Sentences with phrase «atmosphere by the natural process»

The simulations also suggest that the removal of excess carbon dioxide from the atmosphere by natural processes on land and in the ocean will become less efficient as the planet warms.

The long time scale for this recovery arises because ozone depleting gases such as chlorofluorocarbons are only removed from the atmosphere by natural processes at very slow rates.

And, of course, it would be strange if CO2, CH4, etc. exhibited different behavior if put into the atmosphere by natural process versus being put into the atmosphere by human emission.

The cost for carbon sequestration with wood burial is low because CO2 is removed from the atmosphere by the natural process of photosynthesis at little cost.

Not exact matches

There, lightning and other natural processes may also help create fine particulates, but most of these particles would be trapped by raindrops and harmlessly removed from the atmosphere, she said.

Albedo modification would work by lacing the atmosphere with tiny particles or aerosols that would reflect sunlight and mimic natural processes.

Carbon dioxide is produced by many natural and industrial processes, which currently result in CO2 levels of 380 ppmv in the atmosphere.

Courtesy of the Vernadsky Institute, Moscow — smaller, high - contrast image (Additional image processing by Carlé Pieters and colleagues at Brown University, assembled for Astronomy: The Cosmic Journey by William K. Hartmann and Chris Impey) Around the Venera 13 probe at bottom, the dissicated, daytime landscape of Venus displays a yellowish - orange hue under a cloudy yellowish - white sky and the natural, mustard - colored light filtering through the planet's thick atmosphere

Natural variability is primarily controlled by exchange of heat between the ocean and the atmosphere, but it is an extremely complex process and if we want to develop better near - term predictive skills — which is looking not at what's going to happen in the next three months but what's going to happen between the next year and 10 years or 20 years or so — if we want to expand our understanding there, we have to understand natural variability better than we doNatural variability is primarily controlled by exchange of heat between the ocean and the atmosphere, but it is an extremely complex process and if we want to develop better near - term predictive skills — which is looking not at what's going to happen in the next three months but what's going to happen between the next year and 10 years or 20 years or so — if we want to expand our understanding there, we have to understand natural variability better than we donatural variability better than we do today.

If used as an average for the globe, it would represent the sum of all CO2 added to, and removed from, the atmosphere during the year by human activities and by natural processes.

My understanding was that about 60 % of the additional carbon we pump into the atmosphere each year is immediately sequestered by natural processes, presumably largely biological.

One should also pay attention to other greenhouse gases, particularly methane (from rice paddies, ruminant animal digestive processes, industrial processes, and distributed natural sources, some of which could be triggered to large releases by warming) and nitrous oxide (from the nitrogen cycle linking the atmosphere, plants, and bacteria, now exacerbated by extremely heavy use of nitrogenous fertilizers in agriculture; note, as does Vaclav Smil from the University of Manitoba, that fertilizer use is required to feed half the world's current population.

The Realclimate theory thus fails and the temperature gradient from the body of the ocean to the top millimetre and then the atmosphere is maintained at or near to the natural level with the extra warmth being ejected from the system by the enhanced evaporation / condensation and weather processes.

Generally, the carbon cycle is balanced enough such that the amount of carbon put into the atmosphere by all sources is equal to the amount taken out through natural feedback processes.

Here we present a means to estimate this natural flux by a separation of oceanic carbon anomalies into those created by biogenic processes and those created by CO2 exchange between the ocean and atmosphere.

We now recognize more of the natural climatic variations caused by the interaction of five highly nonlinear coupled chaotic processes: earth's atmosphere, oceans, volcanoes, solar weather, and galactic cosmic rays (Curry 2016, Curry 2017).

GHG's continue to accumulate heat in the atmosphere from the time they're released to the time they get scrubbed out by natural processes.

The increase in the atmosphere is very constant, by far not looking like any natural process.

The formation of cloud droplets and cloud ice crystals is associated with suspended aerosols, which are produced by natural processes as well as human activities and are ubiquitous in Earth's atmosphere.

Effectively she appears to at least confirm the possibility of my proposition that what is going on is an entirely natural solar induced process (destruction of ozone in the upper atmosphere by more incoming solar protons) which casts doubt on all previous assumptions concerning human CO2 AND CFCs.

The problems begin when human activities distort and accelerate the natural process by creating more greenhouse gases in the atmosphere than are necessary to warm the planet to an ideal temperature.

«(6) methane is a powerful greenhouse gas that may be exchanged between terrestrial methane hydrate reservoirs and the atmosphere by natural or anthropogenic processes; and

Scientists agree the main cause of climate change is human activities which magnify the «greenhouse effect» — a natural process in which gases in the atmosphere warm the Earth by trapping heat that is radiating towards space (2)(4).

Natural processes in the atmosphere slowly destroy these non-CO2 GHGs over time, mainly by oxidation in the troposphere (0 - 20 km high), and by «photolysis» with UV rays in the stratosphere (> 20 km).

This new concept of anthropogenic impacts on seawater pH formulated here accommodates the broad range of mechanisms involved in the anthropogenic forcing of pH in coastal ecosystems, including changes in land use, nutrient inputs, ecosystem structure and net metabolism, and emissions of gases to the atmosphere affecting the carbon system and associated pH. The new paradigm is applicable across marine systems, from open - ocean and ocean - dominated coastal systems, where OA by anthropogenic CO2 is the dominant mechanism of anthropogenic impacts on marine pH, to coastal ecosystems where a range of natural and anthropogenic processes may operate to affect pH.
