Hunt: It hasn't necessarily been resolved in
so much as just come
into an
equilibrium.
So when the Flood and the magnetic field is taken
into account, it is reasonable to believe that the Assumption of
equilibrium is a false one.
It is by avoiding the rapid decay
into an inert system of
equilibrium that a thunderstorm appears
so extraordinary.
Stan is merely biding his time until the club settles
into a state of
equilibrium so he can start raking in the chips.

So while I'm confident of a step - up here, based on the revenue / earnings drivers I've fully confirmed already (vs. those still to be confirmed), I'm also conscious that changes in fee rates / AUME, sterling, possible new business investment, etc. could eat
into this earnings step - up, and / or a new revenue & earnings
equilibrium might simply re-emerge (albeit, at higher levels).
So isn't rapidly extracting and burning all that concentrated form of carbon and turning it
into dispersed carbon dioxide increasing the planet's entropy very quickly, thus taking us very quickly closer to thermodynamic
equilibrium and ultimately the planet's death?
The standard assumption has been that, while heat is transferred rapidly
into a relatively thin, well - mixed surface layer of the ocean (averaging about 70 m in depth), the transfer
into the deeper waters is
so slow that the atmospheric temperature reaches effective
equilibrium with the mixed layer in a decade or
so.
Since the energy emitted goes like T ^ 4 power, the earth thus emits less energy back
into space, which is why it has to warm (until it reaches a temperature when the earth is again emitting as much energy back out
into space as it receives from the sun and
so is back in
equilibrium).
In
equilibrium, all fluxes
into the surface will be balanced by fluxes out of the surface (including momentum, etc, as well as energy),
so whatever lies beneath the surface gives the surface an effective heat capacity and also (in the oceans) some ability for local / regional imbalances to be balanced globally, with all of that responding to forcings and PR+CR and other feedbacks at the surface.
For example, if the Earth got cold enough, the encroachment of snow and ice toward low latitudes (where they have more sunlight to reflect per unit area), depending on the meridional temperature gradient, could become a runaway feedback — any little forcing that causes some cooling will cause an expansion of snow and ice toward lower latitudes sufficient to cause
so much cooling that the process never reaches a new
equilibrium — until the snow and ice reach the equator from both sides, at which point there is no more area for snow and ice to expand
into.
Rock doesn't move during the short time scales needed for the surface to come
into equilibrium,
so the only vertical heat transport is by diffusion.
The first rate seems to be far slower because there are no winds in the stratosphere
so that
equilibrium can only be reached by diffusion of heat which is really slow; on the other hand we are pumpimg around 1.5 ppm of CO2
into the troposphere every year, over a base value of around 380 ppm.
So, if you instantaneously put a lot of GHGs
into an atmosphere that starts in
equilibrium, radiative outflow < inflow and temperature starts rising.
Over very long time periods such that the carbon cycle is in
equilibrium with the climate, one gets a sensitivity to global temperature of about 20 ppm CO2 / deg C, or 75 ppb CH4 / deg C. On shorter timescales, the sensitivity for CO2 must be less (since there is no time for the deep ocean to come
into balance), and variations over the last 1000 years or
so (which are less than 10 ppm), indicate that even if Moberg is correct, the maximum sensitivity is around 15 ppm CO2 / deg C. CH4 reacts faster, but even for short term excursions (such as the 8.2 kyr event) has a similar sensitivity.
Some of the accumulated heat will be released
into the air above, the
equilibrium has been disrupted, cooler surface, followed by more heat absorbing from the source above, and
so on, result surface temperature oscillation (the AMO).
These same parcels are large enough to be macroscopically in hydrostatic
equilibrium, supported by the well - defined pressure of their neighboring parcels of fluid and at rest, locked in place by the dynamic viscosity
so that to move them one has to do work or otherwise input external energy
into a parcel to destabilize them, overcoming «friction».
The fact that the estimates based on the instrumental period tend to peak low has probably more to do with the fact that the climate has not been in
equilibrium during that entire instrumental period and
so therefore converting the sensitivity computed
into an
equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS), which is what is being discussed, requires some guesswork (and, dare I say it — modelling).
No: that is the beauty of using top of atmosphere radiative balance data — it automatically reflects the flow of heat
into the ocean,
so thermal inertia of the oceans is irrelevant to the estimate of
equilibrium climate sensitivity that it provides, unlike with virtally all other instrumental methods.
At the risk of oversimplifying, I'll condense to the problem
into a single reservoir, the upper ocean, in [quasi]
equilibrium with the atmosphere,
so that the partial pressure of CO2, pCO2, is equal in each compartment.
Forcing more CO2
into the atmosphere does very little to raise ocean temperature
so the
equilibrium point doesn't really change.
The only net exchange going on is within the bounds of the 2nd Law; for example, when pouring hot water
into a cup already half filled with cold water the first amount of hotter will have its heat taken by the colder
so reducing its own and it then becomes the colder to the hot water coming after it, even while it is still hotter than the colder first in the cup still taking its heat — and
so the net exchange in this to
equilibrium.
The difference with S&B's equation is that it introduces a term for the stochastic properties of clouds, N and breaks F
into - ^ T and f; f is ACO2 and - ^ T is a total feedback term which must be negative
so that an infinite
equilibrium is impossible.
In the atmosphere, you do not have a closed system,
so such thermal
equilibrium can hardly be present, given that all manner of things, are driving radiant energy
into any volume of atmosphere, as well as conductive, and mass transport (convective) energy transfers are taking place.
«We were almost at
equilibrium at the peak,
so we were in a good position going
into a downturn, unlike the 1990s,» Korpacz said.
Before I spiraled myself
into a full - blown panic attack, we decided to make the trip back down to a level that didn't mess with my
equilibrium so much.
Acclimation Because wood expands and contracts depending on the level of moisture in the air, wood and some laminate flooring should sit in your house for two to three days before installation
so it has a chance to come
into equilibrium with your home's moisture content.
