Sentences with phrase «less wind mixing»

More parsimoniously either that one station experienced greater upwelling, or there was less wind mixing to deepen the neutralizing effect.

Not exact matches

Shah said that less than half will come from solar and wind and the rest will be a mix of biomass, small hydroelectric, geothermal (derived from underground heat) and nuclear.

This happened in two steps: First, in the Antarctic zone of the Southern Ocean, a reduction in wind - driven upwelling and vertical mixing brought less deep carbon to the surface.

In their defence of wind power, Jérôme Guillet and John Evans state: «You end up paying less for your electricity when wind power is part of the mix» (24 July, p 24).

When analyzing the data, they found a barrier layer, an upper ocean feature created by the Amazon - Orinoco freshwater river outflow, that makes mixing in the upper ocean waters less efficient during wind events.

The wind can also affect the marine environment, she continued, mixing up the water column and dispersing the krill, a penguin's main source of food, which may cause parent penguins to remain at sea for longer periods of time and cause chicks to be fed less frequently.

Low emissions, much less zero emissions, are only true in certain places where most of the electricity comes from a mix of low - carbon sources such as the sun, wind or nuclear reactors.

Point is, with ocean heating, when the warm layer not disturbed so much by the wind, that layer stays on top, heat transfers to the atmosphere; when the warm layer is being mixed in more by the wind, less stays in the atmosphere.

With light winds, the cooling is greater near the surface and less aloft, while with stronger winds, which are associated with greater mixing of the air above a particular location, the cooling rate is more uniform with height.

Just a bit less average surface winds would result in lower evapiration and higher surface temperatures due to less mixing of lower and higher air strata.

This causes more wave action which mixes colder water in from deep sea, this will cause less evaporation) 4) Negatively: more % water vapor in the atmosphere 5) Positively: evaporation itself causes more evaporation (difference in pressure causes wind and wind and heat together causes more evaporation)

Cutting edge data centers of the future will require less of a physical human presence, and are likely to: â $ cents Rely on a VIL to optimize equipment management and provide for virtual remote control capable of instant changes, switches and adds â $ cents Achieve LEED certification for the physical building â $ cents Rely on more efficient water cooling that potentially takes advantage of an on - site tower to chill water for cooling the system (thus reducing energy consumption by using nature's natural cooling power to chill water) â $ cents Use fluid dynamics models to precisely design the interior of the building to maximize the efficiency of the HV / AC system for air - cooled computing systems â $ cents Tap into a mixed energy grid that relies on green energy sources such as solar, wind or hydroelectric (depending on geographic feasibility), along with a reliable city grid thus avoiding the need for the standard back - up Uninterruptible Power Supply (which will reduce equipment costs, minimize floor space used, and increase energy efficiency because systems that employ a UPS convert AC to DC and back, incurring substantial energy losses).

The nation as a whole has less than 2 percent wind in its electricity mix.

But then I went on to envisage, at least in my own mind, a time when large fossil fuel generators had all closed own — mainly in order to avoid ruining our one and only habitable planet — and that the 24/7 power supply would be a mix of Solar PV, solar thermal (eg CSP), wind and the lesser sources such as hydro, tidal, geothermal etc having taken over the complete electricity supply — especially since Australia doesn't have, and is almost certain never to have, nuclear fission plants.

Ocean overturning is a diurnal event, and since the average wind speed over the oceans is little more than BF4, there must be vast swathes of the oceans where the conditions for long periods are BF2 or less when there would be very little ocean / top surface mixing by wind waves or swell.
