The word "advection" in example sentences

The low center at around 5000 feet passes to our north with little or no warm air advection to transport much moisture into the region. ❋ Wes Junker (2011)

Also, instead of having the 850 mb (5000 ft) cyclonic (low pressure) circulation pass just to our south, the strong northern stream initially keeps any circulation at 850 mb well to our northwest so the region ends up in a broad region of warm air advection (winds from the south) which leads to warming. ❋ Wes Junker (2011)

The GFS, NAM and the latest European model all predict a period of light precipitation in association with warm air advection well out ahead of the main storm late Monday into Tuesday. ❋ Wes Junker (2011)

The system has very little upper level energy with most of its lift being supplied by warm advection winds from the south. ❋ Wes Junker (2010)

Satellite imagery of the President's Day storm indicated all the bright clouds and precipitation associated with the warm advection were shifting out to sea mostly south of DC and that the city might only add another inch of snow to the four that had fallen earlier in the evening. ❋ Wes Junker (2010)

Nonetheless, both models now are showing a period of moderate to strong warm air advection winds coming in from the south increasing moisture. ❋ Wes Junker (2010)

This warm advection is the reason we should see snow but once it moves through the snow should end late tomorrow afternoon or early in the evening. ❋ Wes Junker (2010)

The low level flow ahead of the Great Lakes low is fairly weak at that time which will keep the low level warm advection and mixing to a minimum which could allow surface temperatures in the colder suburbs to remain near or below freezing at the precipitation's onset. ❋ Wes Junker (2010)

The magenta circle shows the area of warm advection. ❋ Wes Junker (2010)

Low level cold advection (a precipitation inhibitor) will be battling the dynamics associated with the upper trough (a precipitation producer). ❋ Wes Junker (2010)

Where the winds (flag shaped symbols) are blowing across the temperature lines is where warm advection and lifting is taking place (right hand side of the figure below). ❋ Wes Junker (2010)

However, all the models show any precipitation associated with this feature drying out as it crosses the mountains and there's no moist flow from the south warm air advection to generate the lift necessary for much snow to develop. ❋ Jason Samenow (2010)

Zooplankton densities may be affected by advection in certain shelf locations such as the Barents and Chukchi Seas. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The retention to export ratio also depends upon the advection and temperature preferences of grazing zooplankton, which together determine the degree of match or mismatch between primary and secondary production. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Wind-driven advection patterns of larvae may be critical as well as a match/mismatch in the timing of zooplankton production and fish larval production. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Fish production patterns are also very likely to be affected, although there are large uncertainties regarding the timing and location of zooplankton and benthic production that serve as prey resources for fish growth, and the wind advection patterns and direction that favor survival of some fish species relative to others. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Furthermore, the role that lateral advection plays in establishing the underlying halocline structure of the Arctic Ocean must also be considered. ❋ Unknown (2009)

There are also indications that at least some of the decrease in ice thickness is a consequence of variations in the wind-driven advection of sea ice and that increases in ice thickness in unsampled regions (e.g., offshore of the Canadian Archipelago) may partially offset the decreases in the central Arctic Ocean detected in the 1990s [24]. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Both problems are apparently overcome by the application of semi-Lagrangian schemes for moisture advection, which are used in a number of atmospheric general circulation models (AGCMs). ❋ Unknown (2009)

The decadal-scale patterns in recruitment success for winter-spawning flatfish (Fig. 9.29) may be associated with decadal shifts in the Aleutian low pressure system that affects cross-shelf advection patterns of larvae to favorable nursery areas rather than with water temperature [70]. ❋ Unknown (2009)
