Sentences with phrase «gravity field resulting»

Because of changes in Earth's gravity field resulting from ice sheet mass loss, ocean sea level will actually drop near the areas of melt and rise elsewhere.

Not exact matches

The scientists relied on data from the pair of GRACE satellites — NASA's Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment orbiters launched in 2002 — that measure subtle changes in Earth's gravitational field, which are often the result of shifting water, whether on the surface or deep beneath it.

The comet's bulbous shape and resulting strange gravity field rule out some areas, but a number of feasible landing spots have presented themselves (see «Green marks the spot ``, below).

The atoms of the wire will lose velocity as they rise in the gravitational field just as those in the gas, thus there is less energy available transferred in interactions this will produce an gradient in the kinetic energy of atoms that make up the wire resulting in a temerature gradient due to gravity.

Heating and cooling a gas column in a gravity field at separate locations at the base results in a higher average temperature than heating at the base and cooling at the top.

That results from the volume of the atmosphere being unconstrained other than by gravity so the more energy the sun puts in for a given strength of gravitational field the more the atmosphere will expand upward and the hotter the surface becomes.
