Alternatives: "nearly simultaneous" or "almost concurrent".
But Buizert and co-workers' study suggests that superimposed on these slow ocean changes were an almost synchronous northward shift in the westerly winds circling Antarctica when Greenland moved into its warm phase — and, vice versa, a southward shift in these winds during cool Greenland events.
The dates of these phylogenetic events follow a well-studied phase of volcanism and strong rifting initiated at approximately 24 Ma ago, that appeared in an almost synchronous way throughout the entire Red Sea [ 1].
Furthermore, CMVin and CMVar-based production of the desired protein can be temporally regulated to give almost synchronous protein accumulation over a very short time period, even a few days.
Although it is a continent-wide swing, there is an especially strong sense of deja vu in the recent and almost synchronous move to the right in Brazil and Argentina, welded at the waist as the two South American giants are by their interlocking economies.
"Stand up, motherfucker," they both shouted, almost synchronous.

The voice of the loner — the participant-observer in a culture at once fascinating and repulsive — dominates this collection and produces some especially fine descriptions of the military's "athletic ballet": the "almost synchronous motion" of men firing mortars, for example.
Results showed that magnetite powder was bound tightly to loessial soil aggregates, with no noticeable vertical mobility under long-term leaching conditions, and almost synchronous detachment with the eroded soils.
The deterioration of the microhardness with increasing electrolyte temperatures could mainly be attributed to the increase of the porosity in the outer region of the oxides since the rate of microhardness reduction is almost synchronous with the rate of porosity increase.
