Subpolar

I weeded my library’s copy of that haunting clowns cover for myself, and I will definitely weed this frigid Hawaiian book (must have been taken in subpolar Hawaii) for my own Awful Library Books personal collection. ❋ Unknown (2010)

Most computer simulations of the ocean system in a climate with increasing atmospheric greenhouse-gas concentrations predict a weakening thermohaline circulation in the North Atlantic as the subpolar seas become fresher and warmer1, 2, 3, and it is assumed that this signal will be transferred to the deep ocean by the two overflows. ❋ Unknown (2010)

They plodded aimlessly and despondent through the subpolar surroundings. ❋ Carol Reid (2010)

Most of the Arctic Ocean is projected to remain icecovered in March, although the March sea ice edge is projected to retreat substantially in the subpolar seas. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The greatest decrease in total column ozone over the Northern Hemisphere high latitudes (7% per decade) occurred in the spring (March – May) over the subpolar regions of Siberia, northern Europe, and the Canadian Arctic. ❋ Unknown (2009)

This collision results in frontal uplift and the creation of the subpolar lows or mid-latitude cyclones. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Arctic sea ice extent, including all subpolar seas except the Baltic, ranges from about 7 million square-kilometers (km2) at its September minimum to about 15 million km2 at its March maximum. ❋ Unknown (2009)

On these modified graphics, we can better visualize the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ), subtropical high pressure zone, and the subpolar lows. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The intensity of the subpolar lows varies with season. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The subpolar lows form a continuous zone of low pressure in the Southern Hemisphere at a latitude of between 50 and 70° (Figures 4 and 5). ❋ Unknown (2009)

The development of the subpolar lows in summer only occurs weakly (Figure 5 - over Greenland and Baffin Island, Canada), unlike the Southern Hemisphere. ❋ Unknown (2009)

In the Northern Hemisphere, the subpolar lows do not form a continuous belt circling the globe (Figures 4 and 5). ❋ Unknown (2009)

The warming varies somewhat from model to model, but is generally larger in the northern-most land areas than in the subpolar land areas. ❋ Unknown (2009)

At high latitudes the return flows include export by ice and transport in low-salinity boundary currents, intermediate water (which forms and sinks along the subpolar fronts), and deep water (which sinks on shelves and in gyres). ❋ Unknown (2009)

Ecosystem essentialsThe Bering Sea is a subpolar sea bounded by the Bering Strait to the north and the Aleutian Islands archipelago to the south (Fig. 13.33). ❋ Unknown (2009)

North of subpolar low belt, summer heating warms subtropical air masses. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The spatial pattern shows an increase from minimum values of 50 cm/yr over parts of the North Atlantic subpolar seas. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Changes in freshwater runoff are likely to affect upper-ocean salinity, sea-ice production, export of freshwater to the North Atlantic subpolar seas, and possibly the thermohaline circulation. ❋ Unknown (2009)

The meeting of the warm subtropical and cold polar air masses at the subpolar low zone enhances frontal uplift and the formation of intense low pressure systems. ❋ Unknown (2009)

These decreases are greatest and statistically significant in autumn and winter, and are compensated by pressure increases over the subpolar oceans. ❋ Unknown (2009)
