Sentences with phrase «hydroxyl concentrations»

Also, other factors effect hydroxyl concentrations: NOx emissions, for example.

If this is correct, then we could be seeing be a very limited negative feedback from global warming just now which increases hydroxyl concentrations which in turn breaks down the methane faster.

Tracking decadal trends in both methane and hydroxyl, Frankenberg and his colleagues noted that fluctuations in hydroxyl concentrations correlated strongly with fluctuations in methane.

Not exact matches

Lower concentration of hydrogen ions and negatively charged hydroxyl ions helps increase energy, mental clarity, and overall alertness.

Hydroxyl radicals are important because of their role in breaking down many pollutants, although in large concentrations, they also contribute to the formation of smog.

«Detergent» molecules may be driving fluctuations in atmospheric methane concentrations: New study suggests hydroxyl radicals may be behind unexplained recent increase in methane levels.»

If global levels of hydroxyl decrease, global methane concentrations will increase — even if methane emissions remain constant, the researchers say.

Redder regions in this simulation of a typical March hydroxyl distribution contain higher concentrations of the molecule.

That's the conclusion of two independent studies that indirectly tracked concentrations of hydroxyl, a highly reactive chemical that rips methane molecules apart.

This differs from gases like methane which do have a «real» lifetime due to reactions with hydroxyl radicals, where for any given steady state anthropogenic methane emissions are, a stabilized concentration value will eventually be reached.

Additional output from the ACCMIP runs will include concentration / mass of radiatively active species, aerosol optical properties, and radiative forcings (clear and all sky) as well as important parameters that do not directly influence climate such as hydroxyl, chemical reaction rates, deposition rates, emission rates, surface pollutants and diagnostics of tracer transport.

Model simulation of the hydroxyl radical concentration in the atmosphere.

First, the main chemical that reacts with methane in the atmosphere is the hydroxyl radical (OH), thus more methane means that the concentration of OH goes down.
