Sentences with phrase «global circulation power»

Accordingly, in our estimate of the global circulation power we use global mean precipitation P which characterizes both regions where the air is ascending and precipitation is high and regions where the air descends and precipitation is low.

We have shown that integrating this equation globally, using the observed mean global precipitation, produces the observed value of the global circulation power.

This global phenomenon of image circulation possesses an extraordinary transformative potential, and, this weekend, galleries worldwide exemplify the power of photography to spark social, environmental and cultural change.

It is not surprising that there are many skeptics who like I am, are very knowledgeable in many of the over lapping fields, of gas chromatography, anthropology, radio graphics of X-ray and particle physics, biological plant and animal processes, agriculture, high power radio transmission and reception, and its attendant multiplexing of signals, mining, reforestation plans and progress realities, nuclear, gas, and coal power plant construction techniques, organic gardening, astronomy, stellar physics, global circulation pattern drivers, and have also spent considerable time out doors in a tent and sleeping bag.

The dynamic power of global atmospheric circulation (i.e. the rate at which kinetic energy is generated and, in the steady state, dissipated) is about 4 W / m2.

We note that this is the first and only theoretical estimate of the power of global circulation currently available.

Our estimates suggest that the global mean power at which this potential energy is released by condensation is around one per cent of the global solar power — this is similar to the known stationary dissipative power of general atmospheric circulation.

We characterise the pressure forming process in analytical form and then show that it has sufficient power to drive global atmospheric circulation.

Our paper (discussed in this post) shows that we can estimate the power of global atmospheric circulation.

First, we note that the mean global power of atmospheric circulation estimated from (5) is about 4 W m − 2, which is in close agreement with the best observational estimates.

Employing a political ecology framework, I endeavor to articulate the multiple levels at which this issue unfolds, describing the correlation between the circulation of climate change discourse and the resurgence of hydroelectric power at the global level; how this situation has been engaged at the national level within contemporary Costa Rica; and how all of this plays out in contestation concerning dam construction within specific sites in the country, particularly the controversial Río Pacuare in the eastern highlands, where the merits of a major dam proposal have been questioned for more than two decades.

The changes in the rate of outgoing energy flow caused by changes in solar surface turbulence may be small but they appear to be enough to affect the air circulation systems and thereby influence the overall global energy budget disproportionately to the tiny variations in solar power intensity.
