total variability explained in precipitation anomaly across all seasons and years can exceed 40%, but only over 1% of the land area (Fig.1). In the majority of
Even in one place, the air pressure is constantly changing. That's because Earth is constantly spinning and moving round the Sun, so different parts are being warmed up by different amounts. When the air cools and falls, it increases the pressure nearer to the ground. Regions of high press...
19). We then investigated potential drivers of household food CF, including geography, income, and diet. Our results are based on the 47-prefecture Japanese MRIO model and consider only carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions for almost all of the analysis (with the exception of Figure 4). In ...
Providing a mechanism for dense water to slowly rise from the deep ocean1,2, internal wave-driven vertical mixing is generally believed to be one of the main drivers of the oceanic circulation2,3. It thus shapes the Earth's climate4–6, influencing, among others, sea level rise7, ...
Ekman transport is the phenomenon that wind and water currents do not move in the same direction. Wind blowing across an ocean moves the water with the force of friction. This is further impacted by the rotation of the earth. An...
