Sentences with phrase «global heat balance»

Once the new weather patterns have been in place for a while then the climate has changed until another shift in the global heat balance occurs.

-- the overall change to the global heat balance climate from basic physics bounded by paleo observations (over time increasingly constrained by modern observations)-- the probable overall patterns of regional change at a large scale — the range of impacts.

Second, we will always know less about what drives paleo climate because we know less about the key factors that drive global heat balance in the distant past than we know about the present, for which we have precise measurements.

The only thing that has been changing in a way that should increase global heat balance over the last 40 years are greenhouse gases.

As I recall, I read that the amount of heat from cars was not important in the global heat balance; rather, the CO2 emitted was, by far, the more significant issue.

However, global mean precipitation is controlled not by the availability of water vapour, but by a balance between the latent heat of condensation and radiative cooling in the troposphere.

«The global mean latent heat flux is required to exceed 80 W m — 2 to close the surface energy balance in Figure 2.11, and comes close to the 85 W m — 2 considered as upper limit by Trenberth and Fasullo (2012b) in view of current uncertainties in precipitation retrieval in the Global Precipitation Climatology Project (GPCP, Adler et al., 2012)(the latent heat flux corresponds to the energy equivalent of evaporation, which globally equals precipitation; thus its magnitude may be constrained by global precipitation estimglobal mean latent heat flux is required to exceed 80 W m — 2 to close the surface energy balance in Figure 2.11, and comes close to the 85 W m — 2 considered as upper limit by Trenberth and Fasullo (2012b) in view of current uncertainties in precipitation retrieval in the Global Precipitation Climatology Project (GPCP, Adler et al., 2012)(the latent heat flux corresponds to the energy equivalent of evaporation, which globally equals precipitation; thus its magnitude may be constrained by global precipitation estimGlobal Precipitation Climatology Project (GPCP, Adler et al., 2012)(the latent heat flux corresponds to the energy equivalent of evaporation, which globally equals precipitation; thus its magnitude may be constrained by global precipitation estimglobal precipitation estimates).

Back - of - the - envelope calculations show that the latent heat absorbed by melting of ice after surges (e.g., the melting of > 1500 years of ice accumulation during Dansgaard - Oeschger events — which seem to have happened in unison across the northern hemisphere, or the longer > 5ky Bond cycles) can significantly contribute to the global energy balance.

With climate and Greenhouse Gas thoeries of Global warming, it appears to me that of most interest is the interface between the Earth's atmosphere and space and the flow of radiated heat from the sun, what's reflected back from Earth's surface and the consequences of any change in that balance.

Because latent heat release in the course of precipitation must be balanced in the global mean by infrared radiative cooling of the troposphere (over time scales at which the atmosphere is approximately in equilibrium), it is sometimes argued that radiative constraints limit the rate at which precipitation can increase in response to increasing CO2.

The Stephens et al paper is a very incremental change from previous estimates of the global energy balances — chiefly an improvement in latent heat fluxes because of undercounts in the satellite precipitation products and an increase in downward longwave radiation.

Anthropogenic GHG warming is about the Earth's energy balance, and thus, looking at an average global near - surface temperature, or the total ocean heat content can tell us something useful about that energy balance.

«The same pollution that we believe is heating the world's oceans through global warming is also altering their chemical balance,» Professor John Raven, chair of the working group, said.

Extra heat from all sources — including the interior of the planet, fossil fuel burning, nuclear fission, solar radiance, north - south asymetry and — the big one — cloud radiative forcing — is retained in planetary systems as longwave emissions and shortwave reflectance adjusts to balance the global energy budget.

If Earth's mean energy imbalance today is +0.5 W / m2, CO2 must be reduced from the current level of 395 ppm (global - mean annual - mean in mid-2013) to about 360 ppm to increase Earth's heat radiation to space by 0.5 W / m2 and restore energy balance.

Science indeed says that human carbon injection is increasing the heat balance of the atmosphere (anthropogenic global warming or AGW), but science does not say we need to create a global bureaucracy.

As soon as a global climate model readjusts a vertical column to unphysically alter the large scale solution in order to maintain hydrostatic balance (overturning due to unrealistic heating parameterizations necessitate this adjustment), there is no mathematical theory that can justify the nature of the ensuing numerical solution.

«Heat balance of the earth and global temperature change,» EIKE, February 3, 2015.

Simple Hansen - style thermodynamic heat - balance models that predict accelerating global energy imbalance.

However, as Mr. Outing points out, presenting a «balanced» view of global heating doesn't make sense — there isn't anything resembling a serious debate about whether human beings are causing global heating because the current scientific consensus is that human burning of fossil fuels is causing global heating.

The improved accuracy associated with more reliable measures of radiative forcing and temperature is consistent with the hypothesis that anthropogenic activities, which alter the Earth's heat balance, affect global surface temperature.
