Temperate, mesic forests (TMFs) are generally viewed as being in a shifting - mosaic or a kind of
dynamic equilibrium at broad spatial scales.
Not exact matches
And I'd venture to say that a tropical forest — any forest for that matter — is never
at a «resting
equilibrium» but is always
dynamic, and always «productive»!
In the new view, the brain looks like «a fluctuating mosaic of areas in a state of
dynamic equilibrium,» says V. S. Ramachandran, a neuroscientist
at the University of California, San Diego.
Set in context it is immediately clear what they mean with «decades to respond», the time it takes for the system to arrive
at a new
dynamic equilibrium, a lag caused by the thermal inertia mainly from the oceans.
The alternative formula, that a change in temperature causes a change in
dynamic equilibrium between CO2 release and CO2 absorption is far more normal in nature: higher temperatures lead to a new
equilibrium at a higher CO2 level.
Nowhere in the atmosphere is
at equilibrium (except in the sense of a
dynamic equilibrium with continuous energy flows).
I think both side of the discussion should be looking
at Tom's definition of the LDE (Local
Dynamic Equilibrium) AS an
Equilibrium.
I have just definitively proven above that it is not a feature of static
equilibrium, it is a
dynamic phenomena caused by differential and irregular time dependent heating and cooling, where the bulk of the heating is
at the surface, but where heat loss occurs to some extent very high up in the atmosphere as well.
These same parcels are large enough to be macroscopically in hydrostatic
equilibrium, supported by the well - defined pressure of their neighboring parcels of fluid and
at rest, locked in place by the
dynamic viscosity so that to move them one has to do work or otherwise input external energy into a parcel to destabilize them, overcoming «friction».
If you want to prove that there is a non-GHG GE involving the
dynamic motion of gases, play right on through, but realize that Jelbring's paper isn't about that and is incorrect because it ascribes the same effect to a completely static, completely dry ideal gas that has been left in place, isolated, for a billion years (or as long as
equilibrium takes, which won't be anywhere near a billion years
at a joule of conductive transport per meter of atmosphere per degree kelvin of temperature difference per 40 seconds).
QUOTE: «As shown on figure 17 - D the regions for absorption and out - gassing are separate; there is no «global»
equilibrium between the atmosphere and the ocean; carbon absorbed tens of years ago
at high latitudes is resurfacing in up - wellings; carbon absorbed by plants months to centuries ago is degassed by soils Sorry, there is a fundamental lack of knowledge of
dynamic systems here: as long as the total of the CO2 influxes is the same as the total of the CO2 outfluxes, nothing happens in the atmosphere.
Most commonly I find the assumption that the radiative balance and
equilibrium calculations (ignoring non-radiative transfer) are directly relevant to the
dynamic climate, to
at least the first significant figure and
at a short time frame.
Which implies that the CO2 cycle was a simple
dynamic equilibrium process in pre-industrial times... No problem
at all for science.
It should be remembered that this is a
dynamic response where T represents a temporary deviation from the temperature that would be
at equilibrium with the instantaneous ocean pCO2 level.
At the moment, we have a
dynamic equilibrium, and our traditional large - scale publishers continue to support Canadian legal publishing.
Divorce counseling
at Equilibria uses co-parent coaching to anticipate the inevitable changes and also to provide the tools necessary to manage the transitions and rough patches that are intrinsic to the shifting the family
dynamic during this difficult period.
