Sentences with phrase «atmospheric pressure decreases»

Since atmospheric pressure decreases as we go up in the atmosphere, in these plots, the balloon height increases as we go from right to left.

Since cold air is more dense, atmospheric pressure decreases more rapidly with height on the poleward side of the polar front than on the warmer tropical side.

6) atmospheric pressure decreases with height, 7) liquid pressure increases with depth.

Not exact matches

So at the ocean surface, the atmospheric pressure remains relatively constant, increased CO2 concentrations lead to an increased partial pressure of CO2 but temperature leads to to a decreased solubility, partially canceling each other out.

This mass of warm water, nicknamed «the Blob,» was the result of a persistent atmospheric high - pressure ridge in the Northeastern Pacific that decreased cooling and transport of surface water.

But it transpired before long that it will take a lot of time to decrease the anthropogenic pressure by reducing CO2 and other hothouse emissions in order to stabilize the atmospheric level, and that the industrialized countries were not likely to cope with this task on their own.

This parameter is likely to decrease in response to the increase of dissolved CO2 resulting from the global increase of the partial pressure of atmospheric CO2.

Atmospheric pressure decreases with height (altitude), and in space, the atmospheric pressure is almost zero.

It generally decreases with altitude and is about 37 % at an altitude where the atmospheric pressure is 300 millibars (mb).

In this data activity, students use NASA satellite measurements of atmospheric pressure to learn that pressure decreases with height in the atmosphere.

Measurement of CO2 concentration is always problematic; the «Standard Dry Air» SDA basis of measurement and comparison is at standard temperature and pressure which is a non-existent parameter; and as we are seeing, CO2 is not a well - mixed gas at all and will be defined by, amongst other variables, SH, or absolute humidity; SH can vary from 0 to 5 % by volume of atmosphere; as the SH increases, the absolute amount of other gases, including CO2, decreases; to say therefore that atmospheric concentrations of CO2 have remained stable and not been above 280ppm over the last 650my is fanciful; even if you assume past CO2 levels have not got above 280ppm the range of variation within that limit has been greater than the current increase;

This is important in that the atmospheric circulation trends over the Antarctic vary substantially by season, with summer and autumn exhibiting decreases in sea level pressure over the circumpolar trough and over the continent.

Glacial global mean temperatures (GMT) dropped by about 4 ± 0.8 K while atmospheric pCO2 (CO2 partial pressure) decreased by 80 ppm to 100 ppm (16, 17).

Now, remembering that atmospheric pressure is directly related to temperature, and pressure decreases with height, warming a region will increase the height at which pressure falls to 500 hPa.
