Sentences with phrase «equatorial air»

Though cool and dry relative to equatorial air, the air masses at the 60th parallel are still sufficiently warm and moist to undergo convection and drive a thermal loop.

So unless the air circulation becomes more zonal / poleward again we will continue to see more incursions of both polar and equatorial air masses into the mid latitudes (with the greater extremes that implies) but with a generally cooling trend.

It guides the movement of mid latitude depressions and effectively marks an interface between warmer equatorial air and colder polar air.

Thus, when the ocean circulations increase the resistor efficiency of the oceans by slowing the release of energy into the air then the air follows by increasing it's own resistor efficiency by exposing less equatorial air to space.

It does that by means of the weather systems moving towards the equator and thereby reducing the size of the equatorial air mass.

It does that by means of the weather systems moving towards the poles and thereby increasing the size of the equatorial air mass.

Changes in climate can cause the polar jet stream — the boundary between the cold North Pole air and the warm equatorial air — to migrate south, bringing with it cold, Arctic air.

As the equatorial air warms up, it expands and rises.

Not exact matches

Spawned by the Sea Atlantic hurricanes often develop over equatorial waters off the African coast, where colliding winds generate thunderstorms fueled by warm, humid air.

Modelling the flow of air within the atmospheres of these planets, Carone and her colleagues found that this unusual day - night divide can have a marked effect on the distribution of ozone across the atmosphere: at least for these planets, the major air flow may lead from the poles to the equator, systematically trapping the ozone in the equatorial region.

Rising air over the Atlantic subsides over the equatorial Pacific, causing central Pacific sea surface cooling, which in turn reinforces the large - scale wind anomalies.

In recent times, volcanic fallout has been known to interfere with an equatorial belt of air called the Intertropical Convergence Zone that seasonally shifts up and down around the world, bringing monsoon rains either north or south depending on the time of year.

Volcanic fallout is known from more recent times to interfere with an equatorial belt of air called the Intertropical Convergence Zone that seasonally shifts up and down around the world, bringing monsoon rains either north or south depending on the time of year.

In a new study, Ashfold and his team show that these «cold surges» can very quickly transport polluted air from countries such as China to remote parts of equatorial Southeast Asia.

«These chemicals enter the atmosphere at lower latitudes where they were used, and are then deposited down from the cold polar air, so Arctic animals are more highly exposed than animals in more temperate or equatorial regions,» University of Florida researcher Margaret James (who wasn't involved in the study) told New Scientist.

The equatorial dash vent mixes horizontal and vertical air jets to precisely angle the flow as you desire, controlled by moving a dot on a crosshair on the touchscreen.

As far as water vapor in the tropics, they even say» In the humid equatorial regions, where there is so much water vapour in the air that the greenhouse effect is very large, adding a small additional amount of CO2 or water vapour has only a small direct impact on downward infrared radiation.»

In the humid equatorial regions, where there is so much water vapour in the air that the greenhouse effect is very large, adding a small additional amount of CO2 or water vapour has only a small direct impact on downward infrared radiation.

As the diverted air in the troposphere moves toward the poles, it tends to retain the angular momentum of the near - equatorial region, which is large as a result of Earth's rotation.

As (relatively) warmer tropical air slowly circulated (colder poles), first Earth's polar oceans would freeze, then the mid-latitudes, then even the equatorial oceans.

Because the vertical sun travels back and forth across the Equatorial regions — mostly ocean — the air becomes warm and humid, and becomes buoyant.

If there is no cause of El Niño - La Niña, but it is an oscillation of the coupled equatorial Pacific air - ocean system, other oscillations are coupled with this one.

As reported by the IPCC in the Physical Science Basis, «In the humid equatorial regions, where there is so much water vapour in the air that the greenhouse effect is very large, adding a small additional amount of CO2 or water vapour has only a small direct impact on downward infrared radiation.

Sorry I don't have graphs of surface air temperatures or TLT for the tropical Pacific, but to help show this using sea surface temperatures, not anomalies, the following graph captures the sea surface temperature gradients across the equatorial Pacific one year before the peak of the 1997/98 El Niño, at its peak, and at the peak of the trailing first La Niña season: And as sea surface temperature anomalies:

25 kg / m ² is about the global average of water vapour on the air that goes from 1 or 2 kg / m ² (extreme winter polar conditions) up to 80 kg / m ² (near the equatorial convective «chimney» at the confluence of the trade winds)

(Because of condensation during the equatorial ascent, which hot wet tropical monsoons tend to dump on New Guinea, Bangkok, etc., the air descending at 30 degrees ends up being pretty dry, but that's not super-important here.)

I also bet that regions with saturated air rarely have temperatures go much above the temperature associated with saturation, ie the Equatorial area would have stable rain forest temperatures and wild swings in the deserts.

On January 3 and 4, the first of two back - to - back atmospheric river storms (wide paths of moisture in the atmosphere composed of condensed water vapor), brought heavy rain and mountain snow to central California, ahead of an even more intense round of heavy precipitation brought by a powerful, long - duration atmospheric river storm pulling warm and moist air to California from the subtropical and equatorial region southeast of Hawaii.

The descended air then travels toward the equator along the surface, replacing the air that rose from the equatorial zone, closing the loop of the Hadley cell.

The process begins when strong convective activity over equatorial East Asia and subsiding cool air off South America's west coast creates a wind pattern which pushes Pacific water westward and piles it up in the western Pacific.

Warm air rises over the equatorial, continental, and western Pacific Ocean regions.

It is this straight line air movement which sets up the equatorial current.

The tropical oceans take up vast amounts of energy through air - sea heat fluxes, especially in the equatorial regions dominated by wind - driven upwelling of cold water.

The ENSO cycle refers to the coherent and sometimes very strong year - to - year variations in sea - surface temperatures, convective rainfall, surface air pressure, and atmospheric circulation that occur across the equatorial Pacific Ocean.
