Sentence examples for zonal climate from inspiring English sources

The Earth's zonal climate also has an effect on global patterns of sedimentation.

In particular, a latitudinally zonal climate pattern during the Paleogene changed to a Neogene pattern.

This climate was thought to be characterized by a subtropical humid zone in the north, a subtropical tropical and arid semiarid zone in the middle, and tropical humid zone in the south, with the location of the subtropical high being the main control on this zonal climate distribution (Wang et al. 1999).

Latitudinal zonal distribution of climate is considered to have dominated the Paleocene and Eocene in East Asia before the collision of India and Eurasia (Song et al. 1983; Sun and Wang 2005).

This was probably driven by higher atmospheric pCO2, although the latitudinal zonal distribution of climate was maintained (Huber and Goldner 2012; Zhang et al. 2012b; Licht et al. 2014).

This suggests the emergence of the EASM at around the beginning of the early Miocene (ca. 23 Ma), when the zonal distribution of arid climate in East Asia was disrupted as a result of the development of a warm and wet climate in eastern China (Sun and Wang 2005; Guo et al. 2008).

On the Indian subcontinent, the transition from a zonal to a monsoon-dominated climate pattern may have led to the aridification of the remaining peninsula, and a significant shift from closed forested tropical ecosystems towards more open savannah-like ecosystems [ 18, 20, 21, 55- 58].

All together, they create strong deviations from the zonal temperature distribution (for example, compare the climate of Edinburgh, Scotland, UK with Churchill, Canada, and Yakutsk, Russia) and are highly volatile.

In applying the stepwise backward model selection process, the final climate-only and climate-plus-early-incidence models contained a single climate variable, namely the average zonal wind during November through December (U NDt).

Zonal mean surface air temperature in the present climate is well represented by EMICs, at least to a degree similar to GCMs (IPCC [2007]).

The mid-Cretaceous constitutes a period of worldwide atmospheric and oceanic change associated with slower thermohaline circulation and ocean anoxic events, possible polar glaciations and by a changing climate pattern becoming controlled by a zonal planetary wind system and an equatorial humid belt.
