"Geographic shifts in temperature bands, known as isotherms, in the sea have outpaced those observed on land," William J. Sydeman, one of the report's authors, said in a press release. ❋ By FELICITY BARRINGER (2011)
During the past thirty years the lines marking the regions in which a given average temperature prevails ( "isotherms") have been moving poleward at a rate of about thirty-five miles per decade. ❋ Hansen, Jim (2006)
The dotted lines are called 'isotherms' and they follow the lines of places having the same temperature. ❋ Francis Rolt-Wheeler (1918)
Given the probability that the severity of today's weather is a result of global climate change, we must anticipate that weird weather will continue, ranging from the slow strangulation of drought and shifting isotherms to the rapid trauma of floods, hurricanes, tornados and wildfires. ❋ William S. Becker (2011)
In these the isotherms for every second degree are drawn in broken lines. ❋ Unknown (2009)
This state of things is clearly apparent in the sections, where the isotherms and isohalins run vertically for some way below the surface. ❋ Unknown (2009)
These undulating curves of the isotherms and isohalins are familiar to us in the Norwegian Sea, where they have been shown in most sections taken in recent years. ❋ Unknown (2009)
We see further in both sections, and especially in the southern one, that the isotherms and isohalins often have an undulating course, since the conditions at one station may be different from those at the neighbouring stations. ❋ Unknown (2009)
This, so far as it goes, agrees with the fact that the curves of the isotherms and isohalins are more marked in the more southerly of our two sections than in the more northerly one, which lies 10 or 15 degrees nearer the Equator. ❋ Unknown (2009)
According to Bliss and Matveyeva [5], zonal communities south of the arctic boundary near the mean July isotherms of 10 to 12 °C consist of taiga (i.e., the northern edge of the boreal forest). ❋ Unknown (2009)
However, the horizontal banding of isotherms is somewhat upset by the fact that water heats up more slowly in the summer and cools down more slowly in the winter when compared to land surfaces. ❋ Unknown (2009)
As climate change effects become more pronounced (e.g., degree-day boundaries or mean temperature isotherms shift northward), the more ecologically vagile species are likely to extend their geographic ranges northward [17]. ❋ Unknown (2009)
We see from the sections how nearly the isotherms and isohalins follow each other. ❋ Unknown (2009)
A good point is that the isotherms are constant implying they can handle changing pressure - Bocco ❋ EliRabett (2008)
Can't we be shown some isotherms covering the whole earth? ❋ Unknown (2007)
The SST isotherms are getting pretty packed together in the strait. ❋ Unknown (2007)
However, some assimetry occurs in the isotherms because they are shifted a bit to the eastern edge of the transect. ❋ Unknown (2007)
In other words, were things like the depth of isotherms different between the two periods as in this map, showing the depth of the 26 C isotherm? ❋ Unknown (2006)
The y-axis is depth meters and the colored wiggles are isotherms. ❋ Unknown (2006)
A: I saw our [professor] at the bar [friday night]; he was in the corner, inflicting a Freundlich isotherm on a student.
B: That's gonna burn for [awhile]. ❋ SexInEngineering (2011)
