Sentences with phrase «equal the energy input»

While it is true that infrared is absorbed in a thin skin at the top of the water, even if the water were completely quiescent this would still lead to the skin layer heating up until emission (plus evaporation and all the other terms we include in the surface budget) equalled the energy input.

Not exact matches

Sadly, the entire AGW camp simply can not grasp the fact that energy input will always equal energy output on a planet.

Theorem: The steady - state dissipation of a thermodynamic system due to an energy flux between two isothermal surfaces equals the maximum rate of work possible for a Carnot engine operating between these same temperatures given the same energy input.

What this tells me is that even with different energy input (SH absorbs more energy due to lower clear sky albedo) clouds regulated the albedo of both hemispheres to be equal, ie clouds actively control the surface temps, actually I should say that water vapor actively regulates surface temps.

Similarly when the molecule is hit by a magnetic wave it will not reach its full kinetic and radiative potential until all its parts are moving in such a way as to propagate a field of disturbance equal to the constant of the energy input over time.
