People started off with basic radiation physics, added in the dynamic equations and then clouds, and then better land surface schemes and oceans and sea ice etc..

The new name also more accurately reflected the broad - based academic training in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology as well as specialized curricular elements related to understanding the oceans as a unified dynamic system and the study of its living components and resources.

Josh was called an idiot leftist scientist by Rush Limbaugh (a moniker enthusiastically adopted by Josh and, err, Josh's wife), had to leave his PhD program in Physics, and is now leading the massive Oceans Melting Greenland program.

The award is open to scholars in eight scientific and technical fields — chemistry, computer science, economics, mathematics, computational and evolutionary molecular biology, neuroscience, ocean sciences, and physics.

Rahmstorf, Stefan Stefan Rahmstorf is Professor of Physics of the Oceans and department head at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany, a Lead Author of the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report and a member of the German government's Advisory Council on Global Change.

The computer models in use are not, by necessity, direct calculations of all basic physics but rely upon empirical approximations for many of the smaller scale processes of the oceans and atmosphere.

Professor Stefan Rahmstorf, Professor of Physics of the Oceans and a Department Head at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany.

You've got the radiative physics, the measurements of ocean temperature and land temperature, the changes in ocean heat content (Hint — upwards, whereas if if was just a matter of circulation moving heat around you might expect something more simple) and of course observed predictions such as stratospheric cooling which you don't get when warming occurs from oceanic circulation.

In addition, both internal variability and aerosol forcing are likely to affect tropical storms in large part though changes in ocean temperature gradients (thereby changing ITCZ position and vertical shear), while greenhouse gases likely exert their influence by more uniformly changing ocean and tropospheric temperatures, so the physics of the problem may suggest this decomposition as more natural as welIn addition, both internal variability and aerosol forcing are likely to affect tropical storms in large part though changes in ocean temperature gradients (thereby changing ITCZ position and vertical shear), while greenhouse gases likely exert their influence by more uniformly changing ocean and tropospheric temperatures, so the physics of the problem may suggest this decomposition as more natural as welin large part though changes in ocean temperature gradients (thereby changing ITCZ position and vertical shear), while greenhouse gases likely exert their influence by more uniformly changing ocean and tropospheric temperatures, so the physics of the problem may suggest this decomposition as more natural as welin ocean temperature gradients (thereby changing ITCZ position and vertical shear), while greenhouse gases likely exert their influence by more uniformly changing ocean and tropospheric temperatures, so the physics of the problem may suggest this decomposition as more natural as well.

Rare's unique cartoon aesthetic is perfectly blended with some impressive ocean physics and picturesque lighting details to create a truly stunning pirate world that you'll want to get lost in.

The film works — and just barely — only because the narrative flies at warp speed; there's no time to think about gaping holes in the plot and gross violations of the fundamental laws of physics, not to mention credibility, when you finish hurtling in the course of two hours across the Atlantic Ocean and back only to find yourself hurtling through the Chunnel with no chance to catch your breath.

But luckily for the members of the Polar Ocean Physics Group at the University of Cambridge, gathering the data means lots of exciting field work in the Arctic!

In physics, momentum is defined as mass (such as ocean water) in motioIn physics, momentum is defined as mass (such as ocean water) in motioin motion.

and the water and ocean is something i have yet to see even in nexgen games... not to mention vegetation physics and face rendering... so please stop discussing over stuff u have no idea of untill u see it with ur own eyes... and just for ur info i have a core2duo and a 9600gt..

For example, how much confidence can we really have in results from ice sheet models, which very likely miss important mechanisms (e.g., due to limited understanding of ocean - ice shelf interactions, calving physics and influence of small - scale topography)?

Our study once again emphasizes the importance of a realistic representation of ocean physics, in particular vertical mixing, as a necessary foundation for ecosystem modeling and predictions.»

It may sound a bit nitpicking, but water sloshing in a bathtub is a gravity wave, water height in the ocean varying on decadal or longer scales must be totally different physics.

