Sentences with phrase «evaporation rates»

High evaporation rates in a warm autumn can actually lead to more ice cover the following winter and slower ice breakup in the spring, because the water is colder after evaporation.

Other factors that influence evaporation rates are the surface area, temperature and airflow.

As temperatures rise from the increase of greenhouse gases, evaporation rates from soils increase, which can worsen drought and dry out vegetation, creating ample fuel for fires.

Higher temperatures appear to be raising evaporation rates and drying out the country's interior.

The increased temperatures cause higher evaporation rates meaning more moisture is pulled out of the tees.

If we contend that seas are warming, wouldn't that lead to higher evaporation rates resulting in more cloud cover.

I understand that there are people who track evaporation rates and somehow there is CO2 tracking.

Low evaporation rates can make this a humid climate.

With warmer temperatures, what snow there is melts earlier, and evaporation rates go up, reducing water supply even more.

Likewise, there are many ways to distribute precipitation in time and space that would balance a particular global average evaporation rate.

As the temperature increases, the water vapor pressure (hence by inference the water evaporation rate on non-dry surface) increases supralinearly; that is, a 1K increase from 288 K is much less than a 1K increase from 308K.

... the approximate rate of washout of carbon dioxide from the Earth's atmosphere via rainwater can be determined from the known ocean evaporation rate and from the known solubility of CO2 in distilled water as a function of temperature and CO2 partial pressure.

What surprised me was that such a significant effect was unrecognized in all the years that the pan evaporation rate had been measured, even though it has been affecting global temperatures.

Since 2008, a meteorological station at the lighthouse has been measuring evaporation rates at Lake Superior.

A steadily escalating whipsaw between drought and flood is one of the most confident predictions of an atmosphere with enhanced evaporation rates — meaning, global warming.

Evaporation rates [don't just go up] just a little bit, they go up a lot when you raise the temperature a degree or two.

In combination these two could possibly produce a «measurable» decline in the rates of warming, but I suspect that it would be measurable only if there was an equivalent Earth without the greater melting and evaporation rates so that a comparison could be made.

I'd also think humidity at low windspeed would be pretty close to saturated in the air right next to the skin layer, limiting evaporation rate, and that wouldn't change as quickly when cloud cover changed, compared to radiation rates.

The steady increase in global temperatures, including average temperatures in Australia, means that even when rainfall is at or near the historical average, conditions are drier than before because evaporation rates are higher.

The Australian Bureau of Meteorology records an annual evaporation rate at Port Augusta, South Australia, of around two metres.

The response of canopy evaporation to diminishing soil moisture was quantified by comparing normalized evaporation rates (in terms of equilibrium evaporation) with soil water potential and volumetric water content measurements.

Also, if the vegetation changes substantially — low grass to shrubs and trees - then this could change water evaporation rates around the station and alter air temperatures.

As things cooled off, and evaporation rates eased, a return of subsoil moisture and then standing playa lakes would occur.

At its root, drought results from lowered precipitation and sometimes higher temperatures (which increase evaporation rates).

The wind can influence evaporation rates by blowing more strongly or more weakly.

Deserts are arid regions, generally receiving less than 25 centimeters (10 inches) of precipitation a year, or regions where the potential evaporation rate is significantly greater than the precipitation.

Anyway, a while back I saw a Nova / BBC special about the Global Dimming phenomenon (pan evaporation rate, etc.) that apparently had been discovered fairly recently, sometime in the late 90's I believe.
