Sentences with phrase «ice water path»

Based on this study, we conclude that GOES level - 2B cloud - top retrievals are a reliable tool for prediction evaluations but the algorithm's retrievals of ice water path are not.

The ice water path retrievals are smaller in magnitude than the radar estimates, and this difference grows with increasing cirrus thickness.

Norquist, Donald C., Robert P. d'Entremont, 2003: Analysis and Prediction of Cirrus - Top Altitude and Ice Water Path in a Mesoscale Area.

MM5 is capable of producing ice water path magnitudes similar to the radar estimates, but the GOES retrievals are much more limited.

«Comparisons of Ice Water Path in Deep Convective Systems Among Ground - Based, GOES, and CERES - MODIS Retrievals.»

Ninety - eight percent of the GOES grid points had ice water paths no greater than 60 g m − 2, as compared with 74 % for MM5.

This image shows the path of the Kelvin waves that interact with the Antarctic Circumpolar Current and push warmer waters under the ice shelves of the West Antarctic Peninsula.

She likens TCF - 1 to an icebreaker ship that initially opens the ice (condensed, closed chromatin) and keeps a path available for other ships (other transcription factors that work in later stages of development) to steam through the now - open water (unwound chromatin).

If the craft were to crash on the surface of a cold moon like Enceladus, the RTGs could easily thaw a path through tens of kilometers of ice, and plop down into the liquid water ocean beneath, though this might take a long time.

TCF - 1 is like an icebreaker ship that initially opens the ice (condensed, closed chromatin) and keeps a path available for other ships (other transcription factors that work in later stages of development) to steam through the now - open water (unwound chromatin).

This could be do to changes in ocean circulation, and warming waters reaching the grounding lines for ice shelves in Arctic and Antarctica, leading to non-linear increase in melting and sea level rise, impossible to avoid on our current path.

Walking up the muddy wet dirt paths, crossing over the streams of the waterfalls, slippery rocks and fallen treat, the trek took a good 1.5 hours before finally reaching the main fall - a majestic 45 m drop, landing in a shallow pool of ice cold water, perfect for cooling off after the sweaty walk.

But I've long recognized the complexities in ice behavior that will probably result in some ice persisting, even in summer, through that span in some places and that also guarantee the path toward largely open Arctic waters will not be smooth.

None of the sea - ice specialists I've interviewed since 2000 on Arctic trends ever predicted a straight - line path to an open - water Arctic, but quite a few have stressed the longstanding idea that as white ice retreats, solar energy that would have been reflected back into space is absorbed by the dark sea, with that heat then melting existing ice and shortening the winter frozen season.

Microwave radiometers are very sensitive gauges of energy transmitted from the Earth which scientists can use to judge the amount of water, ice or water vapour underneath the spacecraft's flight path.

B) For the ice cores the progressive closing of the diffusion paths between the surface and the «air bubbles» of a layer of the firn is tantamount to a temporal low - pass filter which smoothes the transitions faster than several centuries (in Antarctica where the precipitation of ice is a few mm / year, it's the time it takes for some 50 m of water to accumulate).

Since Greenland is near the end of the path for the Gulf Stream and most of the water vapor in the atmosphere in that region is from the Gulf Stream, ice cores from Greenland are a good indicator of the ocean temperatures in the north Atlantic Ocean.

Because of their large size, tabular icebergs often travel great distances, and their movement can affect ocean circulation, the formation of bottom water (the dense layer of water at the very bottom of the ocean) and sea ice, and the productivity of life - forms in their path.

It is truly a function of the distance and path from the location of evaporation to the location that the water molecules became part of the ice sheet.
