Sentences with phrase «faster than warm air»

That is bad news, because warm water melts ice much faster than warm air.

Not exact matches

Warm Water gets rid of heat from the body a bit fast than air.

Denser materials, such as liquids or solids, carry energy better, so heat is transferred to the ice more quickly through liquid than it is through air, which warms up the ice and allows it to melt faster.

Previous work by Hook using satellite data indicated that many lake temperatures were warming faster than air temperature and that the greatest warming was observed at high latitudes, as seen in other climate warming studies.

We warm them in air and in a water bath instead of in a machine and the warming rate is less precise and much faster than the cooling rate.

While the ECS factors in such «fast» feedback effects as changes in water vapor — water itself is a greenhouse gas, and saturates warm air better than cold — they argued that slow feedbacks, such as changes in ice sheets and vegetation, should also be considered.

Velders says his team came up with higher warming estimates than IPCC because their model accounts for trends that others don't, such as the faster - than expected adoption of HFCs driven by the Montreal Protocol, and an air - conditioning boom in the developing world.

The former is likely to overestimate the true global surface air temperature trend (since the oceans do not warm as fast as the land), while the latter may underestimate the true trend, since the air temperature over the ocean is predicted to rise at a slightly higher rate than the ocean temperature.

The new Envision also includes next - generation wireless charging, an upgraded hands - free microphone, heated seats that warm up faster than before, improved visibility for the rear vision camera, and an ionizer that helps block odors and improve air quality inside the vehicle.

Regardless, I would posit the worsening winter ice formation is as expected given the poles suffer first and winters warm faster than summers, BUT that this is happening within two years of the EN peak, which was my time line in 2015, one wonders if the combination of warm EN - heated Pacific waters (oceans move slowly) and warm air are a trailing edge of the EN effect OR this is signallibg a phase change driven by that EN, or is just an extreme winter event.

Second, as Gavin pointed out, the land - ocean temperature index tends to underestimate the truth because it's based on sea surface temperature rather than air temperature, while the meteorological - station index temperature tends to overestimate the truth because land warms faster than ocean.

The former is likely to overestimate the true global surface air temperature trend (since the oceans do not warm as fast as the land), while the latter may underestimate the true trend, since the air temperature over the ocean is predicted to rise at a slightly higher rate than the ocean temperature.

My understanding is that the Arctic air temperatures are warming faster than the Antarctic.

Sea ice this year is melting at a pace two to four weeks faster than normal as pulses of warm air have been streaming into the Arctic from eastern Siberia and northern Europe and sea ice has retreated early from the Beaufort Sea.

The 2009 State of the Climate report gives these top indicators: humans emitted 30 billion tons of of CO2 into the atmosphere each year from the burning of fossil fuels (oil, coal, and natural gas), less oxygen in the air from the burning of fossil fuels, rising fossil fuel carbon in corals, nights warming faster than days, satellites show less of the earth's heat escaping into space, cooling of the stratosphere or upper atmosphere, warming of the troposphere or lower atmosphere, etc..

Ice melts a lot faster in water at 10 °C than in air at 20 °C because of energy transfer rates, plus warmer air ascends and melting requires a lot of latent heat.

Problem # 1 — «All things being equal, a bottle filled with CO2 will always warm faster and to a higher temperature when heated than does a bottle filled with regular air because the specific heat of CO2 is lower than that of air.»

In answer to your question, why the CO2 raises up faster and gets warmer than air?

If what they believe is true — IR radiation is blocked by glass — then what is physically happening in these experiments is that the heat lamp is simply heating the container itself which in turn heats via conduction the gases inside of the container and again, the CO2 gas warms faster and to a higher temperature than the air because its specific heat is lower.

In these experiments the heavier carbon dioxide filled bottle warms at a faster rate than the lighter air.

Still air with either little vertical shear and relatively weak warming of the ground or with so much vertical shear that turbulence occurs and irreversibly physically mixes the air parcels faster than «reversible» adiabatic expansion can keep up favors the «isothermal» pole, although this too is almost never precisely observed.

By designing an air space between the firebox and stonework, along with room air vent openings high and low in the stone surround, I get much faster warm - up than the traditional masonry stove.

Fast action to reduce short - lived climate pollutants (SLCPs) could slow the rate of global warming while saving millions of lives over the next several decades from air pollution — which now kills more than 6 million people a year.

Nor is there good observational evidence that air over the open ocean warms faster than SST.

The increase in air temperature is not homogeneous throughout the globe — for instance, the Arctic is seeing a faster rate of warming than other areas.

The air can be warmer than the sea surface in some cases due to a combination of evaporation and radiation from the sea surface through the optical window direct to space on a clear night, removing energy faster than the air could add energy by conduction, or if winds bring in hotter air than the surface film from a different location.

Craig King - Further to Bob Loblaw's comments; that global surface air temperatures are warming faster than upper ocean temperatures is well - observed and completely uncontroversial.

Even over a small time period such as 20 minutes we are still able to get a difference of 4 °C in temperature between the two samples, the carbon dioxide warming more and faster than the air, see Figure 2.

Whereas SATs and SSTs may be very different (since air warms and cools much faster than water), their anomalies are very similar (if the water temperature is 5 degrees above normal, the air right above the water is also likely to be about 5 degrees warmer than normal).

The air warms faster than the pavement creating icier than expected road conditions.
