Sentences with phrase «does more evaporation»

Does more evaporation lead to more clouds and if so is the net effect of more clouds to increase albedo or to further increase GHE?

Not exact matches

However, it doesn't tolerate any more lithium brine evaporation ponds, and water rights are very scarce as well.

What's more, aquifers lose no water through evaporation, do not flood ecosystems, and in California they have capacity for between 17 and 26 times as much water as all of the state's reservoirs combined.

The river water reaching the Nile Delta does not contain a third more salt than before the Aswan High Dam was built: it is the same amount of salt, only more concentrated due to the evaporation from Lake Nasser.

When droughts do occur, they will be more intense than those in the past, because higher temperatures will lead to more evaporation from soils and transpiration from plants.

While climate change does not cause droughts, it can make them worse, as a warmer atmosphere leads to more evaporation from soils.

I would think that the type of paper used for the sheet doesn't really matter as they all create a barrier against evaporation and retaining moisture but I guess some also absorb the product more than leave it on the face!

Or does the increased evaporation cause more snow on the neighboring land and hence more reflection?

«Even if an area remains wet doesn't mean that it will be protected from the other aspects of climate change: rising and far more erratic air temperatures, higher rates of evaporation (evapotranspiration), and the rising concentration of CO2,» he said in an e-mail message.

I am interested in learning more about the potential evaporation rate (W / m2) in the NCEP / NCAR Reanalysis dataset (Kalnay et al., 1996)- Does anyone have familiarity with this particular variable and / or know how it was derived?

One thing that does seem clear is that warmer oceans (a la global warming) mean more evaporation, and that likely leads to storms with more and more dangerous rainfall of the kind we saw with Hurricane Irene last year.

Even in areas where precipitation does not decrease, these increases in surface evaporation and loss of water from plants lead to more rapid drying of soils if the effects of higher temperatures are not offset by other changes (such as reduced wind speed or increased humidity).5 As soil dries out, a larger proportion of the incoming heat from the sun goes into heating the soil and adjacent air rather than evaporating its moisture, resulting in hotter summers under drier climatic conditions.6

A heavy ceramic cup, doesn't work as good as thermos but works slightly better than less heavy cup [more a bit more heat capacity and more insulation] But if you don't screw on the lid, a thermos works about a good as ceramic cup - preventing evaporation of the hot coffee is large factor.

LIA wasn't GLOBAL cooling; but colder in Europe, north America — because Arctic ocean had less ice cover - > was releasing more heat / was accumulating - > radiating + spreading more coldness — currents were taking that extra coldness to Mexican gulf — then to the Mediterranean — because Sahara was increasing creation of dry heat and evaporating extra water in the Mediterranean — to top up the deficit — gulf stream was faster / that was melting more ice on arctic also as chain reaction — Because Mediterranean doesn't have enough tributaries, to compensate for the evaporation deficit.

Remember that fresh water freezes more easily than the ocean's usual salt water, so if downwelling fails locally, a puddle of fresher water may form from the rains or floods — and it will freeze more easily, preventing the winds from doing their evaporation job that might restart the downwelling.

«With global temperatures warmer now than they were at the beginning of the last century, that means our temperatures are warmer too, which increases the rate of evaporation and increases the demands on water, increases the stress on the water supply, and also leaves us more susceptible to breaking the high - temperature record, which we've been doing lately,» Nielsen - Gammon said.

An increase in global average annual temperature causes an evaporation increase; this means more H2O in the atmosphere to moderate the temperature range, as it always does.

If the energy required for the extra evaporation does all or mostly come from the water then as I have explained it has the potential to more than offset the expected reduction in energy flow that would otherwise be caused by a warmer topmost few microns according to Fourier's Law.

Back radiation causes more immediate evaporation and quicker reemission of LWR than does a similar amount of solar radiation.

On that basis more evaporation means faster flow from the ocean does it not?

i) Does DLR cause more evaporation?

So it doesn't really matter where L draws the energy from there is more cooling with more evaporation.

The skin layer does get warmer with more DLR but at the same time the interacting layer above it gets cooler because of the deficit created by increased evaporation taking place in that interacting layer.

The initial melting does take more energy from the air than is lost in evaporation but that energy then becomes latent energy in the water and so the air is cooled but the remaining ice is not cooled.

Forget about CO2, if a random increase in water vapor occurs, doesn't that all by itself increase the greenhouse effect, leading to evaporation of more water, more greenhouse effect, and so on?

If you don't understand that more evaporation = more precipitation = more snow = higher albedo = winter cooling you have no business pontificating here.

In addition, it loses more energy from evaporation than does the land.

(Every indication of the NOAA evaporation pan experiment deviations appear to have more to do with the change in the surface moisture saturation.)

He also notes that it has a feedback effect, which it clearly does because heating of bodies of water increases evaporation, putting more WVP in the atmosphere, and increasing it's GH impact.

So evaporation doesn't control sea surface temperatures, but it does couple that surface temperature to the overlying air temperature, but importantly one needs to satisfy the TOA budget to determine what that temperature is, i.e., it wouldn't be correct to assume there's an upper bound on SSTs after which evaporation is so efficient that the temperature can't increase much more.

Evaporation indeed cools the planet more than does radiation flux, but those are magnitudes.
