11.   Colwell and HUQ are now trying to determine the exact relationships between sea temperatures, phytoplankton blooms, cholera cases and everything in between.

12.   Complicating the interpretation of the observed trend, Cavalieri said, is natural variability in ice cover and sea surface temperatures in the Arctic and Antarctica.

13.   El Nino conditions, characterized by warm sea surface temperatures in the Pacific, impact weather conditions throughout the world.

14.   El Nino occurs in tropical regions of the Pacific Ocean when trade winds slow, warming sea temperatures that can affect global weather patterns.

15.   Elevated sea temperatures trigger the bleaching, which makes Porter suspicious about the timing.

16.   He said rainfall levels in West Africa are more likely to be influenced by changes in sea surface temperatures in tropical regions of the Atlantic than by El Nino.

17.   In addition, he peered at the frothing waters below and at his radar screen to estimate wind speed, sea surface temperature and other characteristics of the storm.

18.   In response to changes in sea temperature, the whales adapt their calls so they can be heard by other humpbacks over the longest possible distance.

19.   Rodwell showed that a large, positive winter index was tied to changes in sea surface temperatures off the U.S. coast the previous September.

20.   Sea temperatures surrounding the region, in contrast, stayed the same.
