It must be pointed out that in Antarctic fur seals, the pup rearing period occurs during the short subpolar summer. |
|
The westerlies lie on the equatorward side of the semipermanent subpolar centres of low pressure. |
|
Poleward of these centres, the surface winds turn westward again over significant portions of the subpolar latitudes. |
|
Argentina's fauna and flora vary widely from the country's mountainous zones to its dry and humid plains and its subpolar regions. |
|
In the oceans, annual blooms occur during the early spring in middle to high latitudes, especially in subpolar regions. |
|
The seminar will centre on two principal themes: the ecosystem in a subpolar environment and the study of glacier melt. |
|
The subpolar gyre forms an important part of the global thermohaline circulation. |
|
Areas with subpolar oceanic climates feature an oceanic climate but are usually located closer to polar regions. |
|
Northern England has a cool, wet oceanic climate with small areas of subpolar oceanic climate in the uplands. |
|
Shetland has an oceanic, temperate maritime climate bordering on the subpolar variety, with long but cool winters and short mild summers. |
|
This is the dominant guild in polar and subpolar environments, as it is energetically inefficient in warmer waters. |
|
The seminar will focus on climate change in subpolar regions. |
|
Timescales for a first response of the Atlantic to increased freshwater runoff from Greenland were shown to be just a few years for the subpolar North Atlantic and 5-10 years for the Atlantic and global ocean. |
|
At the Montreal Biodome, go from the humid heat of the tropical forest to fresh air of the Laurentian forest, then from the depths of the St. Lawrence River to the subpolar shores. |
|
As extensions of the Gulf Stream, these two currents form the southern edge of the subpolar gyre and the north-eastern edge of the subtropical gyre respectively. |
|
Heading southwards to subpolar Patagonia the climate really depends on how low you go, however it is more often than not cold and rainfall is high. |
|
Although the cause of the NAO is yet unknown, one hypothesis has linked its decadal shifts to the movement of water masses of variable temperature and salinity through the subpolar gyre in the North Atlantic. |
|
Living pinnipeds mainly inhabit polar and subpolar regions, particularly the North Atlantic, the North Pacific and the Southern Ocean. |
|
The source for heat in the Labrador Sea is modified North Atlantic Current water after circulating the subpolar gyre. |
|
Near the poles easterlies created a subpolar gyre that rotated clockwise. |
|
|
The sei whale migrates annually from cool and subpolar waters in summer to winter in temperate and subtropical waters, with a lifespan of 70 years. |
|
In general, the sei whale migrates annually from cool and subpolar waters in summer to temperate and subtropical waters for winter, where food is more abundant. |
|
North of the North Atlantic Gyre, the cyclonic North Atlantic Subpolar Gyre plays a key role in climate variability. |
|
Subpolar circulation in the southern hemisphere is dominated by the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, due to the lack of large landmasses breaking up the Southern Ocean. |
|
Subpolar oceanic climates are less prone to temperature extremes than subarctic climates or continental climates, featuring milder winters than these climates. |
