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.

Arctic sea ice is declining rapidly, and some researchers predict that fresh meltwater will inhibit nutrient transport and limit biological activity, allowing the surface ocean to come into equilibrium with atmospheric CO2 and promoting acidification.

The continued increase in temperature after the time of CO2 stabilisation (Figure 9.16) is in part due to the later stabilisation of the other gases but is primarily due to the inertia in the climate system which requires several centuries to come into equilibrium with a particular forcing.

This is what is known as the «transient» climate sensitivity — «transient», in that the entire climate system has not yet come into equilibrium with the added energy.

The disequilibrium referred to comes from the fact that the ocean has a lot of thermal inertia and takes a long time to warm up, whereas the atmosphere has a short response time and quickly comes into equilibrium with any given ocean temperature, corresponding to the current amount of greenhouse gases.

When fossil CO2 increases atmospheric concentrations it comes into equilibrium with that in the oceans mostly over about a year, but continues slowly over around 10 years.

It took millions of years for the seas to soak up this oxygen, but eventually they came into equilibrium with the atmosphere.

I first hooked into this with the work of Ilya Prigogine, where he showed that the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics didn't preclude natural evolution and characterized far from equilibrium thermodynamics.

Genuine beauty entails such a fragile balance between the extremes of complexity and harmony that the slide into either confusion or triviality is more of a possibility than with those things or events that are closer to equilibrium.

Besides, by the time you messed around with all that stuff he'd probably have grown into the next stage of equilibrium anyway.

Elevated levels of Nanog are also associated with a reduced probability of differentiation leading to the suggestion that ES cells exist in equilibrium between a stable self - renewing, ICM - like state referred to as the «ground state» and a transient metastable intermediate that is both able to revert to the self - renewing state or proceed into differentiation [8], [11], [47].

«Growth can only be new, for awareness is the ever - changing adjustment of the human psyche to chaos,» Noguchi said in his artist statement for the 1946 MoMA exhibition «Fourteen Americans,» continuing, «If I say that growth is the constant transfusion of human meaning into the encroaching void, then how great is our need today when our knowledge of the universe has filled space with energy, driving us toward a greater chaos and new equilibriums.

While I'm posting (I can see how you guys get into this) I'm also very uncomfortable with your notion of «tacit knowledge:» it certainly seems to be tacit knowledge in the blogosphere that the chances of the climate sensitivity (equilibrium warming on indefinite stabilization at 560ppm CO2, for the non-enthusiasts) being greater than or equal to 6 degrees are too small to be worth worrying about (meaning down at the level of an asteroid strike).

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.

Mark — What are your thoughts about the analysis by Ramanathan and Feng (PNAS, Sept 17,2008: http://dx.doi.org/10.1073/pnas.0803838105), in which they calculate the committed warming of cumulative emissions since the pre-industrial era as in the region of 2.4 °C (with a confidence interval of 1.4 °C to 4.3 °C), based on calculating the equilibrium temperature if GHG concentrations are held at 2005 levels into the future.

But in full thermodynamic equilibrium, with equilibrium among all photons and non-photons, the rate of emission into a direction and absorption from that direction at some location, of each type of photon, will be equal.

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.

I.absorbed / I.incident = absorptivity; I.absorbed = I.emitted; I.incident = B.emitted (because they have the same brightness temperature, where B.emitted is what would be emitted by a blackbody, and is what would be in equilibrium with matter at that temperature), emissivity = I.emitted / B.emitted; therefore, given that absorptivity is independent of incident intensity but is fixed for that material at that temperature at LTE, and the emitted intensity is also independent of incident intensity but is fixed for that material at that temperature, emissivity (into a direction) = absorptivity (from a direction).

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.

Yes, you're absolutely right, the system is out of equilibrium, with CO2 moving into the oceans.

KR: Yes, you're absolutely right, the system is out of equilibrium, with CO2 moving into the oceans.

We've put more CO2 into the atmosphere than equilibrium, which for the last 800,000 years has gone between ~ 185 and 290 with the glacial cycle.

The thermal gradient (badly named a lapse rate) allows heat transfer downwards by diffusion into warmer regions when the thermodynamic equilibrium is disrupted with new energy absorbed higher up.

Each of these components, C1, C2 and C3, is then associated with some fraction of the emissions into the atmosphere, E, and a particular removal mechanism: where b3 (= 0.1) is a fixed constant representing the Revelle buffer factor, and b1 is a fixed constant such that b1 + b3 = 0.3 [11]; b1 represents the fraction of atmospheric CO2 that would remain in the atmosphere following an injection of carbon in the absence of the equilibrium response and ocean advection; b0 represents an adjustable time constant, the inverse of which is of order 200 years.

Once energy from CO2 and H2O begins to leak into outer space, LTE is violated, temperatures * must * fall until a more global thermal equilibrium is established with incoming thermal radiation and convection.

Sadly, you have to deal with me — an ignoramus who stubbornly persists in thinking that thermodynamic equilibrium is an isothermal state in spite of the fact that you know that nearly every physics textbook on the subject states otherwise and has numerous examples of how physical forces can sort things like gas molecules into stable sub-reservoirs at different temperatures.

Climate sensitivities estimated from recent observations will therefore be biased low in comparison with CO2 - only simulations owing to an accident of history: when the efficacies of the forcings in the recent historical record are properly taken into account, estimates of [Transient Climate Respons — TCR] and [Equilibrium Climate Sensitivity — ECS] must be revised upwards.

Once it comes to rest, with no vertical transport, it instantly starts to conduct heat around to bring the system into real thermal equilibrium, which is isothermal.

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.

If a chair is brough in from the cold into a room at 25C then placed in the centre, at least 5 2 metres from any other object, that chair will reach the equilibrium of the atmosphere, not the radiation from other objects, as those objects are already thermalised with theh atmosphere and aren't giving off much radiation.

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.

I could be wrong, but I think that one possible issue with your analysis is that many of the GCMs mix too much heat down into the deep ocean, which would cause a bias in your estimation (in that their transient response will be damped relative to the equilibrium, to a greater extent that in reality).

The reason for this conclusion is that, unlike the open ocean, pCO2 in coastal ecosystems is not necessarily in equilibrium with the atmosphere at even annual timescales and many coastal ecosystems emit CO2 into the atmosphere (Laruelle et al. 2010; Cai 2011).

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.

However, that increased warmth will increase radiation — Stefan - Boltzman again — which will bring the tire back into thermal equilibrium with its surroundings.

It is a lack of understanding of such things as thermodynamic equilibrium, entropy and energy potentials which has meant that climatologists (with limited education in physics, and far less understanding) have got their physics wrong and got the world into a horrible mess, wasted billions and cost many lives.

Example 4 is the one of interest where the first body has reached an equilibrium temperature with the sun and then a second body with a slightly lower temperature is moved into proximity.

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.

• The cloudy sky moves to that equilibrium effective optical density whereby the net absorbed solar heat can be reradiated out into space with the minimum greenhouse effect, minimum surface temperature or maximum entropy production.»