There's also a number of interesting applications in the evolution of Earth's atmosphere that branch off from the runaway greenhouse physics, for example how fast a magma - ocean covered early Earth ends up cooling — you can't lose heat to space of more than about 310 W / m2 or so for an Earth - sized planet with an efficient water vapor feedback, so it takes much longer for an atmosphere - cloaked Earth to cool off from impact events than a body just radiating at sigmaT ^ 4.

People started off with basic radiation physics, added in the dynamic equations and then clouds, and then better land surface schemes and oceans and sea ice etc..

Heat that ends up in the ocean essentially contributes to the imbalance because thermal physics says it can not radiate from depth.

Setting aside the effects of the deep ocean, etc, — ie just using a single unified reservoir's heat capacity — and using only fast feedbacks (I didn't introduce any slow feedbacks anywhere in this particular series of comments), the expectation based on physics is that each delayed response T curve (each of which must correspond to a different value of heat capacity, for the same ECS) must have a maximum or minimum when it intersects the instantaneous response curve (my Teq value)-- maximum if it was below Teq before, minimum if it was above — because it is always going toward Teq.

The ocean uptake physics are governed by ocean circulation, which we know a lot about by measuring the carbon - 14 distribution in the ocean.

There is a potential for both positive and negative feedbacks between the ocean and atmosphere, including changes in both the physics (e.g., circulation, stratification) and biology (e.g., export production, calcification) of the ocean.

(More specifically, you've read it as supporting a * lag * in response, without considering that perhaps (given the physics of a high mass / high specific heat system like the oceans) what is really implied is, rather, a slow * rate * of response — but one which nevertheless «starts» immediately.)

A new modeling study by the Applied Physics Laboratory at the University of Washington, replaying last summer's Arctic Ocean ice conditions with and without the storm, shows that the short - term influence of all that ice churning probably played almost no role in the final ice retreat in September.

But they raise a long series of problems including the fact that major ice melt events do not seem to have occurred at the «right» times, that fresh water comes in at the edges mainly, not in the middle of the ocean, and that the models do not properly represent the physics of the upper ocean.

The weakening of the Walker circulation arises in these models from processes that are fundamentally different from those of El Nià ± o — and is present in both mixed - layer and full - ocean coupled models, so is not dependent on the models» ability to represent Kelvin waves (by the way, most of the IPCC - AR4 models have sufficient oceanic resolution to represent Kelvin waves and the physics behind them is quite simple — so of all the model deficiencies to focus on this one seems a little odd).

Physical chemistry is a combination of chemistry and physics, it is fine that you derived the equation, but it relates to thermodynamics just the same; chemists make those lasers work, those DVD's play, and I have taken calculus physics, modern physics, (multi variable calculus physics) which means technically I too have a degree in physics, but my focus has been chemistry, biology, and I took a few graduate courses dealing with meteorology, ocean dynamics, geology, atmospheric science and my undergraduate courses were filled with earth science related material and after all the math needed for Pchem engineering mathematics is not difficult nor is graduate physics:) so the derivation you just made is discussed in math classes before, even calculus one, so I am not sure what you are trying to prove.

If I extend the physics regarding an earlier post by the kind folks here regrading the skin effect of the temperature inversion layer on the calm sea as preventing the transfere of the heat content of the top of the ocean back into space; If I add in the NOAA 0 Deg.

In June this year, Professor Wadhams, head of the Polar Ocean Physics Group at Cambridge, predicted that Arctic ice «may well disappear» this September.

Less well understood by the scientific communities interested in hurricanes — from their basic physics to improved forecasts — and the processes controlling key physical and biological variables in the upper ocean, are the details of coupled interactions between tropical cyclones and the ocean.

Physics says the energy into a system must equal the energy out once in balance, The heat in the oceans is what must be there to produce enough heat radiation out to space through the air / GHG blanket.

Greater warming over land and in the Arctic regions, and less warming in the sub-polar oceans, are what we expect from our understanding of climate physics, and this is what we observe.»
