Sentences with phrase «decline with height»

The effect is to reduce the rate at which temperature would otherwise decline with height (the lapse rate).

So, there is no real «need» for the temperature to decline with height.

The slope of the temperature decline with height will be determined by the strength of the gravitational field acting on the entire mass of the atmosphere.

That warming on descent also reduces the rate of temperature decline with height which suppresses convection from the surface so that the surface on the day side then warms more than it otherwise would have done and the surface on the night side cools less quickly than it otherwise would have done..

In general, so long as there is some solar heating beneath some level, there must be a net LW + convective heat flux upward at that level to balance it in equilibrium; convection tends to require some nonzero temperature decline with height, and a net upward LW flux requires either that the temperature declines with height on the scale of photon paths (from emission to absorption), or else requires at least a partial «veiw» of space, which can be blocked by increasing optical thickness above that level.

If the temperature doesn't decline with height in that layer (perhaps because of solar heating), it is still the case that increasing the LW optical thickness will, by concentrating the source of OLR into a yet thinner layer at the top of the atmosphere, remove some of the cooling of the lower part of the original OLR source (by adding additional downward LW flux from above, replacing the darkness of space), thus tending to cause warming there.

For this reason the water vapor pressure declines with height much faster than the other (non-condensable) atmospheric gases.

The confidence has many roots: the steady decline of models of theology in which «critical appraisal» is the dominant task; receptiveness toward and fresh engagement with classical thinkers, patristic, medieval and Reformation; a sense that the Enlightenment is only one episode in the history of one (Western) culture and not a turning point in the history of humankind; the work of a number of gifted and independent - minded theologians now at the height of their powers who have shown the potency of constructive doctrinal work.

Then one may watch across the great plain while evening declines over the shoulder of the hills of Israel, silhouetting the high lookout of Elijah's Place of Sacrifice and picking out with its last rays the church - crowned summit of Tabor; he may follow the gliding cloud shadows over the wide slope toward Galilee, and cling entranced to the fleeting tints of rose and gold and violet that enshrine the friendly heights while the last rays of the westering sun, far out over the Sea, touch lightly with a ruddy promise of hope and joy the last summits of the hills.

The archeological record shows that in every measurable way human health declined with this transition, with clear evidence of physical degeneration, including a loss of height and bone density, and a dramatic increase in dental and skeletal problems.

Your positive past payment record, combined with future declining balances and an ever - increasing length of credit history, could soon cause your scores to return to their current heights and ultimately higher.

The declining density gradient with height (caused by gravity) permits lighter, warmer air to rise further away from the surface than can colder, heavier air at the same upward pressure gradient force.

Uneven conduction to the atmosphere from the illuminated surface is all that is needed combined with the declining density gradient with height.

The warmed, higher molecules cool at a rate determined by the decline of pressure with height (the lapse rate).

The inappropriately - named «greenhouse» effect is actually the effect of absorption / emission of IR radiation due to radiatively - active gases combined with the effect of declining temperature with height of the atmosphere (lapse rate).

N2 will have an average height of 9 km independent of any other molecules present, and this will follow an exponential decline with altitude.

I can't see how convection would stagnate in a non radiative atmosphere because there would still be a declining pressure gradient with height leading to a lapse rate and convection.

The science on that has been settled for a long time and is summarised here: The presence of an atmospheric lapse rate (decline of temperature with height) is discussed.

The models assume very small declines and increases (less than 1 % pp) in relative humidity at these levels over the same period (depending on height) so the data would be very inconsistent with the models and the theory.

The same can be said about how we do not know precisely how warm the globe will get in 25, 50, 100, or 150 years, dynamics do change; the 1990's was the height of recent population explosion, and even though the global population is rising steadily, the incline has decreases a bit; China, India, japan have issues with pollution, overcrowding, exponential GDP growth or decline, respectively.
