the atmosphere getting heated.
In an election year, President Mahama called on the clergy to be quick in calling for calm heads when
the atmosphere gets heated and political rhetorics are being thrown around.
Not exact matches
@JDJ: the storm came because our planet has warm zones and cool zones, due largely to the energy our
atmosphere receives from the sun, and storms are how
heat gets transferred from the tropics to the temperate and frigid zones.
Whether you wish to

Get out of that
heated atmosphere and look at things in an objective way.
But some of that
heat gets blocked by those pesky carbon dioxide molecules building up in the
atmosphere — inexorably warming our planet.
Carbon dioxide
gets more press, but methane is the more powerful agent of global warming, 21 times more effective than carbon dioxide at trapping
heat in the

heated more and more, it will produce a complex and dynamic
atmosphere of gas, dust, and plasma called a coma, full of outbursts and jets.
While 2016 has
gotten a boost from an exceptionally strong El Niño, the record temps are mostly the result of the excess
heat that has built up in Earth's
atmosphere due to accumulating greenhouse gases.
The total energy hitting Proxima b is only 65 % of what Earth
gets from the sun, so liquid water could easily exist there so long as the planet has some sort of
atmosphere to trap
heat.
Normally, this radiation would escape into space — but these pollutants, which can last for years to centuries in the
atmosphere, trap the
heat and cause the planet to
get hotter.

