Sentences with phrase «humidity near the surface»

Regionally, changes in relative humidity near the surface would affect the height at which clouds form...

ERA - Interim humidity near the surface compares very well with independent observations - see Simmons et al JGR 2010 (doi: 10.1029 / 2009JD012442).

tasmax — Maximum daily temperature near surface tasmin — Minimum daily temperature near surface rhsmax — Maximum daily relative humidity near surface rhsmin — Minimum daily relative humdity near surface huss — Average daily specific humidity near surface pr — Average daily precipitation amount at surface rsds - Average daily downward shortwave radiation at surface was — Average daily wind speed near surface uas — Average daily eastward component of wind near surface vas — Average daily northward component of wind near surface

The new method includes changes in temperature and humidity near the surface will lead to improved climate forecasts.

We expect the relative humidity near the surface should stay constant with global warming because 70 % of the surface is covered with water.

Not exact matches

Without an atmosphere, inputs that represent the atmospheric forcing (near surface winds, temperature, humidity, and downwelling short and longwave radiation) need to be provided.

I presume this is because the greater evaporation near the surface must mix into the rest of the atmosphere to affect overall humidity.

The variability is due to day - to - day variations in temperature, strength of the surface - based temperature inversion, atmospheric humidity, and the presence of «diamond dust» (near - surface ice crystals).

Also Wentz neglects the fact that small changes in relative humidity or difference between surface and near air temperatures can result in large changes in evaporation rates based on their equation (1) which determines evaporation rate.

Hoskins: If the tropical near surface specific humidity over tropical land has not gone up (Fig 5) presumably that could explain why the expected amplification of the warming in the tropics with height has not really been detected.

Groisman, P. Ya, R.S. Bradley and B. Sun, 2000 The relationship of cloud cover to near - surface temperature and humidity: comparison of GCM simulations with empirical data.

Air in clouds and immediately next to the ocean surface is at or near 100 % relative humidity, so as temperatures increase the absolute humidity there also increases.

This is buried in the noise of wind induced fluctuations in evaporation and changes in LWIR flux caused by variations in aerosols, clouds and near surface humidity.

According to the study, unrealistic values occur in the relative humidity of the near - surface layer of the atmosphere in many climate change models.

During a dry winter, the reduction of aerosol concentrations in weekend days may overwhelmingly impact on the DTR through a direct effect, i.e. by increasing total solar irradiance near the surface and raising the daytime temperature and maximum temperature, and lowering relative humidity.

Irrigation also leads to boreal winter (December - February) warming over parts of North America and Asia in the latter part of the century, due to enhanced downward longwave fluxes from increased near surface humidity.

Arguments of the type summarized in Emanuel, Neelin, and Bretherton, 1994 suggest that attempts to alter the free tropospheric temperature profile will modify temperatures by a rather indirect path — heating perturbations will modify the circulation in a way that then modifies the temperature and humidity of the air near the surface, which finally puts you on a different moist adiabat.
