However, changes in the distribution of snowfall through the year, conceivably linked to increases in sea surface temperature, may have reduced the reflectivity of the glacier and played an even bigger role in forcing the retreat than
changes in air temperature alone.
Not exact matches
The
air conditioner can be set to automatic and left
alone, or you can use one of seven buttons
in the center of the dash to
change temperature, fan speed or the direction of the
air.
2) If minor
changes in the
air attempt to make the
air temperature alone diverge from that equilibrium then the weather systems
change to modify the energy flow and
in due course restore the surface
air temperature to match the sea surface
temperature set by the oceans.
The observed
changes in air temperature that we notice and measure occur during the process of equalisation and are fully explicable by that process
alone.
All I contend is that sun and oceans together with the variable speed of the hydrological cycle assisted by the latitudinal movements of the
air circulation systems and the vertical movement of the tropopause overwhelmingly provide the background trend and combine to prevent
changes in the
air alone changing the Earth's equilibrium
temperature.
ii)
Changes in the
air alone can not affect the global equilibrium
temperature because of oceanic dominance that always seeks to maintain sea surface and surface
air equilibrium whatever the
air tries to do.