heat source to the global
atmosphere.
Some things we might do if we
got desperate enough: scrub greenhouse gasses from the
atmosphere technologically, geo - engineering to create cooling effects to offset greenhouse
heating, [SLIDE 42] lots of adaptation policies, cropping patterns,
heat drought and salt - resistant crops, strengthen public health and environmental engineering defenses against tropical disease, new water projects for flood control and drought management, dyke storm surge barriers, avoiding further development on flood plains in near sea level.
Depending on the mass of the planets and their distance from the brown dwarf, we should
get Io / Europa analogues or, if it has enough mass to hold onto an
atmosphere, we could
get something different: a world that thanks to tidal
heating (and infrared radiation) keeps the surface water liquid.
During the fall, the
heat that was added to the oceans
gets released into the
atmosphere as sea ice reforms, and this added
heat is bound to change weather patterns somehow (this is a process known as «Arctic Amplification»).
So, if you were an alien creature living in the gaseous
atmosphere of one of these hellish worlds, where would you hide to
get away from the searing
heat?
The thin
atmosphere allows Mars to more easily radiate
heat energy away, so temperatures near the equator can
get up to 70 °F (21 °C) during a summer day, and then drop down to − 100 °F (− 73 °C) at night.
To say it a bit worse but in modern lingo: to maintain radiative equilibrium, the planet has to put out a certain amount of
heat, and if it can't radiate it out from the surface, the lower
atmosphere somehow has to
get warmer until there's some level that radiates the right amount.
If for any reason the
atmosphere gets warmer - > oxygen & nitrogen expand INSTANTLY - > release extra
heat and equalize in a jiffy: http://globalwarmingdenier.wordpress.com/q-a/
I guess I'm ultimately trying to
get a sense for how much annual or decadal variations in surface temperatures are a function of
atmosphere - ocean
heat exchange vs. earth - space imbalances (I realize the two don't function entirely independently).
Are the episodes thought to be actual changes in the amount of
heat being radiated by the planet (because the surface of the ocean
gets warmer and cooler, does the actual infrared flux from the top of the
atmosphere then change as a result)?
Victor, just curious, how do YOU think
heat gets transferred between the
atmosphere and the ocean?
Moreover, without GHGs in the
atmosphere,
getting rid of
heat would not be hard, it would be easy.
CM said «Moreover, without GHGs in the
atmosphere,
getting rid of
heat would not be hard, it would be easy.»
But let's
get a little more real about that last part, the exchange of
heat between the
atmosphere and the ocean.
So as more CO2
gets pumped into the
atmosphere the temperature rises, which causes more water to evaporate (as you accurately state), increasing the concentration of water vapor in the
atmosphere — which
heats the
atmosphere even more, causing even more water vapor to enter the
atmosphere.
The surface
heat capacity C (j = 0) was set to the equivalent of a global layer of water 50 m deep (which would be a layer ~ 70 m thick over the oceans) plus 70 % of the
atmosphere, the latent
heat of vaporization corresponding to a 20 % increase in water vapor per 3 K warming (linearized for current conditions), and a little land surface; expressed as W * yr per m ^ 2 * K (a convenient unit), I
got about 7.093.
Hurricanes do have a deep surface mixing effect that normal tropical convection doesn't produce, and that would be expected to result in greater transfer of
heat to the
atmosphere, but it
gets complicated in a hurry; see the realclimate discussion of the Walker circulation for example, as well as the link between hurricanes and sea surface temps.
With some LW absorbing optical thickness, the
atmosphere can emit radiation to space, so some
heat will flow into the
atmosphere from where solar
heating occurs to
get to space.
What I should have said is that the stratosphere will cool — whether it
gets cooler than the surface or tropopause or remains warmer (remember this is the case where we started with zero GHE and had some solar
heating within the
atmosphere) depends on specifics.
With zero LW absorbing optical thickness within the
atmosphere, the
heat must
get to surface (if not already there) before escaping to space.
Add in that if it's the sun, the entire
atmosphere will warm, since there's just simply more energy put in to the system, whereas if it is CO2 or other blanketing method, there's no extra energy put in, therefore the ground will warm and the upper air cool (since the upper air isn't
getting the warming from the lower layers it used to
get and the lower layers aren't losing the
heat they used to).
The ocean conveyor
gets its «start» in the Norwegian Sea, where warm water from the Gulf Stream
heats the
atmosphere in the cold northern latitudes.
Ever notice how cool it
gets at night, that's the effect of the
atmosphere releasing it's
heat back into the cosmos, it's called re-radiation.
I just don't see how you
get from W / M2 to temperature without dealing with the specific
heat of the various layers of the
atmosphere and oceans.
The claim to
get around the two problems of an geometric increase in error, and using absolute values of temperature that are not Earth's, is the argument that the model ensemble
got the
heat transfer correctly in
atmosphere and in the ocean.
What I'm thinking is that the primary way that the energy captured by CO2
gets dissipated is not radiation, partly back to the surface, but primarily upwards convention as the kinetic transfer between gas molecules moves the
heat rapidly throughout the
atmosphere.
The process of such evaporation and then condensation together with those other weather processes is an express route to
get heat energy from ocean to surface to
atmosphere to space and the bigger the temperature differential between ocean surface,
atmosphere and space the faster they must all work to move the
atmosphere back towards a temperature equilibrium.
For instance, back in the 1960s, simple climate models predicted that global warming caused by more carbon dioxide would lead to cooling in the upper
atmosphere (because the
heat is
getting trapped at the surface).
George E. Smith says: «CO2 can not (
get involved in latent
heat transaction) since it remains immutable in the
atmosphere for thousands of years.»
So as said droplets of sulfuric acid could in atmospheric pressure of around 1 atm,
heat up to 100 C. Water droplets would never
get this hot - but instead would quickly evaporate at around 30 C [assuming
atmosphere was wetter, in dry
atmosphere of Venus they evaporate quickly as ice.
The water vapor cooled the Earth, the snow cooled the
atmosphere with resulting increase in surface albedo which does reflect radiative
heat, meaning the Earth
gets less warm, not colder because of it.
Ergo, there must be a negative Temperature gradient in the
atmosphere to
get «
heat energy» to propagate from the surface to the upper reaches of the
atmosphere.
Without continents, you might not
get any western boundary currents, which could alter the balance of poleward
heat transport and really affect the general circulation of the
atmosphere.

heat» might
get from the
atmosphere down to the «ocean deeps» below 700 metres.
If you're calculating that as AGWSF teaches you to calculate by the sleight of hand planckian graphic that the 300 mile wide visible layer
atmosphere around the Sun defines its
heat, then you
get the fake fisics meme of 6,000 °C.
The more carbon pollution in the air, the more the sun's energy
gets trapped in our
atmosphere as
heat.
Since then you've said that «the original issue is: How does the missing (CO2 - induced)
heat from the
atmosphere,
get into the ocean?»
That statement can not have been connected with the specific question of how energy moves out of the air into the deep ocean because you had just literally told us to «Forget about how the missing
heat might
get from the
atmosphere down to the ocean deeps below 700 metres.»
What they still don't teach in traditional physics is the AGWScienceFiction meme that «shortwaves from the Sun
heat land and water and longwave infrared, aka thermal infrared, doesn't
get through the
atmosphere»
