Sentences with phrase «by turbulent air»

The Japanese researchers who first described the hum in 1998 suggested it might be caused by turbulent air in the atmosphere pounding on land.

Not exact matches

An instrument - laden light aircraft penetrated the towering smoke plume of the fire, registering an 80 mile per hour updraft of hot, buoyant air, followed by a turbulent downdraft.

Above a certain speed — measured by a parameter called the Reynolds number, which accounts for ball's size and the air's viscosity — the air on the surface of the ball itself becomes turbulent.

«By sensing gusts and disturbances in air flow through their feathers, birds are able to fly gracefully rather than bouncing around in turbulent air,» he said.

The aerodynamic work is similarly extensive, with an 80 - percent larger front splitter complete with F1 - style end plates, new side skirts that settle turbulent air created by the front wheels, larger side air intakes to feed the intercoolers (tilted outward to enhance efficiency) and, of course, the larger airbrake.

Notably, the quote «Mölg and Hardy (2004) show that mass loss on the summit horizontal glacier surfaces is mainly due to sublimation (i.e. turbulent latent heat flux) and is little affected by air temperature through the turbulent sensible heat flux.»

If Victor wasn't so stupid & trollish I would suggest Rob Painting's «How Increasing Carbon Dioxide Heats The Ocean» over on SkS and, by way of preparation, the added quote from IPCC AR5 WG1 3.4.1 «The net air — sea heat flux is the sum of two turbulent (latent and sensible) and two radiative (shortwave and longwave) components.»

Heated air around a structure can be mixed into surrounding air within the turbulent zone around the structure created by the wind.

But a source of great complexity in our spinning, turbulent, inhomogeneous air is the fact that it is largely heated from below, differentially by latitude, by surface properties, by cloud cover, and by time of day and time of year.

Instantaneous turbulent thermal transfer is the result of instantaneous vertical movement (of air or water), multiplied by the thermal energy content.

You can have a long period of cold air at the surface with little turbulent mixing and little energy transfer, followed by a short period of a warm surface and lots of turbulence and energy transfer - ending with a time average of warm over cold, but a time average of upward energy transfer.

This layer embeds most of the planetary boundary layer (PBL), which is affected by the surface friction and turbulent mixing, whereas the air above represents the free atmosphere (Schneider and Dickinson 1974).

Variations in SST due to variations in heat transport by ocean currents or diffusion into the thermocline are neglected while contributions by changes in evaporation, turbulent transfer, and surface radiation are estimated as being proportional to the anomalous air - sea temperature difference.

It is going to be noisy, turbulent when big trucks go by, and the air will be full of particulates and carcinogenic diesel fuel.
