Sentences with phrase «air near the equator»

As the sun flushes heat into our atmosphere at a mind - boggling rate of 175 quadrillion watts, the air near the equator absorbs more energy than the air near the poles.

According to the study, as the planet warms, the Hadley Cell, which links together rising air near the Equator and descending air in the subtropics, expands poleward.

As you can see, air near the equator is lifted high into the troposphere, effectively drying it by precipitating out nearly all of the water vapour.

Hadley Cell A direct, thermally driven overturning cell in the atmosphere consisting of poleward flow in the upper troposphere, subsiding air into the subtropical anticyclones, return flow as part of the trade winds near the surface, and with rising air near the equator in the so - called Intertropical Convergence Zone.

The ITCZ is located at the ascending branch of the Hadley cell, an atmospheric circulation associated with rising air near the equator and descending air in subtropical regions (see Fig. 2 for a schematic).

Not exact matches

Near the equator, large - scale convection causes air to rise.

This west - to - east flow of air in the Northern hemisphere is maintained by the gradient of heat between the cool Arctic and warmer areas near the equator.

Earth's atmosphere has a «transportation belt» of air flows which move ozone from the main production areas near the equator towards the poles.

Central to their bid was a revolutionary cooling system that would use solar power to provide zero - carbon air conditioning to cool the stadiums, technology that has the potential to transform the lives of tens of millions living near the equator.

15 Heat Transport in the Biosphere The unequal heating of Earth's surface drives winds and ocean currents transport heat throughout the biosphere Winds form because warm air tends to rise and cool air tends to sink air that is heated near the equator rises

The South Pole and Samoa (SH near the equator) clearly lag the NH stations in average CO2 level, and to catch the same CO2 level, the variability need to be shifted for some 12 months lag for Samoa (which receives some NH air in the seasons when the ITCZ is in southern positions) and 18 months lag for the South Pole.

Now with Hadley cells warm moist air rises from near the equator.

8 D. Convection on Earth Air is heated on Earth near Equator.

Cold air sinks near the poles and moves back towards the equator.

Now consider what happens to any given stationary parcel of air near the surface that the tropical Hadley cell sucks towards the equator.

T0 can be taken as more or less constant near 255 K while P0 is latitude dependent near 400 mbar at the equator, and near the ground in the polar regions (as there there is very little water vapour and the optical thickness of the air on most of the thermal infrared spectrum is low).

The rising air creates a low pressure zone near the equator.

The air circulation systems in both hemispheres move back equatorward and the ITCZ moves nearer the equator as the speed of the hydrological cycle decreases due to the warming stratosphere reducing the temperature differential between stratosphere and surface.

7) Near surface the air starts to move towards equator and the next loop on the Hadley cell.

On the web Hadley cell air flow is explained as follows: «This flow of air occurs because the Sun heats air at the Earth's surface near the equator.
