The intensity and location of upwelling are influenced by changes in atmospheric circulation, as exemplified by the influence of El Niño conditions.
The continuous rearrangement of the size and shape of ocean basins and continents over geologic time, accompanied by changes in ocean circulation and climate, had a major impact on the development of life on Earth.
The 2005 drought caused by changes in the circulation of the Atlantic Ocean could be a preview of what climate change will bring.
Although most research deals with the influence of temperature increase on vector-borne diseases, it is important to study the impact of wind (direction and intensity) on spread of disease because wind is directly influenced by changes in atmospheric circulation.
The timing of quiescence in rodents corresponds to a period just after birth when there is significant cardiac remodelling triggered by changes in the circulation due to air breathing and the switch in cardiomyocyte metabolism from predominantly glycolysis in utero to fatty acid oxidation in postnatal life [ 29].
This trend may have been accelerated by changes in global ocean circulation caused by the closure of the Central American Seaway and/or other factors (see Pliocene climate), setting the stage for glaciation in the northern hemisphere.
Thus, this post-task Δ[HbT] appears to be caused by changes in the extracerebral circulation and likely reflects synchronized inhalation at the end of the task.
These results, together with the fact that the intracranial ∆[HbT] resembled the simulated crosstalk artifact between layers, indicate that the extracranial Δ[HbT] during the hand-motor task was caused by changes in the extracerebral circulation.
An increase in global temperature, however, could actually decrease the number of tropical cyclones, because any change in temperature would be accompanied by changes in Earth's general circulation.
The variation of the microwave emission from Uranus is probably caused by changes in the deep tropospheric circulation, because thick polar clouds and haze may inhibit convection.
