Sentences with word «convective»

The word "convective" refers to a process that involves the movement of heat or particles through a fluid, such as air or water, due to differences in temperature or density. Full definition
The obvious increase in this metric is consistent with an increase of convective heat fluxes (i.e. point # 3).
Isolated rain showers show no change in intensity with increasing temperatures, but rising temperatures lead to more frequent collisions of convective cloud systems.
Since apparently the mechanism for adding energy for GHGs is by calculating the extra energy that GHGs add by staying in the air longer (ie increased transit time to space) was the equivalent (reduced transit time) for convective feedback included?
Jensen, M.P., and A.D. Del Genio, 2003: Radiative and microphysical characteristics of deep convective systems in the tropical Western Pacific.
ENSO has been proposed as a self - regulator of temperature that increases in convective activity in response to temperature differential.
The Planck response of 1.2 K for GCMs comes from one - dimensional radiative convective equilibrium models (1DRCM) that assume the fixed lapse rate of 6.5 K / km (FLRA) and use the mathematical method of Cess (1976), equation (3).
The moon is not big enough to have the same strong convective cooling process that Earth has in its interior, he explains, and ordinarily convection is one of the main mechanisms thought to lead to large - scale rifting.
Instead of badgering Gavin, why not just Google & read a few papers on convective parameterizations in GCMs?
«We found that aerosol indirect effect on deep convective cloud systems could lead to enhanced regional convergence and a strong top - of - atmosphere warming.»
Your eqn for Convective transfer is using a Delta T between the Earths surface and the ground level atmosphere since this is the only basis for analysing convection.
The energy, known as convective available potential energy (CAPE), is based on heat and humidity, and both of those increase in a warming world.
I was talking about the fit to convective fluxes using the mathematical model of McKay et al..
The water vapor in the region right above the tropical convective boundary layer has the weakest dependence on the local temperature.
About 120,000 miles beneath the surface, the radiative zone gives way to a much more turbulent convective zone that is constantly churning like a pot of boiling water.
That ruins the entire thing, and I am sold on Miskolczi's paper that because of the conservation of energy, Eu at the top of the troposphere must be 1/2 of Su or hydrostatic stabilty will be affected and lower the effective emission height of the troposphere from convective overturn and release latent heat and clouds which have the same effect.
Past modeling studies of individual cases of pollution's effect on convective clouds have shown varying results, depending on the environmental conditions.
For instance, the supposition that mid-oceanic ridges are the site of upwelling and trenches are that of sinking of the large scale convective flow can not be valid, because it is now established that actively spreading, oceanic ridges migrate and often collide with trenches» 14.
Heat is transported through the outermost 30 % of the Sun's interior by overturning convective motions.
Machado, L.A.T., W.B. Rossow, R.L. Guedes, and A.W. Walker, 1998: Life cycle variations of mesoscale convective systems over the Americas.
This concern is supported by Zhao et al. (2016), [19] who found that by varying the cumulus convective precipitation parameterization in the new GFDL AM4 model they could engineer its climate sensitivity over a wide range without being able to find any clear observational constraint that favoured one version of the model over the others.
Note also that the added LW opacity due to the CO2 increase will have little effect in the troposphere where convective energy transport is active.
The process begins when strong convective activity over equatorial East Asia and subsiding cool air off South America's west coast creates a wind pattern which pushes Pacific water westward and piles it up in the western Pacific.
Perhaps it is altogether possible that the actual climate sensitivity of the Earth is greater than currently proposed as feedbacks such as increased convective cooling, as well as cloud mediated reflective aerosol cooling reduces surface temperatures in a limited response range.
First noticed by amateur astronomers, the massive storm works like the much smaller convective events on Earth, where air and water vapor are pushed high into the atmosphere, resulting in the towering, billowing clouds of a thunderstorm.
It rotates much faster than Star Aa, resulting in enhanced chromospheric activity, but its high surface lithium abundance suggests that the star has not formed a deep convective envelope.
