Sentences with phrase «heating capacity»

What I do not understand is that the specific heat capacity of CO2 is less than that of normal air.

Gradually, the anomaly spreads from the mixed - layer to the deeper layers of the ocean, thereby increasing the effective heat capacity of the oceans.

This is thermal inertia and heat capacity at work.

The calculation of temperature from heat capacity and accumulated energy is correct.

The atmosphere stores only about 2 % because of its small heat capacity.

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.

But what about heat capacity over the full ocean depth?

The key point to understand is that earth has a finite heat capacity.

That difference may not seem like much, but water has tremendous heat capacity.

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.

The stunning «heating by cooling» effect corresponds, in physical terms, to a negative 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.

The warming lags the forcing, as the ocean heat capacity slows the response down.
