Sentences with phrase «absorbing the heat instead»

Global warming seems to have slowed over the past 15 years while the deep ocean has been observed in absorbing the heat instead.

When that ice melts, huge expanses of darker, open ocean water absorb the heat instead, warming things up.

Not exact matches

Instead of sending sunlight directly to the solar cell, thermophotovoltaic systems have an intermediate component that consists of two parts: an absorber that heats up when exposed to sunlight, and an emitter that converts the heat to infrared light, which is then beamed to the solar cell.

Instead of dissipating into space, the infrared radiation that is absorbed by atmospheric water vapor or carbon dioxide produces heating, which in turn makes the earths surface warmer.

In theory, 30 % energy - conversion efficiency is the upper limit for traditional single - junction solar cells, as most of the solar energy that strikes the cell passes through without being absorbed, or becomes heat energy instead.

Instead, black carbon is expelled into the atmosphere combined with other compounds such as sulfates, which affect their heat - absorbing and reflective properties.

That means the surface absorbs far more heat from the sun, instead of reflecting light back into space.

I've been putting powdered turmeric into my smoothies, but someone told me that in order for it to be effective and properly absorbed it should be usied in cooking (heated up) instead.

Instead I interested in idea that incoming near infrared sunlight is «absorbed» - in sense that it's heating the atmosphere.

My argument here is about the fake fisics in the claim «shortwave in longwave out», the standard AGW model which says no Thermal Infrared direct from the Sun has any part in heating land and ocean and which has instead substituted shortwave from the Sun claiming shortwave does this heating when it is absorbed, mainly visible as I've given examples — I'm asking you, all, to prove this claim.

This is not absorbed, hence causes no heating, and is instead re-radiated back out — but as infrared.

Green roofs help to prevent water - runoff and pollution problems — water feeds plants, instead of running into sewers — as well as heating and cooling problems, since the roofs absorb solar heat.

Meaning twice the CO2 concentration could only absorb ~ 100 % of the energy in 5m instead of 10m, no more or less heat is preserved in the atmosphere, depending on CO2.

The new study says that water absorbs heat during the day, and then that some of the water (the part that doesn't remain on the ground to release heat at night) evaporates, so that that part of heat created by the sun doesn't remain on the ground but instead is transferred to water which leaves the area to perhaps rain downwind.

Instead, because there are greenhouse gases in our atmosphere, that radiation gets absorbed by those molecules and when they absorb it, the IR radiation gets converted to heat.

When sunlight strikes ice and snow, most of it is reflected back into space, but if it instead strikes land or open water, then much of the energy in the light is absorbed and converted into heat, leading to higher temperatures.

The rapid changes underway in the Arctic are partly caused by the disappearance of sea ice, which causes more light and heat to be absorbed at the ocean's surface during sunny months instead of being reflected into space.

If being absorbed by the pavement, this energy of the photon would be converted into heat, instead, rising thus the temperature of the pavement.

The Arctic melting is having profound effects on global climate, as there will be more heat - absorbing ocean instead of heat - reflecting ice there in the summer.

When the sun's rays hit either snow or ice, they are reflected back into space instead of being absorbed, reducing heat collection (Lloyd described this type of feedback loop last year).

Instead, presumably, CO2 is fairly evenly distributed all through the atmosphere - all around our heads and arms and legs - all the way up higher into the troposphere at every location in the troposphere - absorbing and radiating some of its absorbed heat to the also all - surrounding nitrogen / oxygen.

Some experts say that instead of slowing down evaporation, the black color of the shade balls absorbs heat and actually speed it up.

Seriously though, considering our lack of measurement continuity it is conceivable (if not entirely believable) that energy from the sun that heated a surface that then emitted IR that would have been radiated to space but instead was absorbed because of the slight increase in bandwidth coverage that a few extra CO2 molecules have provided and then emitted to Earth has been transferred through the sea surface unnoticed (cough, cough) and warmed subsurface layers.
