Sentences with phrase «by evaporation drawing»

If that cooler 1 mm layer is indeed caused by evaporation drawing energy away upwards then more evaporation should logically cause more cooling of the ocean bulk not less.

Not exact matches

Vegetation tends to have a cooling effect by circulating moisture in the air that draws away heat during evaporation.

Alarmists have drawn some support for increased claims of tropical storminess from a casual claim by Sir John Houghton of the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) that a warmer world would have more evaporation, with latent heat providing more energy for disturbances.

Thus there is a temperature inversion caused in part by evaporation whereby energy is drawn out of the oceans faster than energy coming up from below plus solar shortwave entering into the cooler subskin layer.

When evaporation occurs more energy is drawn from the surroundings than is added to the molecule by the photon.

Now the sun would be expected to set up an undisturbed gradient from cold at the bottom to warm at the top but it does not because upward radiation from the surface plus energy drawn upwards by evaporation at the surface creates a layer 1 mm deep near the surface (the subskin) which is 0.3 C cooler than the water below it.
