Sentences with phrase «loss by evaporation»

The excessive heat increased the rate of water loss by evaporation and caused precipitation to shift from snow to rain, leaving a meager snowpack and parched reservoirs.

Not exact matches

Heat loss can occur for a newborn by escaping through the body surface, through evaporation and by cooler surfaces or hands touching her skin.

The findings support the theory that the Gulf of Mexico was landlocked as the Paleocene Epoch morphed into the warmer Eocene, punctuated by a massive loss of water due to evaporation and, millennia later, was inundated again.

(Evapotranspiration is the process by which water is transferred from soil and groundwater to the atmosphere through plant transpiration — loss of water through foliage — and soil evaporation.)

A thin layer on the face can help prevent loss of moisture in the skin caused by evaporation.

where: Q is the change of energy expressed in Joules, Q (s) is incoming shortwave, Q (b) is the «net» back radiation loss, Q (e) is the net loss from evaporation, and Q (h) is the heat loss by conduction and convection

We realised we could easily modify our model to work out the size dependent gains for an unoccupied house by simply taking the fixed gains, and omitting the occupancy dependent ones — the refrigeration, and standby loads stay, whereas the cooking, washing, lighting go, as do the losses from incoming cold water and evaporation.

The other half (~ 1.85 Wm - 2) of the blocked IR energy to space will be compensated by surface energy loss to support enhanced evaporation.

evapotranspiration loss of water from the soil both by evaporation from the surface and transpiration from the plants growing thereon

Even in areas where precipitation does not decrease, these increases in surface evaporation and loss of water from plants lead to more rapid drying of soils if the effects of higher temperatures are not offset by other changes (such as reduced wind speed or increased humidity).5 As soil dries out, a larger proportion of the incoming heat from the sun goes into heating the soil and adjacent air rather than evaporating its moisture, resulting in hotter summers under drier climatic conditions.6

While this is certainly a true statement, it does not follow that we should increase the frequency and magnitude of water resource stress by increasing evaporation, drought frequency, water loss from plants, etc., as the USGCRP report notes will occur as human - induced climate change increases.

To repeat it was found that First, the number of small clusters (< 1.2 nm) was essentially constant over time with loss from evaporation and reaction balancing growth by accretion and reaction.

He modified it in 1948 by including a moisture index that relates the amount of moisture a plant needs to the amount available, known as the Potential Evapotranspiration (PE)(evapotranspiration is the combined moisture loss from the surface either directly, due to evaporation, or indirectly transpired through the plant to the atmosphere).

One way of reducing evaporation losses would be by floating rafts of solar PV (photovoltaic) panels on the dams, giving the advantage of generating power at the same time.

21 Dry Climate Yearly precipitation is not as great as the potential loss of water by evaporation Two Types Arid or Desert Semi-arid or Steppe Transition zone that surrounds the desert and separates it from humid climates

21 21.2 World Climates Dry Climates A dry climate is one in which the yearly precipitation is not as great as the potential loss of water by evaporation.

A membrane wrapped around the system, which is envisioned for use by both commercial producers and home gardeners, prevents water loss due to evaporation.
