Sentences with phrase «atmosphere as a grid»

Code consisting of very «regular» calculations, such as simulating the atmosphere as a grid of evenly - sized squares, may always work best on vector systems.

Not exact matches

Electric currents that flow into and out of the ionosphere, which AMPERE monitors, have various effects on it as well as the atmosphere in general that can cause problems with tracking LEO space debris, the use of GPS systems, and even terrestrial power plants — as was the case when a geomagnetic storm took down Quebec's power grid in 1989, Anderson says, adding, «The operators didn't know what was happening.»

The sun is a tempestuous place prone to proton and electron particle storms that can speed across a 150 - million - kilometer space chasm to bash into Earth's atmosphere, potentially disrupting satellite service, damaging telecommunications networks, causing power grid blackouts and endangering high - altitude aircraft as well as astronauts on board the International Space Station.

If one divides the earth into 50x50km blocks then I suppose that's about 200k grid points (times however many layers you want in the atmosphere) and as for the oceans I have no idea.

The model - atmosphere both receives information (about such things as sea - surface temperature) and produces output (such as winds, temperatures, and rainfall) as sets of numbers on a grid.

So if it is taken as given that at times grids in the near future will often have electrical available for times at next to nothing, what's the best way to use it to remove CO2 or other greenhouse gases from the atmosphere?

The job of the radiation module is to calculate the solar heating rate profiles and the thermal cooling rate profiles, including the energy deposition at the ground surface, as well as the energy balance at the top of the atmosphere for the specified climate variable distribution at each grid box.

On the other side, Professor Andr e Berger and colleagues developed a mathematical model of the climate system, rated today as a «model of intermediate complexity» [6, 7] to solve the dynamics of the atmosphere and ice sheets on a spatial grid of 19 × 5 elements, with a reasonably extensive treatment of the shortwave and longwave radiative transfers in the atmosphere.
