Dr. Curry, Surely it would seem, a priori, that since climate modeling treats a different regime of fluid dynamics modeling than these you mention — with different assumptions, scales, and approximations — it is quite possible that there are problems with certain types of climate models without invalidating «
all gas phase fluid dynamics modelling».

the gas phase by exceeding an energy barrier.
Thus going back to 1846 and John Tyndall, anyone with statistical thermodynamics» knowledge knows that thermalisation of IR from a higher temperature source can not occur in
the gas phase at local thermodynamic equilibrium.
with
gas phase and particulate matter emission factors.
To pursue this idea, it is first noted that N2, O2 and Ar all would remain in
the gas phase as terrestrial air CO2 is brought down to its depositional temperature.
Model - predicted
gas phase H2SO4 and MSA concentrations (ppb) in the SoCAB at 8:00 h, 12:00 h, 16:00 h, and 20:00 h. (A) H2SO4 concentrations (ppb) with SO2 and H2SO4 emissions representative of 2011 — 2013.
Model additions include results from (i) quantum chemical calculations that clarify the previously uncertain
gas phase mechanism of formation of MSA and (ii) a combination of published and experimental estimates of OSC emissions, such as those from marine, agricultural, and urban processes, which include pet waste and human breath.
This condensate is made up of light hydrocarbons we find as
a gas phase fluid in the reservoir.
Third, although many of the individual steps have been established experimentally (18), surprisingly, the mechanism of production of MSA from OSC
gas phase oxidation by hydroxyl radicals (OH, daytime) and nitrate radicals (nighttime) remains unclear (31).
The domain - wide average
gas phase MSA concentration is not significantly sensitive to the scenario chosen for sulfur fossil fuel emissions.
Hank, Thanks for the last link about water dimer in
gas phase.
Mark Campbell, PhD (Chemical Physics, Johns Hopkins University, 1987),
gas phase kinetics, United States Naval Academy, Annapolis, Maryland, U.S.A.
To compare the relative contributions of H2SO4 and MSA to new particle formation, nucleation and uptake into existing particles were turned off in the model to leave these species in
the gas phase.
1: Thermodynamics and charge balance place serious restraints on the ability of dissolved carbon dioxide to pass into
the gas phase as a result of local temperature changes.
Fig. 2C shows contours for
gas phase MSA formed in the DMS oxidation.
These theoretical studies firmly establish that the mechanism of
gas phase MSA formation is occurring via hydrogen abstraction from organics by the CH3S (O)(O) O • radical.
[Response: SO2 would be in
the gas phase, but it condenses to small particles, which actually cool the planet by scattering visible light to space.
«C» isn't a chemical species; this kind of reaction has to happen in liiquid (or
gas phase) and for that, «C» can be in a couple of forms.
This solid to
gas phase change is known as sublimation and removes nearly all the moisture from the product, while retaining most of the nutrients.
Traditional cigarettes produce 2 classes of radicals during the smoking event —
gas phase radicals and those associated with TPM.
The self - assembly occurred in
a gas phase, cluster beam condensation source, before size - selection with a mass spectrometer and deposition onto a carbon surface for oxidation and then imaging.
This has been the mainstay of
gas phase conversions of petrochemical feedstocks for decades - now it is beginning to demonstrate its worth in liquid phase synthetic chemistry.
«At low and high relative humidity, SOAs evaporate too slowly to reach equilibrium with
the gas phase.»
In this study, the water was in
the gas phase.
«Dr. Johnson is an emerging international expert on the structure and dynamics of metal clusters and organometallics bound to surfaces and in
the gas phase,» said Dr. Hess.
They are currently examining different ligated clusters to understand how the spatial arrangement of the atoms in the ligands alters the abundance of clusters formed in solution and their stability in
the gas phase.
The observation of methanol in
the gas phase, combined with information about its distribution, implies that methanol formed on the disc's icy grains, and was subsequently released in gaseous form.
Some stay in
the gas phase and others start a transfer into the aerosol phase.
In the absence of an external atmospheric pressure, the warming of water ice transforms it into directly into
gas phase rather than liquid.
What's Next: The researchers are now working to determine how electron affinity changes when solvent molecules are attached to the organofluorine compounds in
the gas phase.
«They are likely formed on icy grains in the disk and then released into
the gas phase because of heating from stellar radiation or some other means, such as shocks,» says co-author Zhi - Yun Li of the University of Virginia.
«We managed to present the first molecular evidence of a direct and ubiquitous source of ELVOCs arising from the oxidation of monoterpenes and other volatile organic compounds in
the gas phase.»
To prevent this, the ELVOCs are directly ionized under atmospheric conditions in
the gas phase, and subsequently transported as an electrically charged ELVOC - molecule into the sensor (mass spectrometer), where the detection takes place.
Weaver's models also demonstrate that once the temperature in the dust cloud reaches about — 280ºF, most of the molecules evaporate from the ice on dust grains and enter
a gas phase, allowing them to react a lot more quickly and to form complex molecules.
Secondary organic aerosols are formed primarily through chemistry that occurs in
the gas phase.
