Sentences with phrase «approximate equilibrium temperature»

Not exact matches

Therefore the equilibrium temperature change would be somewhat less than that approximated by simply removing the heat trasported by the THC.

True equilibrium is still isothermal, but that doesn't mean that there isn't a wide range of time and temperature fluctuation scales that suffice to maintain the approximate DALR because the atmosphere is never sufficiently static for long enough for conductive relaxation to occur.

But it is the adiabatic lapse rate (itself a function of the acceleration due to gravity) that determines the surface temperature, along with the long - established temperature gradient from the core to the surface which has established a stable approximate equilibrium point at the interface of the surface and atmosphere over the life of the Earth..

«We derive a version of the virial theorem that is applicable to diatomic planetary atmospheres that are in approximate thermal equilibrium at moderate temperatures and pressures and are sufficiently thin such that the gravitational acceleration can be considered constant.

I expect the Romps et al and Laliberte et al Science papers to stimulate a large literature that moves beyond equilibrium approximations (though I recognize that Romps et al got the 10 % change in CAPE [per C increase in surface temperature] from equilibrium approximations for the moist adiabatic lapse rate) to approximate steady - state approximations (redundant «approximate» on purpose.)
