Sentences with phrase «heat escaping to space»

Basic assumptions are that CO2 is a greenhouse gas that delays heat escaping to space; an increase in CO2 causes a temperature increase; and CO2 will increase because of human activities.

Temperature gradients are generally (see next paragraph) required to drive these flows of heat (continually through layers with convection / conduction / diffusion driven by differential heating, on the scale of distances from emission to absorption for radiant flows), so the temperature tends to decline from where solar heating occurs to where heat escapes to space.

The interesting part is that more clouds in summer as well as less clouds in winter both act as negative feedbacks: less warming in summer with more clouds reflecting the sunlight and more cooling in winter from less clouds allowing more heat to escape to space.

If the energy delivered to Earth by the Sun or by impacts (or both) were 40 % greater, the Earth would experience a runaway greenhouse.3 That is, more water would evaporate from Earth's surface, so too much heat trying to escape into outer space would be blocked by water vapor in the atmosphere.

Changing the energy imbalance of the planetary system by inhibiting the escape of radiant heat to space WILL result in warming, no matter whether or not you can observe it accurately.

due to co2 we are already living in a greenhouse.Whatever one does in that greenhouse will remain in the greenhouse.INDUSTRIOUS HEAT will remain in the greenhouse instead of escaping into outer space; this is a far greater contributor to global warming than other factors and far more difficult to reduce without reducing economic activity.Like warm moist air from your mouth on cold mornings so melting antarctic ice will turn into cloud as it meets warm moist air from tropics the seas will not rise as antarctica is a huge cloud generator.A thick band of cloud around the earth will produce even temps accross the whole earth causing the wind to moderate even stop.WE should be preparing for this possible scenario»

If one could see the IR light, an opaque atmosphere would make the pattern of emitted IR diffuse since only the IR from the upper levels of the atmosphere escape to space after it has been absorbed and re-emitted by the greenhouse gases (this of course depends on the wavelength of the IR and the absorption spectrum, but we can use this assumption for heat loss integrated over the whole IR spectrum).

In essence, stratospheric CO2 acts as an escape valve to space for ozone - induced heating.

An El Nino warms the surface of the planet, so more heat will escape to space.

(PS regarding Venus — as I have understood it, a runaway water vapor feedback would have occured when solar heating increasing to become greater than a limiting OLR value (Simpson - Kombayashi - Ingersoll limit — see http://chriscolose.wordpress.com/2010/08/23/climate-feedbacks-part-1/ — although I should add that at more «moderate» temperatures (warmer than today), stratospheric H2O increases to a point where H escape to space becomes a significant H2O sink — if that stage worked fast enough relative to solar brightening, a runaway H2O case could be prevented, and it would be a dry (er) heat.

At the top of the atmosphere, the infra - red light escapes freely out to space, and this is where the planet's main heat loss takes place.

With zero LW absorbing optical thickness within the atmosphere, the heat must get to surface (if not already there) before escaping to space.

The only way heat can escape to space is via radiation because space is a void and therefore heat can not be transmitted by convection or conduction.

As detailed in section V of this notice, it is widely recognized that greenhouse gases (GHGs) have a climatic warming effect by trapping heat in the atmosphere that would otherwise escape to space.

In other words, greenhouse gases don't retain heat themselves, but rather redirect outgoing energy radiated by the surface and lower in the atmosphere, thereby delaying it's ultimate escape to space.

Hence, whereas the planet is heated at the surface, it's main heat loss takes place from a height about 5.5 km above the ground, where most of the radiation is free to escape out to space.

The oceans are warming, and these hurricanes represent one mechanism that moves the heat from the surface to high levels in the atmosphere where it can escape to space.

Now, I think it was in 1956 that atmospheric physicist and sometimes - weapons designer Gilbert Plass (who needed to know about IR to fire heat - seeking missiles up the tailpipes of jet fighter at high altitude) noted that CO2 in the upper troposphere could block the escape of IR to space: The Carbon Dioxide Theory of Climate Change, Gilbert Plass (1955)(abstract) In the full paper, available at the above link, Plass spells out the previous notion which his research overturned:

In your notation to Figure 4 you say «At the top of the atmosphere, the infra - red light escapes freely out to space, and this is where the planet's main heat loss takes place.»

Carbon dioxide acts something like the glass panes in a greenhouse, allowing sunlight in to heat the Earth, but preventing some of that heat from escaping into space.

Momentum is for warmer GT's, heat radiation can only escape to space at a regular rate, does not accelerate outwards because the atmosphere is warmer, in fact the opposite if the troposphere is higher.

When it reaches a level high enough to cool it to it's «dew point» the water vapour condenses out in the form of clouds and rainfall and the Latent Heat of Condensation is released into the upper part of the atmosphere to accelerate the escape of radiant energy to space.

As Fourier put it, energy in the form of visible light from the Sun easily penetrates the atmosphere to reach the surface and heat it up, but heat can not so easily escape back into space.»

When there is more energy coming in than escaping back to space, our climate accumulates heat..

CO2 traps heat According to radiative physics and decades of laboratory measurements, increased CO2 in the atmosphere is expected / predicted to absorb more infrared radiation as it escapes back out to space.

100 to 1000 years: the length of time after their emission to the atmosphere that many greenhouse gases trap heat that would otherwise escape into space.

The premise of Lindzen's hypothesis was that as the climate warms, the area in the atmosphere covered by high cirrus clouds will contract to allow more heat to escape into outer space, similar to the iris in a human eye contracting to allow less light to pass through the pupil in a brightly lit environment.

If the heat did not escape to space and it could not be traced in the air, it must have radiated away in the opposite direction: down.

An internal variation can expose climate energy to gain or loss at the top of the atmosphere, so that total energy changes (for example, an El Nino warming event can increase the availability of heat capable of escaping to space).

Less heat therefore escapes to space, forcing the temperature of the whole troposphere to rise until once again the radiation to space equals the net insolation.

At this point, very simple physics takes over, and you are pretty much doomed, by what scientists refer to as the «radiative» properties of carbon dioxide molecules (which trap infrared heat radiation that would otherwise escape to space), to have a warming planet.

An atmosphere that is perfectly transparent to incoming and outgoing radiation can not radiate and all its heat content comes from conduction from the surface and is transported through the atmosphere solely by convection with no loss of energy to space except for the tiny fraction of atoms at the top of the atmosphere that exceed escape velocity.

Greenhouse theory predicts that more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will trap heat energy as it escapes out to space.

It just further increases the length of time that the heat energy remains in the air before it escapes to space.

This means that they let the heat from the Sun into the atmosphere, but do not allow the heat to escape back into space.

The theory tells us that as atmospheric CO2 content increases less heat will escape to space.
