Sentences with phrase «atmospheric mass increases»

Not exact matches

His «we do not know of a time with permanent ice at the poles and CO2 above 1000pmmv» (except, of course, prior to the big thaw in snowball Earth), and the present rate of increase of atmospheric CO2 being c. 10x greater than previous mass extinctions as far as we know (albeit the total mass being less) are deeply worrying.

Increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide could also significantly alter ocean temperatures and chemistry over the next century, which could lead to increased and more severe mass bleaching and other stressors on corIncreased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide could also significantly alter ocean temperatures and chemistry over the next century, which could lead to increased and more severe mass bleaching and other stressors on corincreased and more severe mass bleaching and other stressors on coral reefs.

Although data are not complete, and sometimes contradictory, the weight of evidence from past studies shows on a global scale that precipitation, runoff, atmospheric water vapor, soil moisture, evapotranspiration, growing season length, and wintertime mountain glacier mass are all increasing.

trees grow, chamical potential is released when wood is burned, or perhaps some mechanical atmospheric effect that increases potential energy by separating air masses — maybe generation of wind would be related, just wondering.)

The point isn't a «perpetual increase in atmospheric pressure» — that's a misnomer — if you consider the MASS of the atmosphere that is continuously «pumped» from cold air to hot air to cold air again, high up in the atmosphere — that creates «potential energy» from the kinetic energy of the convection — adiabatic expansion of the atmosphere is the result — the adiabatic compression occurs on the return trip of the previously warmed (from radiative energy) air as it completes the «cycle» as it comes back down!

Still to be delivered: proof that the globe, or even that small mass of air above that small part of the Earth known as the Arctic, is being heated by increased atmospheric CO2.

Can you describe very specific changes in bacterial mass and metabolism that over the course of a century would not only significantly increase atmospheric CO2 concentration but also increase the ratios of C12 to C13 and C14 in the manner that has been observed (we'll leave out the bookkeeping from industrial records that also must be accounted for)?

The pressure induced Greenhouse Effect can only be affected by increased atmospheric mass or higher solar input.

This essay is an attempt to link real world observations (the failure of surface temperatures to rise in tandem with atmospheric CO2) to basic physics and thereby show why the radiative characteristics of Greenhouse Gases can not increase the surface temperature of a planet when atmospheric mass, the strength of the gravitational field and the power of insolation at the top of the atmosphere remain the same.

The hypothesis of global warming alarmism posits that increasing levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide should lead to increasing temperatures, particularly with respect to Antarctica's super-cold, super-dry air mass.

The oceans are huge, there is a lot of plant mass which reproduces quickly, is short - lived, and may be growing because of warming and CO2 (and keeping upper ocean CO2 lower than equilibrium with the increased atmospheric concentration).

The RAPIDITY of that «field reduction», if sufficient, would create a «surface pressure boil» increasing «atmospheric density / mass» able to support higher store of kinetic energy.

Perhaps you can explain how a constant AF is inconsistent with human emissions of CO2 being solely responsible for the increase in atmospheric CO2 as the mass balance argument suggests?

Cornell and Rutgers researchers report in the March issue of Oceanography that the severe loss of summertime Arctic sea ice - attributed to greenhouse warming - appears to enhance Northern Hemisphere jet stream meandering, intensify Arctic air mass invasions toward middle latitudes, and increase the frequency of atmospheric blocking events like the one that steered Hurricane Sandy west into the densely populated New York City area.

One idea was that increased IR radiated from water vapour in these air masses could off - set expansion due to release of latent heat, and ad drive horizontal circulation This had to be attacked as it showed a role for radiative gases in atmospheric circulation.

More recent figures suggest that 44 % of this remains in the atmosphere, so using that percentage for the 19th century indicates an increase in atmospheric carbon of 33 GtC, or 15.5 ppmv based on an atmosphere mass of 5148 teratonnes and a CO2 - to - air molar mass ratio of 12/28.97.

The increase in atmospheric mass over Antarctica from the early 1960s to the early 1970s discussed by Swanson and Trenberth (1981) is physically consistent with the upward temperature trends of the early part of these records.

Even if our CO2 emissions were to increase the temperature the effect would be indiscernible because the amount of change would be related to total atmospheric mass and not related to the proportionate increase in CO2

Increasing either P or V without reducing the other requires an increase in n — total atmospheric mass and / or R — the gas constant which is related to the strength of the gravitational field and / or T — Temperature.

In general, the pattern of change in return values for 20 - year extreme temperature events from an equilibrium simulation for doubled CO2 with a global atmospheric model coupled to a non-dynamic slab ocean shows moderate increases over oceans and larger increases over land masses (Zwiers and Kharin, 1998; Figure 9.29).

Based on the mass of anthropogenic CO2, emissions in a five year period, we can calculate the expected increase in atmospheric concentrations.

I don't see any reason to doubt the increase in atmospheric co2 is other than anthropogenic in nature, but I fail to see how your mass balance equation proves it.

The increased atmospheric mass is also likely to alter the cloud feedback, which otherwise is a strongly diminishing feedback at very large CO2 amounts.

If the bulk of the troposphere (75 % of the total atmospheric mass) shows a jump of almost 0.5 C due to the 1998 El Nino event, why didn't the station data show a comparable increase in temperature.

Antarctica, the «inconvenient» pole, the naughty child, has been gaining ice mass and cooling for decades, despite a 20 percent increase in atmospheric CO2, and model predictions to the contrary.

Great mass extinction of species during geological history (late Devonian, Permian - Triassic, end - Triassic, Cretaceous - Tertiary, Paleocene - Eocene) have been triggered by volcanic, asteroid impact and greenhouse events associated with sharp increases in atmospheric levels of CO2 and CH4.

So atmospheric warming will likely lead to a slight increase in snowfall over Antarctica, adding to the mass of the ice sheet.
