Sentences with phrase «energy equilibrium»

If a system is only in local energy equilibrium then different parts of the system can have different amounts of energy.

As we will see below, it seems to be rapid enough to keep the atmosphere in complete energy equilibrium over distances of hundreds of kilometres.

So a small amount of change in any of the greenhouse gases concentration will have effects on the global energy equilibrium.

Could the difference between the land temperature anomaly and ocean temperature anomaly be used to calculate how far away from energy equilibrium the planet is?

Now, astute readers might be wondering about our earlier discussion on energy equilibrium.

In Section 3, we explained that a fundamental assumption of the greenhouse effect theory is that the atmosphere is only in local energy equilibrium.

However, when we consider the conventional energy transmission mechanisms usually assumed to be possible, they are just not fast enough to keep the atmosphere in complete energy equilibrium.

It's just fundamental physics that this large radiative forcing must result in global warming until the Earth reaches a new energy equilibrium at a higher temperature.

When the x-ray source sent out pulses as short as 80 millions of billionths of a second, the researchers could see the first short period of the crystal melting, which occurred in an unexpected way: The atoms diverged from their initial energy equilibrium while the average crystalline structure remained — a rarely studied behavior that could not have been seen as clearly with other techniques.

Maintenance energy requirements (MER) describe the amount of energy an animal needs to support energy equilibrium and accounts for thermoregulation, spontaneous activity and exercise.

ie Mother Nature (physics) has a perfect feedback mechanism that maintains energy equilibrium instantaneously regardless of how we mess up the atmosphere.

The greenhouse effect theory explicitly assumes that the atmosphere is only in local energy equilibrium.

But, our results in Papers 1 and 2 suggested that the atmosphere were effectively in complete energy equilibrium — at least over the distances from the bottom of the troposphere to the top of the stratosphere.

Gravity, the mass - energy equilibrium, trees and mountains, as well as pain and suffering, love, joy and hate existed because human beings had individually and collectively decided upon a world in which they were necessary.

For a system in energy equilibrium, if one part of the system loses energy and starts to become unusually low in energy, energy flows from another part of the system to keep the average constant.

We are talking about «thermodynamic equilibrium», not «thermal equilibrium» (We also use the term «energy equilibrium» in this blog summary as an approximate synonym for «thermodynamic equilibrium», but that is only to simplify the terminology for our non-physicist readers — we explain this in Section 3 when we define «energy equilibrium»)

The greenhouse effect theory explicitly relies on the assumption that the atmosphere is in local energy equilibrium, yet until we carried out our research, nobody seems to have actually experimentally tested if that assumption was valid.

Anyway, because the models assume the atmosphere is only in local energy equilibrium, they conclude that when the ozone absorbs the ultraviolet light, it heats up the air in the ozone layer.

If the atmosphere is in energy equilibrium, then as soon as one part of the atmosphere starts gaining more energy than another, the atmosphere should start rapidly redistributing that energy, and thereby restoring energy equilibrium.

The greenhouse effect theory explicitly relies on the assumption that the air is only in local energy equilibrium.

First, it relies on the assumption that the atmosphere is only in local energy equilibrium, which has never been proven.

They explicitly assume that the atmosphere is not in energy equilibrium, but only in local energy equilibrium.

We think the conflict arises because the greenhouse effect theory explicitly assumes that the atmosphere is only in local thermodynamic equilibrium (what we refer to as «local energy equilibrium» in the above essay).

As we will see later, the greenhouse effect theory fundamentally requires that the atmosphere is only in local energy equilibrium.
