Sentences with phrase «atmospheric water transport»

This transformation of oceanic currents between forward and backward spinning Earths resulted from changes to atmospheric water transport, Ziemen explained.

Not exact matches

Collision of climate variants One, called the negative phase of the Indian Ocean Dipole, is an atmospheric circulation in the tropical Indian Ocean that transports water from west to east.

A NOAA website on atmospheric rivers contains this fascinating statistic that illustrates just how much moisture can be transported by winds in the mid-to-upper atmosphere: «A strong atmospheric river transports an amount of water vapor roughly equivalent to 7.5 - 15 times the average flow of liquid water at the mouth of the Mississippi River.»

Predictive accuracies ranging from 89.4 % to as high as 99.1 % show that trained deep learning neural networks (DNNs) can identify weather fronts, tropical cyclones, and long narrow air flows that transport water vapor from the tropics called atmospheric rivers.

Others include poisoning of water supplies, high levels of atmospheric ash, crop damage, and disruption to transport.

In GCMs, the global mean evaporation changes closely balance the precipitation change, but not locally because of changes in the atmospheric transport of water vapour.

This mass of warm water, nicknamed «the Blob,» was the result of a persistent atmospheric high - pressure ridge in the Northeastern Pacific that decreased cooling and transport of surface water.

A strengthening ACC created a barrier inhibiting intrusions of warm tropical waters and minimizing both oceanic and atmospheric heat transport resulting in the Refrigerator Effect.

Hydrologic cycle; moisture transport and air - ground exchange; water budgets of meteorological phenomena; climatology of atmospheric water

The net evaporation field (evaporation minus precipitation) shows that atmospheric water vapor is transported from the night side to the day side.

Associated with our work on atmospheric circulation patterns we are studying energy transport in the earth system and the transport of water in the atmosphere on different time and space scales.

The identified atmospheric feedbacks including changes in planetary albedo, in water vapour distribution and in meridional latent heat transport are all poorly represented in zonal energy balance model as the one used in [7] whereas they appear to be of primary importance when focusing on ancient greenhouse climates.

So warmer - than - normal surface waters in the South Atlantic created by the changes in atmospheric circulation during an El Niño should be transported northward into the North Atlantic (and vice versa for a La Niña).

Storms help replenish warm water next to the ice, and help carry addtional heat into the melting region via atmospheric transport of warmer moist air.

The purpose is to evaluate model ability to get the seasons right, ocean and atmospheric transport right, hydrology and water vapor right, and so on.

I meant this one: Makarieva, A. M., Gorshkov, V. G., and Li, B. - L.: Revisiting forest impact on atmospheric water vapor transport and precipitation, Theor.

The storms are being driven by an «atmospheric river,» which, as NOAA explains, is a «relatively narrow» region in the atmosphere «responsible for most of the horizontal transport of water vapor outside of the tropics.»

CO2 is a «well mixed» gas in the atmosphere despite all the sources and sinks, despite the 180 ppm reading in the ice cores being too low to support C3 plants, despite the daily and seasonal sawtooth Also see former EPA scientist — slide 24: «Most of the atmospheric carbon dioxide is being transported by water droplets.»

All that is needed is to add heat carried upwards past the denser atmosphere (and most CO2) by convection and the latent heat from water changing state (the majority of heat transport to the tropopause), the albedo effects of clouds, the inability of long wave «downwelling» (the blue balls) to warm water that makes up 2 / 3rds of the Earth's surface, and that due to huge differences in enthalpy dry air takes far less energy to warm than humid air so temperature is not a measure of atmospheric heat content.

I thought the idea was that an increase in the atmospheric radiative forcing from above would warm the skin layer a bit, reducing the temp gradient to the water layer below, thus impeding the transport of absorbed solar energy up and back out of the ocean, and thus making it pile up to increase OHC.

The basic results of this climate model analysis are that: (1) it is increase in atmospheric CO2 (and the other minor non-condensing greenhouse gases) that control the greenhouse warming of the climate system; (2) water vapor and clouds are feedback effects that magnify the strength of the greenhouse effect due to the non-condensing greenhouse gases by about a factor of three; (3) the large heat capacity of the ocean and the rate of heat transport into the ocean sets the time scale for the climate system to approach energy balance equilibrium.

This is because of the North Atlantic Current and large - scale atmospheric circulation which transport warm water and air masses from lower latitudes northwards across the Atlantic and along the coast of Norway to Svalbard (Figure 1).

Depending on the conditions the clouds encounter, they can release the atmospheric gases and in particular CO2 and water as vapor into the atmosphere or transport the gases to the ground in rain drops.
