Sentences with phrase «air mass above»

My thinking continues to be that the relative strengths must indeed be altered by variations in solar insolation to the oceans given that the oceans have such a profound effect on the temperature of the air masses above them.

Usually in winter, the air masses above the Arctic have low pressure, and the entire area is surrounded by a circular vortex of wind currents, keeping the frigid polar air contained.

Not exact matches

What sets The Book of Air and Shadows substantially above the mass of «secret - cipher» novels that have been spawned in the wake of The Da Vinci Code are Gruber's ability to juggle multiple threads and concepts with aplomb, and the depth of characterization.

The warm air above nocturnal or polar inversions, or even stable air masses with small positive lapse rates, are warmer than otherwise because of heat capacity and radiant + convective heating during daytime and / or because of heating occurring at other latitudes / regions that is transported to higher latitudes / regions.

Let's start by looking closely at the tropopause which is known to undulate upwards above rising air masses and downwards above falling air masses.

If you put the condenser in a garage, attic (as shown above), or other space, it's now connected to a finite mass of air.

Still to be delivered: proof that the globe, or even that small mass of air above that small part of the Earth known as the Arctic, is being heated by increased atmospheric CO2.

One extreme example: A few years ago, warm air masses was brought all the way from the North Atlantic and northward to Svalbard, due to a strong high - pressure system above Europe and a deep low above Iceland.

The air at the bottom has a higher temperature as a consequence of being compressed by the mass of air above being acted upon by gravity.

The total mass of air above the urban area is 10,000 kg / m ^ 2, but the bottom 2000 ft contains less than 5 % of it, or around 500 kg / m ^ 2.

Rather than flow around the arctic in a circular manner, the movement of the cold air becomes wavier, bringing the mass further and further south (see the pictures above).

This can't be the case for the obvious reason that pressure is determined solely by the mass of air and water above it, which is unchanged by condensation.

Though quite what it means by the following is anybody's guess: «The greater the mass of air above us, the higher the pressure we feel, and vice-versa.

The pressure of a volume of gas in atmosphere is not determined by what happens in that volume but by the atmosphere outside that volume and in particular by the mass of air above that volume in the simplest case.

A frontal inversion occurs when a cold air mass undercuts a warm air mass and lifts it aloft; the front between the two air masses then has warm air above and cold air below.

Surface temperatures take longer to catch up while the oceans and land masses attempt to equalize with the air high above them and they probably never do fully.

At all other times of the day, the air mass is calculated based on the incident angle of the sun — the angle of the sun above the horizon.

Rain cells that are in far above freezing air masses can be observed anomalously «changing over to snow».

In one simulation, the researchers covered much of the northern hemisphere (above 20 ° latitude) with forests and saw a jump in surface air temperature of more than 6 ° F. Covering the entire planet's land mass with trees led to a more modest increase of about 2 ° F.
