Sentences with word «adiabat»

In my world, the atmosphere approximates a moist adiabat in most locations, not just around thunderstorms.

It has not been shown that a moist adiabat means rain, or that it means more rain rather than the same rain from a different altitude.

Radiation is thus always destabilizing the troposphere, and convections acts to move energy upward until a stable lapse rate is obtained, corresponding to an appropriate adiabat... this is why we have a troposphere, and one can identify tropospheres more generally by virtue of their temperature structure following such a curve.

Ab initio simulations for material properties along the Jupiter adiabat.

The moist adiabat assumes that the atmosphere all has the same water content - it just changes phase.

If convection were suppressed, it wouldn't follow the dry adiabat either.

Why is the moist adiabat important in your world?

I'm told that a moist adiabat typically means rain, which I don't think is correct, and that the shallower lapse rate resulting from more humidity is * caused * by there being more rain.

So you can not suggest that the tendency toward the moist adiabat reduces the rain.

I thought thunderstorms were due to * conditional instability * when the lapse rate is between the moist and dry adiabats, combined with a moist boundary layer and low level convergence or orographic lifting sufficient to release the instability.

We see the tropical atmospheric temperature profile retain a moist adiabat as a response to ENSO, solar cycles, etc so we don't have a reason why CO2 should be different.

If the atmosphere follows a moist adiabat as it warms, this critical temperature will increase along with the surface warming.

He has led the experimental development of adiabat - shaped implosions to develop a way to minimize hydrodynamic instabilities in low - adiabat ICF implosions.

For reference, the amplification is related to the sensitivity of the moist adiabat to increasing surface temperatures (air parcels saturated in water vapour move up because of convection where the water vapour condenses and releases heat in a predictable way).

And most people (like me) don't know much about «moist adiabat» or «convection» either.

When you add GHGs & the radiative absorbtion in the GCMs the calculated change in temperature changes the adiabat / lapse rate also.

Convection of course acts in the GCMs, and that is the principle reason why the atmosphere (particularly in the tropics) stays near a moist adiabat.

Moist convection is represented by a simplified Betts - Miller convection scheme that relaxes temperatures toward a moist adiabat and specific humidities toward a profile with a prescribed relative humidity.

It would follow the Manabe - Strickler type pure radiative profile that results in an average surface temperature of 60 C. I'm not sure if there's some way to have convection without convective mixing, but if condensation is still allowed I'd expect it to still follow a moist adiabat.

Mostly in cumulus clouds, though, which is why the moist adiabat is important.
