Sentences with phrase «increasing temperature difference»

During the first period the stratospheric polar vortex, a system of strong westerly winds at altitudes 10 - 50 km, is projected to weaken, and this weakening slows down westerly winds all the way down to the surface, cancelling out the effect of the increasing temperature difference between the Tropics and the Pole», explains researcher Alexey Karpechko from FMI.

This effect also increases with increasing temperature difference and with increasing surface wind speed.

The team's research shows that in addition to contributions from natural forcings and global warming, temperature differences between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans play a role in causing drought and increasing wildfire risks.

This decrease results because plant respiration also increases with temperature, and some of the photosynthetic gains (that lead to increased productivity) are lost through a) growth and maintenance respiration (Ryan et al. 1995), or b) seasonal differences between photosynthetic gains in the spring and increased respiration in the fall.

So the mechanism should cause a decline in skin temperature gradients with increased cloud cover (more downward heat radiation), and there should also be a decline in the difference between cool skin layer and ocean bulk temperatures - as less heat escapes the ocean under increased atmospheric warming.

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 atIncreased 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 atincreased 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.

If not, and the upper troposphere warms less rapidly than the surface, the temperature difference relevant for hurricane strength will increase that much faster.

So, it would help me if you could explain the temperature difference that drives hurricane systems and how GW is expected to increase that temperature difference.

As the optical depth of the slab is increased, the temperature difference between the top and bottom of the slab also increases.

The significant difference between the observed decrease of the CO2 sink estimated by the inversion (0.03 PgC / y per decade) and the expected increase due solely to rising atmospheric CO2 -LRB--0.05 PgC / y per decade) indicates that there has been a relative weakening of the Southern Ocean CO2 sink (0.08 PgC / y per decade) due to changes in other atmospheric forcing (winds, surface air temperature, and water fluxes).

This is the difference between countries» pledged commitments to reduce emissions of heat - trapping greenhouse gases after 2020 and scientifically calculated trajectories giving good odds of keeping global warming below the threshold for danger countries pledged to try to avoid in climate talks in 2010 (to «hold the increase in global average temperature below 2 °C above pre-industrial levels»).

The imbalance is not between IR absorbed and IR emitted by a layer of atmosphere, but between the incoming shortwave solar energy from space and the outgoing longwave energy emitted to space, due to the increasing difference between the ground temperature and the temperature of the level from which re-emitted radiation can escape to space.

Failures in the Earth system are already beginning to occur in a number of ways at a GMT increase of only 0.8 oC; GMT does not address huge regional differences in temperature increase; a temperature target doesn't even address ocean acidification; and we are frittering our time here (and in numerous scientific papers) addressing 2oC as if it is a reasonable target???

Given this, it is quite clear that any reduction in the efficiency of upward radiation (by, say, reflecting it right back down again), will have to be compensated for by increasing the air / sea (skin) temperature difference, hence having a warmer subsurface temperature.

An increase in the quantity of carbonic acid will of course diminish the difference in temperature between day and night.

Based on the decrease in SO2 emissions in Europa, there should be a huge difference in temperature increase between less polluted areas and more polluted areas, downwind from the main sources.

If a doubling of CO2 resulted in a temperature increase of approximately 1 K before any non-Planck feedbacks (before water vapor, etc.), then assuming the same climate sensitivity to the total GHE, removing the whole GHE would result in about a (setting the TOA / tropopause distinction aside, as it is relatively small relative to the 155 W / m2 value) 155/3.7 * 1 K ~ = 42 K. Which is a bit more than 32 or 33 K, though I'm not surprised by the difference.

IMHO, the increase in speed of the Hadley / Walker cells may be the result of higher ocean temperatures (or temperature differences over long distances), not the origin (or to a lesser extent, as less clouds lead to some extra insolation, thus warming).

And at last they have found a new one: they suggest that the difference in the temperature increase over land and the oceans during the last decades might be due to contaminations of the land temperature record — They call it an anomalous behaviour — ignoring that it corresponds fully to what is physically expected.

Raw climate model results for a business - as - usual scenario indicate that we can expect global temperatures to increase anywhere in the range of 5.8 and 10.6 degrees Fahrenheit (3.2 to 5.9 degrees Celsius) over preindustrial levels by the end of the century — a difference of about a factor of two between the most - and least - severe projections.

It seems that the greenhouse affect isn't going increase this ground temperature by 1 degree and would need to increase by say 10 degrees, to make much difference the highest air temperature.

Without getting into the discussions of how much difference we are making to any increase in temperature, presumably you - or your faculty - must have made some calculations as to what effect an aggressive carbon mitigation policy will have in actually REDUCING temperatures?

One could also have a greater difference between tropical and polar region temperatures - another factor which would increase hurricanes.

«In the southern hemisphere, the increase in wind power depends on the land - sea thermal gradient, and apparently the stronger emissions scenario (RCP8.5) is needed to make the difference in temperature and thus pressure between land and sea strong enough to amplify the winds.»

There will be deep philosophical and ethical differences on whether we have the right to coerce billions of people for an unclear likelihood of preventing a 2 - 4 C increase in global mean surface temperatures by 2100.

Similarly, if there is an increase in the difference between land and ocean temperatures, the rising air over land draws in moist air from the ocean and lifts it, leading to monsoons.

The models also project increases in the magnitude of seasonal temperature differences in most areas.

The main dynamical driver of the monsoon is therefore the positive moisture - advection feedback (Fig. 1 A): The release of latent heat from precipitation over land adds to the temperature difference between land and ocean, thus driving stronger winds from ocean to land and increasing in this way landward advection of moisture, which leads to enhanced precipitation and associated release of latent heat.

I suspect it's not 1C over all the globe but just over relatively dry parts of the globe (higher latitudes over continents) where conduction (and hence surface temperature) has to increase make up for the higher impedence through the radiative path because there's no latent path (and hence no rise in temperature) to make up the difference.
