Sentences with phrase «constant atmospheric changes»

The Sahara is another enormous pump, fueled by constant atmospheric changes and global climate shifts.

Not exact matches

When they factored in a constant level of CO2, they discovered a surprising development: The change required a lower overall atmospheric pressure — about one - sixth today's pressure at sea level.

Both communities tend to take the change for granted, and to neglect any purely statistical or chaotic effects which could lead to excursions of the Earth's surface temperature during periods of a couple of decades, without requiring a secular change either in the solar constant or in atmospheric transparency.

Scientifically, the meteorologists, climatologists, and atmospheric physicists, who were responsible for «discovering» the human contribution to the terrestrial greenhouse effect, have been the most consistent champions of its importance, while the solar physics community, and especially those interested in solar - terrestrial relations, have increasingly stressed the possible importance of the long - term variations of the solar constant as the chief cause of climate change.

if the numbers of animals that are raised for human purposes remains relatively constant, the atmospheric greenhouse gas load doesn't change at all from this source.

Now, since there are variables present (GHG concentration, atmospheric temperature changes, etc.), the ocean temperature can not remain constant if it seeks to find equilibrium (like all things in nature).

The atmospheric Greenhouse Effect merely sets a theoretical background atmospheric temperature level that is continually overridden as a result of the size of the constant interlinked changes in both the solar and oceanic heat inputs.

The first is climate inertia — on very many levels, from fossil lock - in emissions (decades), ocean - atmospheric temperature inertia (yet more decades), Earth system temperature inertia (centuries to millennia) to ecological climate impact inertia (impacts becoming worse over time under a constant stress)-- all this to illustrate anthropogenic climate change, although already manifesting itself, is still very much an escalating problem for the future.

Because of Earth's dynamic climate, winds and atmospheric pressure systems experience constant change.

Biomass yield difference (percent change) between model runs of constant and changing atmospheric CO2 concentration.

The time constant of global atmospheric temperature change is about one month.

The large scale atmospheric circulation «cells» shift polewards in warmer periods (for example, interglacials compared to glacials), but remain largely constant as they are, fundamentally, a property of the Earth's size, rotation rate, heating and atmospheric depth, all of which change little.

In other words if non-condensing atmospheric greenhouse gas content changes the ocean reacts by changing condensing GHG in the opposite direction maintaining a constant maximal greenhouse effect.

Of note was Pouillet's analytic technique: realizing that the solar constant must be (relatively) fixed, but atmospheric absorption would differ each day due to changing atmospheric conditions; and that the latter (given sufficiently stable weather conditions) would increase as a quadratic function of the angle of the sun, Pouillet was able to tease out a simple formula to separate the two values.

Their influence on the atmospheric circulation is focused on the polar regions by the Earth's magnetic field [the opposite phase of the changes in the Arctic and the Antarctic can be explained by the phenomenon of «solar system dissymmetry» as a result of which fluctuations of solar constant occur].
