Sentences with phrase «heating rate gradients»

Not exact matches

This furnace utilizes induction heating, which provides a steeper temperature gradient, allowing faster crystal growth rates to further minimize evaporation and reaction with the crucible.

The combined electron and ion heating altered the gradient, or spatial rate of change in the plasma density.

When greenhouse gases increase, more longwave radiation is directed back at the ocean surface, which warms the cool - skin layer, lowers the thermal gradient, and consequently reduces the rate of heat loss.

The thermal gradient through this layer dictates the rate of heat loss from the (typically) warmer ocean surface, to the cooler atmosphere above.

Increased warming of the cool skin layer (via increased greenhouse gases) lowers its temperature gradient (that is the temperature difference between the top and bottom of the layer), and this reduces the rate at which heat flows out of the ocean to the atmosphere.

The rate of flow of heat out of the ocean is determined by the temperature gradient in the «cool skin layer», which resides within the thin viscous surface layer of ocean that is in contact with the atmosphere.

The rate of flow of heat out of the ocean is determined by the temperature gradient in the «cool skin layer»

A smaller gradient would slow down the rate at which the oceanic heat sink absorbed the forcing, but that effect would be pretty linear, nothing like the cyclic or step - function data that Trenbeth and others are trying to explain.

If you reduce the rate of heat flux from the the planet to space by increasing the density of greenhouse gases and thus altering the thermal gradient, less heat will flow from the heat sink (ocean) to space.

The specific heat of water vapour is higher than that of carbon dioxide, so it will reduce the gradient slightly, and thus have a cooling effect, just as it does by reducing the gradient to the «wet adiabatic lapse rate» on Earth.

But take away that heat engine and the implication is that there must be no lapse rate or thermal gradient in a column of gas.

The thermal gradient (badly named a lapse rate) allows heat transfer downwards by diffusion into warmer regions when the thermodynamic equilibrium is disrupted with new energy absorbed higher up.

R GATES: The Longer - term rate of ocean heat storage is modulated by the total amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere which ultimately alter the net overall thermal gradient between ocean heat and space.

The Longer - term rate of ocean heat storage is modulated by the total amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere which ultimately alter the net overall thermal gradient between ocean heat and space.

That probably works as an alternate view of the pressure gradient, but for lapse rate it problematically implies that gravity drives heat flow.

And yes, the thermal gradient across the surface skin layer is what determines the rate of heat loss from ocean to atmosphere by conduction.

This reduces the heat gradient and thus the rate of loss of heat from the ocean is also reduced.

Moreover, significant trends in sensible heat and evaporation rates are evident in satellite - derived datasets, especially in the Barents - Kara Sea region in the fall due to increases in the air - sea temperature and humidity gradients, collocated with reductions in sea ice.

If weather events like hurricanes are a function of heat gradients, not of heat content, then it follows that raising Tmin more than Tmax, via atmospheric CO2, will cause their formation rates and their magnitude to fall
