Sentences with phrase «atmospheric density which»

The only things that can change that resultant point of temperature equilibrium are changes in solar radiance coming in or changes in overall atmospheric density which affect the radiant energy going out.

Not exact matches

So the delta wing at the back, which also includes a split flap for pitch and roll control allows us to control the pitch angle despite having a wide range of payloads in the nose and a wide range of atmospheric densities.

Using the bright light generated by these stars, researchers will be able to use spectroscopy — a technique that measures the absorption and emission of light — to determine a planet's mass, density and atmospheric composition, which could provide insights into whether or not it harbors life.

Re 423 Chris G — whether the effect saturates at a given density depends on the way the temperature is distributed; if the temperature from TOA downward is isothermal for a sufficient thickness, than the effect could be saturated at TOA (if starting from a large enough optical thickness per unit atmospheric mass path, a change in the density of the gas / etc that contributes optical thickness would then have little to no effect on the flux at TOA, which is what is meant by saturation.

Some changes occurring are atmospheric density changes which would effect the insulation value of the atmosphere.

The only things that can change that resultant point of temperature equilibrium significantly are changes in solar radiance coming in and changes in overall atmospheric density (a function of mass and pressure) which affect the radiant energy going out or a change in the speed of the water cycle which, because of the unique characteristics of the phase changes of water altering the speed of energy flow through the system is capable of exerting a powerful regulatory effect.

There is, however, a large global marine current resource potential which possesses a number of advantages over other renewables, such as its higher energy density, highly predictable power outputs, independence from extreme atmospheric fluctuations and a zero or minimal visual impact.

For us, one of the most fascinating findings of this analysis is that the atmospheric temperature profiles from the boundary layer to the middle of the stratosphere can be so well described in terms of just two or three distinct regions, each of which has an almost linear relationship between molar density and pressure.

Compare warming atmosphere, lowers density, which increases atmospheric height, which increases radiative surface area of the earth.

So density weighted temperatures of the entire atmosphere would be a step in the right direction (provided good long - term records for the rest of the atmosphere — which only go back to the 1970s), but strong El Ninos would continue to drive substantial variations in global density weighted atmospheric temperatures.

A second BCDR strategy is forestry - based sequestration, which removes atmospheric carbon and stores it in forest biomass by increasing forest area and / or carbon density.

Thus if the density of the atmospheric carbon dioxide is altered it will alter the altitude from which the sky radiation of this gas originates.
