Sentences with phrase «capacity slows the response»

Not exact matches

Setting aside the effects of the deep ocean, etc, — ie just using a single unified reservoir's heat capacity — and using only fast feedbacks (I didn't introduce any slow feedbacks anywhere in this particular series of comments), the expectation based on physics is that each delayed response T curve (each of which must correspond to a different value of heat capacity, for the same ECS) must have a maximum or minimum when it intersects the instantaneous response curve (my Teq value)-- maximum if it was below Teq before, minimum if it was above — because it is always going toward Teq.

The reasons include a lack of relevant city policies and action plans; existence of regulations on urban planning and environment which have not been adjusted to manage climate change; slow response to climate disasters due to lack of capacity and resources; and lack of public awareness on climate variability and climate change - induced hazard mitigation.

``... whereas the thermal lag of water by contrast is great and whilst energy is being absorbed due to its large heat capacity the response is slow...»

A thin sheet of metal quickly absorbs the solar energy, and having good conductivity, quickly converting it into an increase in heat whereas the thermal lag of water by contrast is great and whilst energy is being absorbed due to its large heat capacity the response is slow.
