Sentences with phrase «calculate atmospheric heat»

Not exact matches

If we had launched the Triana / DSCOVR climate satellite ten years ago, instead of mothballing it, we'd probably have robust answers to the energy budget question, and we could get the ocean heat change by calculating the (total energy change)- (atmospheric warming).

If you were to calculate a change in atmospheric heat content, that would be closer to your suggestion, and while I don't think it would look much different, it is not the same metric.

With respect to your statement that «No one calculates the surface temperature (which is well observed) using the atmospheric heat content».

Now that I have answered your challenge to the question in your original post, you have changed the question to «'' No one calculates the surface temperature (which is well observed) using the atmospheric heat content».

The quote from the NRC report is, frankly, a little odd, since it is bizarre that anyone would attempt to calculate the surface temperature (which is well observed) using the atmospheric heat content and climate sensitivity (which are not).

The surface temperature response, T, to a given change in atmospheric CO2 is calculated from an energy balance equation for the surface, with heat removed either by a radiative damping term or by diffusion into the deep ocean.

We analyze spatial patterns of precipitation globally associated with forest loss by calculating shifts in the global tropical precipitation band, the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), associated with changes in cross-equatorial atmospheric heat transport using equation 2.21 from [33].

The atmospheric heating and cooling rates are then passed back to the atmosphere structure module that calculates how much the surface and atmospheric temperatures would change during the 30 - minute times step given the radiative heating and cooling rates.

I know many clever scientists have produced figures calculating the heat budget of the atmospheric greenhouse effect but the value to be fixed to the convective process as a negative forcing has not been adequately quantified as far as I know.

The researchers calculated that humans and most mammals, which have internal body temperatures near 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit, will experience a potentially lethal level of heat stress at wet - bulb temperature above 95 degrees sustained for six hours or more, said Matthew Huber, the Purdue professor of earth and atmospheric sciences who co-authored the paper that is currently available online and will be published in an upcoming issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences....

If you have good measurements of upper ocean and atmospheric temperatures, then if you had a good decade - long satellite record of the Earth's total radiative energy balance from space — say, if Triana has been launched to in the late 1990s — then you could use conservation of energy to calculate the rate of heat uptake by the deep ocean over the past ten years.
