But it's a marker for the high level
of atmospheric energy the system is now pumping out and how potentially damaging it could ultimately become.
It took a fair amount of time to accept Relativity as an improvement on Newton, and the same is being applied to «Saturated GHG» theory based on overall
atmospheric energy balance.
Analysis of the Arctic
atmospheric energy budget in WRF: A comparison with reanalyses and satellite observations.Journal of Geophysical Research - Atmospheres (116), D2210.
The
net atmospheric energy input near the equator is the small residual (~ 20 W m2) of large cancellations between absorbed shortwave radiation (~ 320 W m2), emitted longwave radiation (~ 250 W m2), and oceanic energy uptake (~ 50 W m2).
Thus for any given change
in atmospheric energy content the slope in the troposphere will change less than the slope in the stratosphere.
Even at idle speed, the engine breathes in and out with
such atmospheric energy that nearby windowpanes will rattle, fallen leaves will swirl, and puddles will ruffle.
Their abstract says «energy budget calculations show that
poleward atmospheric energy transport increases more in solar forcing compared to equivalent CO2 forcing simulations, which is in line with the identified strong increase in large - scale precipitation in solar forcing scenarios.»
Eventually, they observed that each thunderstorm essentially pulls air towards the poles — and together, these many small, isolated thunderstorms can accumulate
enough atmospheric energy at the poles to generate a much larger and long - lived cyclone.
Hamburg Painting no. 2 was purchased by Liverpool's Walker Art Gallery and is one of a series entitled Hamburg in which the surface and colour changes
produced atmospheric energy.
To understand how far away from the equator the ITCZ is located, it helps to consider the steady -
state atmospheric energy balance
Most atmospheric energy transport near the equator is accomplished by the Hadley circulation, the mean tropical overturning circulation.
Diurnal variations in
atmospheric energy respond not only to the direct solar forcing, but also to the resulting dynamically - forcedsemidiurnal thermal tide.
If further CO2 increases do not further reduce the escape of energy to space in the wings of the CO2 band centered at 15 um, broadening the «ditch» (see below), and if elevated temperatures do not increase the downwelling IR in the relevant wavelengths, we can conclude that capacity of atmospheric CO2 to significantly
alter atmospheric energy balance is inconsequential, and warming attributable to CO2 must also be inconsequential.
Here are the salient factz of chemistry, physics and basic arithmetic that preclude CO2 from being even modestly important I. Total GHG proprty induced $ kv (reservoir of heat expressed as kenetic energy and measured as cumulative total constant
level atmospheric energy.
Subtle shifts in any of these large terms can lead to relatively large changes in the net
atmospheric energy input near the equator and hence large ITCZ shifts.
The ocean heat content change is from this section and Levitus et al. (2005c); glaciers, ice caps and Greenland and Antarctic Ice Sheets from Chapter 4; continental heat content from Beltrami et al. (2002);
atmospheric energy content based on Trenberth et al. (2001); and arctic sea ice release from Hilmer and Lemke (2000).
That the
net atmospheric energy input modulates the sensitivity of the ITCZ position to the cross-equatorial flux was pointed out in Bischoff and Schneider (2014).
A continual cycle of heat and moisture is pulled from the tropical ocean and transported around the globe on belts
of atmospheric energy.
«Pluto is the first planetary body we know of where
the atmospheric energy budget is dominated by solid - phase haze particles instead of by gases.»
The researchers are interested in studying the effects of haze particles on
the atmospheric energy balance of other planetary bodies, such as Neptune's moon Triton and Saturn's moon Titan.
What is the dependence of
the atmospheric energy balance at giant planets on solar wind - magnetosphere coupling?
The first - order relation for shows that (1) the ITCZ position is farther south the stronger northward
the atmospheric energy flux across the equator, and (2) the ITCZ is farther from the equator the weaker the net atmospheric energy input at the equator.
This gives us a handle to obtain a quantitative relation between the EFE or ITCZ and quantities in
the atmospheric energy balance.
The analysis draws attention to the importance for the ITCZ of
the atmospheric energy balance near the equator.
