The phrase
"heat capacity" refers to the measure of how much heat energy is needed to change the temperature of a substance.
Full definition
Gradually, the anomaly spreads from the mixed - layer to the deeper layers of the ocean, thereby increasing the
effective heat capacity of the oceans.
Such a temperature change would require several millions years because of the
enormous heat capacity of the core, he says.
It makes sense that the cold / dry air has
less heat capacity, and so is most prone to warming.
Of course it's that
huge heat capacity that lets the oceans hold the heat, but the biggest temperature changes are over land.
The diameter of the rear discs was increased by 20 mm, as well as the thickness, in order to
increase heat capacity and improve performance.
I'm sure that you're aware that the oceans have over 1,000 times
more heat capacity as the atmosphere and they store heat for decades.
Because land surfaces generally have low
heat capacity relative to oceans, temperature anomalies can vary greatly between months.
Climate response (and thus climate sensitivity) isn't just about radiative balance,
heat capacity etc..
; you answered: If by heat you mean thermal energy, yes, of course, as long as the object has a
positive heat capacity.
Net ocean heat content changes are very closely tied to the net radiative imbalance of the planet since the ocean component of the climate system has by far the
biggest heat capacity.
The amount of heat exchanged by an object when its temperature varies by one degree is
called heat capacity.
However, in reality CO2 increases by about 2 ppm per year and the observations show that the atmosphere with its rather low
heat capacity responds to that quite rapidly.
