Increased delivery of warm ocean water to the margin of the ice sheet, implicated in the current phase of retreat, is the consequence of changing ocean circulation, driven by changes in the atmosphere.
Still, in some cases, changes in the atmosphere can drive geophysical events over the short term.
Then the laws of physics are set loose, and changes in the atmosphere are simulated in three dimensions.
The biological causes and consequences of anthropogenic and natural changes in the atmosphere, oceans, and terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems.
Against a background of fog, windows light up and go dark in interludes marked by changes in the atmosphere, enhanced by Cédric Pigot's background music.
"The pollution levels have levelled off but changes in the atmosphere have made it easier for the chemical reactions to take place that allow pollutants to destroy ozone.
The difference between weather and climate is that weather consists of the short-term (minutes to months) changes in the atmosphere.
Meteorologists said the key patch of the Pacific was warming but they didn't see the second technical part of its definition — certain changes in the atmosphere.
Known as integrated assessment models (I.A.M.s), they incorporate the links from carbon emissions to changes in the atmosphere, and from changes in the atmosphere to changes in global temperature, and from changes in temperature to damaging effects on the global economy.
Sea level responds to density changes of the water, to mass changes, due to addition or reduction of water mass, and to changes in the atmosphere above it.
