Sentences with phrase «cyclone energy in»

It will also be interesting to see plaintiffs explain this graph of accumulated cyclone energy in the light of their theory that man - made global warming is increasing hurricane strengths and frequencies (ACE is a sort of integration of hurricane and tropical storm strengths over time).

What if total tropical cyclone energy in the North Atlantic does increase greatly with AGW as some believe?

Not exact matches

The team found that whether a cyclone develops depends on two parameters: the size of the planet relative to the size of an average thunderstorm on it, and how much storm - induced energy is in its atmosphere.

The Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) index of tropical cyclone activity also indicated a below - average season in the North Atlantic.

As the planet warms from increasing greenhouse gases, more energy is going into the oceans, which is an important component in the strength of hurricanes (also known as tropical cyclones).

It should be remembered that in 2005 the accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) value in the North Atlantic was around 250.

For middle latitudes, extratropical cyclones are the principal actor in the energy cycle in the atmosphere.

If tropical cyclone occurrence decreases, less of the heat is dissipated, and unless ocean circulation in some way compensates by transporting the additional thermal energy elsewhere (i.e. for example out of the «main development region» of the Atlantic) some day a storm will tap the enhanced energy source.

In looking at the accumulated cyclone energy index, COAPS at Florida State University noted that this was the lowest year for activity in the Northern Hemisphere since 1977, as the Atlantic, western Pacific and Eastern Pacific were all below normal in their activitIn looking at the accumulated cyclone energy index, COAPS at Florida State University noted that this was the lowest year for activity in the Northern Hemisphere since 1977, as the Atlantic, western Pacific and Eastern Pacific were all below normal in their activitin the Northern Hemisphere since 1977, as the Atlantic, western Pacific and Eastern Pacific were all below normal in their activitin their activity.

Indeed, the very strong interannual variability of global hurricane ACE (energy) highly correlated to ENSO, suggests that the role of tropical cyclones in climate is modulated very strongly by the big movers and shakers in large - scale, global climate.

I have devoted 30 years to conducting research on topics including climate feedback processes in the Arctic, energy exchange between the ocean and atmosphere, the role of clouds and aerosols in the climate system, and the impact of climate change on the characteristics of tropical cyclones.

That Arctic cyclone sucked a LOT of energy out of that water which helps form new ice in the gaps between the broken bits.

«With the exception of the South Pacific Ocean, all tropical cyclone basins show increases in the lifetime - maximum wind speeds of the strongest storms... Our results are qualitatively consistent with the hypothesis that as the seas warm, the ocean has more energy to convert to tropical cyclone wind.»

The paper urges caution in using economic losses of tropical cyclones as justification for action on energy policies when far more potentially effective options are available.

It finds in all cases that efforts to reduce vulnerability to losses, often called climate adaptation, have far greater potential effectiveness to reduce damage related to tropical cyclones than efforts to modulate the behaviour of storms through greenhouse gas emissions reduction policies, typically called climate mitigation and achieved through energy policies.

When comparing a category 5 and a category 6 tropical cyclone of the same duration, given the difference in their intensity characterized by maximum wind speed, the kinetic energy of the category 6 storm of 165 to 185 knots would be 139 % — 175 % higher than the category 5 storm of 140 knots, Lin said.

Brightness temperatures, a measure of microwave energy coming out of Earth's atmosphere, are useful in estimating the intensity of convection in tropical cyclones.

The warmer the water, the more energy gets sucked in the air and the faster a tropical cyclone develops into a hurricane and the more powerful this hurricane can grow — other complex meteorological factors left aside.

Hybrid storms and climate change: Sandy, continues Emanuel, is a «hybrid storm» — in other words, it has characteristics of tropical cyclones (hurricanes) that get their energy from the warm ocean surface, but also of winter cyclones that get their energy from temperature contrasts in the atmosphere.

My favorite talk in the regular sessions was «Power Law and Scaling in the Energy of Tropical Cyclones» by A. Corral, A. Osso; J. LLebot.

In the researchers» words: «About 60 % of all tropical cyclones moving from waters off of Africa pass through 61.5 ° W south of 25.0 ° N, the remaining 40 % either moving north of 25.0 ° N, dying out or re-curving to the east of 61.5 ° W.» Chenoweth and Divine note that LACE is «highly correlated» with Carribbean basin - wide Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) since 1899.

Hurricanes (Fig. 7) and other tropical cyclones can be thought of as heat engines that take energy in by evaporating warm ocean water, and eject it at a colder temperature near the tropopause after air rises and water condenses in the eyewall [14].

A cyclone is very much of a relatively quick and focused discharge of a bit of energy in this capacitor to the atmosphere, and it would be absolutely invalid to measure the energy only in sensible heat!

This contrast in surface warming along the U.S. coast drives the frequent generation of cyclones, or low - pressure systems, that cross the Atlantic and are very efficient in drawing the upper atmosphere's energy down to the height of the turbines.

Occasionally the stupid events are severe and damaging; we're in the midst of a huge cyclone, now, driven by unholy amounts of energy.

A few months ago, the Department of Energy (DOE) made a request to one of its national labs, the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), to study the impacts on the electricity grid of a severe cold snap called the bomb cyclone that hit the Northeast in early January 2018.
