This reduction and a corresponding decrease in temperatures allowed ice sheets to develop in Antarctica starting 30 to 40 million years ago.

Not exact matches

The increase in sea surface temperature over the central and eastern equatorial Pacific known as El Niño, and the corresponding decrease known as La Niña, contribute to seasonal climate and weather fluctuations in many regions of the globe.

Among these, FGF21 increases insulin sensitivity and causes a corresponding decrease in basal insulin concentrations; FGF21 increases hepatic fatty acid oxidation, ketogenesis and gluconeogenesis; and, FGF21 sensitizes mice to torpor, a hibernation - like state of reduced body temperature and physical activity.

Glacial periods give way to interglacials on some occasions when the Northern Hemisphere's summer solar insolation (the amount of solar radiation received by Earth's surface) increases alongside corresponding decreases in ice volume and increases in temperature and atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2).

A decrease in ocean pH of 0.1 units corresponds to a 30 % increase in the concentration of H + in seawater, assuming that alkalinity and temperature remain constant.

The essence of the Jelbring hypothesis appears to be that as a parcel of air is raised or lowered in the Earth's gravitational field its gravitational potential energy is increased or decreased with a corresponding decrease or increase in temperature, which maintains total energy constant.

[2] Specifically, an increase / decrease in surface temperature causes a corresponding increase / decrease (not some vague changes, which might be read as variability) in atmospheric CO2.

Furthermore the volume V = NkT / P should stay more or less constant since k and P are constant while NT (product of number N of molecules with temperature T) should also remain roughly constant because although N has decreased very slightly, this is offset by the corresponding slight increase in T. (This is how I would address Eli's concern that condensation violates the ideal gas law.)

So if pressure is constant it, the partial pressure of H2O could increase, but also temperature in constant, a increase in pressure also corresponds increase in partial pressure [or decrease in pressure, decreases H20 partial pressure.

A simple linear fit model suggests that an increase in global cloud cover of 1 percent corresponds to a global temperature decrease of about 0.07 oC.

Increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases are expected to induce temperature decreases and a contraction of the upper atmosphere, resulting in a corresponding density decrease at a given height.
