Sentences with phrase «equilibration at»

From changes in local bond distances (OH · · O and O · · · O) with time, we elucidated the structural changes in the far - from - equilibrium regime at short times and near - equilibration at long times.

Not exact matches

Solar heating of the stratosphere, properly distributed as pointed out above, will increase both, but it is possible to have some cooling, even at full equilibration of the climate system, even with direct solar heating above the tropopause.

Rather, excess CO2 returns toward baseline at a multitude a different rates, with chemical equilibration in the ocean occurring over decades (depending on depth), ocean carbonate buffering through sediment dissolution requiring centuries to millennia, and eventual restoration of carbonate sediment levels by terrestrial weathering occurring over hundreds of thousands of years — a long «tail» that can account for as much as 20 to 40 percent of CO2 excess in the estimates described by David Archer et al in CO2 Atmospheric Lifetimes.

I doubt that anyone can do this and conclude that CO2 decay rates can be characterized by a single half life, since this is incompatible with the physics underlying the multiple equilibrations that occur at different rates.

That locks global warming in for an extended period but permits the equilibration between the atmosphere and the ocean to occur at a sustainable pace.

There I think that it is pretty obvious what actually establishes a lapse rate — differential heating of the air column at the bottom, followed by a rough equilibration due to approximately adiabatic convection.

The truly extraordinary thing is that the ECS used in the Schwartz model is 0.345 deg / Wm2 with the equilibration constant set at 3.5 years.
