Sentences with phrase «by the heat capacity»

(In the full 4 - dimensional climate, responses can also tend spread horizontally by convection (advection) and temporally by heat capacity, though «fingerprints» of horizontal and temporal variations in RF (externally imposed and feedback — snow and ice albedo, for example) can remain — this spreading is somewhat different as it relies in part on the circulation already present as well as circulation changes)

The stunning «heating by cooling» effect corresponds, in physical terms, to a negative heat capacity.

Renner's statement can be illustrated by the Bitcoin boom: it is not computing capacity itself, but the exorbitant energy use — which produces a huge amount of heat — and the associated costs that have become the deciding factors for the future of the cryptocurrency.

But wouldn't a closer model be the first order ODE, where the difference between absorbed solar power and lost black body power has to equal the change in temperature with respect to time multiplied by the terrestrial and atmospheric combined heat capacity:

CO2 ppm effects a radiative forcing in W / m ^ 2 and temperature response to forcing in K is mediated by a host of feedbacks and heat capacities.

It seems clear to me that the ocean surface warming is being suppressed by its large heat capacity, while the land has very little heat capacity and is not being suppressed (rather than amplified).

Re 583 Chris Korda — having looked at the graph, setting aside the effect of varying response times of different parts of the system as suggested by Chris Dudley (if I'm remembering correctly), one would expect all heat - capacity - delayed responses to always be approaching the instantaneous (zero heat capacity) response, which is why their slopes should change sign when they intersect the instantaneous curves.

for 1.5 m root depth»,» back to full heat capacity, to avoid cd oscillations», «set im = 36, jm = 24», «divide canopy heat capacities by 10.

«Since the ocean component of the climate system has by far the biggest heat capacity», I've been wondering if the cool waters of the deep ocean could be used to mitigate the effects of global warming for a few centuries until we have really depleated our carbon reserves and the system can begin to recover on its own.

Since it reflects the capacity of the climate system to absorb heat, it may be influenced by the planetary albedo (sea - ice and snow) and ice - caps, which respond to temperature changes.

In equilibrium, all fluxes into the surface will be balanced by fluxes out of the surface (including momentum, etc, as well as energy), so whatever lies beneath the surface gives the surface an effective heat capacity and also (in the oceans) some ability for local / regional imbalances to be balanced globally, with all of that responding to forcings and PR+CR and other feedbacks at the surface.

BUT that if we continue to add CO2 to the air, the air has the added heat capacity to get warmer, IF and ONLY IF driven by the sun, but rapidly come to equilibrium with the ocean, by means of rain and the daily heating & condensation of the water vapor feedback mechanism.

Re 157 Mark, your land - ocean heat capacity argument appears to suggest that the SH would be warmer than the NH, because of more efficient energy capture by the oceans.

Re 9 wili — I know of a paper suggesting, as I recall, that enhanced «backradiation» (downward radiation reaching the surface emitted by the air / clouds) contributed more to Arctic amplification specifically in the cold part of the year (just to be clear, backradiation should generally increase with any warming (aside from greenhouse feedbacks) and more so with a warming due to an increase in the greenhouse effect (including feedbacks like water vapor and, if positive, clouds, though regional changes in water vapor and clouds can go against the global trend); otherwise it was always my understanding that the albedo feedback was key (while sea ice decreases so far have been more a summer phenomenon (when it would be warmer to begin with), the heat capacity of the sea prevents much temperature response, but there is a greater build up of heat from the albedo feedback, and this is released in the cold part of the year when ice forms later or would have formed or would have been thicker; the seasonal effect of reduced winter snow cover decreasing at those latitudes which still recieve sunlight in the winter would not be so delayed).

Cox et al.'s calculations were also based on another assumption somewhat related to different time scales for different feedback mechanisms: a constant «heat capacity» represented by C in the equation above.

One fact is clear, according to a report issued today by a panel convened by the National Academy of Sciences at the behest of United States intelligence agencies: The country lacks the capacity to clarify what lies ahead as greenhouse heating continues, so gird for surprises.

The problem in New England, which has resulted in electricity prices that are four times higher than normal for sustained periods, is that all of the pipeline transmission capacity has been purchased by the local gas distribution companies that sell gas for home heating and retail uses.

By the time it cools below 25C the above figures show that it hs little more heat capacity than N2 or O2.
