Sentences with phrase «convective equilibrium models»

Of these, radiative and radiative - convective equilibrium models have received great attention..

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).

Not exact matches

For simplicity, assume all solar heating at the surface (so that the lapse rate is (1 - dimensional climate model, radiative convective equilibrium) positive or approaching zero but never negative) unless otherwise stated:

They had built the first completely correct radiative - convective implementation of the standard model applied to Earth, and used it to calculate a +2 C equilibrium warming for doubling CO2, including the water vapour feedback, assuming constant relative humidity.

Even a simple ocean model usually has a number of slightly different equilibria actually, due to shifts in the location of convective activity (by a few grid boxes - I'm not talking here about a big reorganisation of the circulation).

Through the use of a Venus climate model that couples atmospheric radiative - convective equilibrium with surface processes, we show that it is likely that Venus» climate is at or near a state of unstable equilibrium.

In our «rotating radiative convective equilibrium» simulations, a realistic model is simplified by removing land surfaces and spherical geometry, and by assuming that the underlying ocean temperatures are spatially uniform, providing a relatively simple system in which to study the formation and mature structure of hurricanes.

From its heritage from 1D radiative - convective models of the earth's atmosphere, the IPCC AR4 WGI Section 2.2 describes the concept of determining the change in equilibrium surface temperature from radiative forcing (RF):

The calculations by Kuang 2010 in which a dynamic model of radiative - convective equilibrium is perturbed systematically with different heat (and moisture) sources suggests that this is the path of least resistance for a convecting atmosphere, but that there are other possibilities as well — I need to understand this paper better.
