Sentences with phrase «affected by evaporation»

The sinking is mainly driven by the saltiness of the water, which is affected by evaporation of fresh water from the surface or, particularly in the Arctic, freezing seawater which leaves salt behind in the water beneath the ice.

Not exact matches

Humans alter that hydrological cycle through water use demand - irrigation being a large use - and cause changes in water supply by affecting evaporation and runoff.

Why It Matters: The Earth's water cycle is affected by energy exchanges via evaporation, transpiration, condensation, and precipitation, to name a few.

Radiation biases are largely affected by cloud simulations, while EF bias is largely affected by soil moisture modulated by seasonal accumulated precipitation and evaporation.

Key facts about the lesson are: The content covered by the lesson are; the water cycle as a system, the states of water and the proportion of water in different states, features / components of the water cycle (transpiration, percolation etc), flows and stores in the water cycle, factors that affect the rates of precipitation, condensation, evaporation, infiltration, percolation and interception in the water cycle.

The argument isn't actually as firm a constraint as generally believed, since the infrared radiative cooling of the atmosphere is affected by the temperature difference between air and the underlying surface, which can adjust to accommodate any amount of evaporation Nature wants to dump into the atmosphere (as shown in Pierrehumbert 1999 («Subtropical water vapor...» available here)-RRB-.

As you know, salinity affects evaporation and / or may reflect an influx (or lack) of fresh water (by precipitation, riverine, or runoff).

I understand that their affect on albedo is unfortunate, and their affects on transpiration / evaporation / cloud cover are ambiguous, but aren't these outweighed by their sequestration benefits, especially at low - latitude or even low - ish latitued (e.g., Israel)?

Water resources, already over-tapped in many areas, will become even scarcer as a result of increased evaporation and snowmelt caused by higher temperatures, affecting agriculture, hydroelectric power plants, and water availability in growing cities such as Phoenix and Las Vegas.

By modifying the evaporation and precipitation rate, the global warming will probably affect the hydrous climate balance and therefore the Tunisian water resources.

This rapid change might affect the availability of water resources by altering the rates of evaporation and precipitation.

He also says I do not specify the method by which evaporation affects climate sensitivity.

We find that the reported discrepancy can be traced to two main issues: (1) unforced internal climate variability strongly affects local wetness and dryness trends and can obscure underlying agreement with WWDD, and (2) dry land regions are not constrained to become drier by enhanced moisture divergence since evaporation can not exceed precipitation over multiannual time scales.

Both properties and distribution are affected by continuous evaporation and condensation processes of semi-volatile organic material which must be simulated.

The standard rebuttal is «no no no, impinging LWR MUST only affect evaporation» but, by way of the RC article you cited, we know that this is not the case empirically.

The IPCC summary is deeply flawed as a scientific document and as I have explained in other recent articles it appears impossible for increased levels of atmospheric CO2 at the puny levels caused by mankind to affect the characteristics of the atmosphere enough to significantly enhance the greenhouse effect and even if it could do so then any such effect would be quickly neutralised by the primary solar / oceanic driver and the oceans acting in conjunction with evaporation, condensation and atmospheric convection (which includes clouds and rain).

The amount of direct heat on earth can be given by this equation: 100 — energy deflected (ca. 30 %)-- energy used for evaporation (ca. 23 %) = (ca. 47 %) What affects earth's albedo?

Warm air can not significantly affect the oceans due to the huge difference in thermal capacities and by the effect of evaporation which removes unwanted energy to latent form as necessary to maintain the said equilibrium.

It's also important to point out, however, that although changes in evaporation, convection and latent heat transport, humidity, water vapor, clouds, and other quantities affect the surface temperature response, they are excluded from the Planck («no - feedback») response by definition.
