Sentences with phrase «equilibrium at any given level»

I think that all they represent is the temperature of the atmosphere when it is in equilibrium at any given level.

Not exact matches

In full equilibrium, at any given level, there may be some net radiative heating at some frequencies compensated by some net radiative cooling at other frequencies, with convection balancing the full spectrum radiative cooling of the troposphere and heating of the surface.

In the real climate system, at any particular time the actual change in climate would lag behind the corresponding equilibrium change for any given CO2 level, largely because of the thermal inertia of the oceans.

However it does still mean that temperatures rise — and at any given level of CO2 forcing this effect will mean a higher equilibrium temperature.

As for equilibrium, the system is never at equilibrium, but the incoming energy level is fairly constant, so the system should remain within a given temperature range, given the negative feedbacks operating during any excursions.

I am trying to get used to using W / M ^ 2 as equivalent to temperature — I agree it simplifies the explanation and, at the end of the day, any given level of equilibrium energy flux corresponds to an equilibrium temperature but still...

At that thermal equilibrium the surface temperature can be calculated using the S - B Law for any planet at a given level of solar inpuAt that thermal equilibrium the surface temperature can be calculated using the S - B Law for any planet at a given level of solar inpuat a given level of solar input.
