Sentences with phrase «inertia than land»

As I have said, ocean has greater thermal inertia than land.

Not exact matches

Chris Colose @ 39 — Thanks as always, but I am baffled by your The larger thermal inertia of the ocean is important, but the higher sensitivity over land than in the ocean is also seen in equilibrium simulations when the ocean has had time to «catch up,» so that argument doesn't hold as equilibrium is approached.

«Somewhat counter-intuitively, a land — sea surface warming ratio greater than unity during transient climate change is actually not mainly a result of the differing thermal inertias of land and ocean, but primarily originates in the differing properties of the surface and boundary layer (henceforth BL) over land and ocean (Manabe et al. 1991; Sutton et al. 2007; Joshi et al. 2008 (henceforth JGW08), Dong et al. 2009) as well as differing cloud feedbacks (Fasullo 2010; Andrews et al. 2010).»

In both hemispheres, land regions have warmed at a faster rate than the oceans in the past few decades, consistent with the much greater thermal inertia of the oceans.

The northern hemisphere has warmed faster than the southern because there's more land in the north than the south, and land has far less thermal inertia than ocean.

Land has a lower thermal inertia than ocean.

The greater thermal inertia of the Ocean means that temperature anomalies and extremes are lower than those seen on land.

Forced changes mediate greater land than ocean temperature fluctuations due to the thermal inertia of the oceans, the moderating effect of evaporation, and probably other factors.

For centuries, it has been known that land warms or cools faster than the oceans — the reason is that the latter exhibits much greater thermal inertia due to its enormous heat capacity, and also because evaporation moderates ocean warming.

Ocean temperatures generally rise more slowly than land temperatures as a result of the large thermal inertia of the oceans.

This means that if the land does warm faster than the ocean due to its lower thermal inertia, the ocean won't keep up very easily.
