Sentences with phrase «lower atmosphere»

Which, in turn, pumps warm lower atmosphere air into the upper atmosphere, where the IR path to space is far shorter.

However there has been a vigorous debate about whether the increase in lower atmosphere temperatures has slowed down.

And adding more CO2 to the atmosphere in the short - term triggered even more energy loss from the surface and lower atmosphere there, the team's climate simulations suggest.

The datasets are the surface temperature measurements of NASA GISS, HadCRUT, and NOAA, plus the satellite measurements of lower atmosphere temperature by RSS and UAH.

Other extraordinary claims - such as a claim by scientists at the University of Alabama that Earth's lower atmosphere cooled since 1979, and that such cooling contradicts «warming Earth» findings - have not withstood rigorous scientific examination.

By combining observations from the ground and in space, the team observed a plume of low - energy plasma particles that essentially hitches a ride along magnetic field lines — streaming from Earth's lower atmosphere up to the point, tens of thousands of kilometers above the surface, where the planet's magnetic field connects with that of the sun.

If the surface and lower atmosphere become warmer than the temperature set by insolation, gravity and mass they will emit more energy to space, there will be more energy outgoing than incoming and the system will cool back to the earlier temperature.

When scrutinized closely, there are differences, but those would be expected when one methodology is measuring lower atmosphere temps and the other methodology is based on near - surface temps of land and water.

Many could evaporate as they pass through the dry lower atmosphere and never reach the surface.

The work was supported by the projects SOPRAN (Surface Ocean Processes in the Anthropocene) and BIOACID (Biological impacts of Ocean Acidification), both funded by the Bundesminsterium für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF) and is a contribution to the international SOLAS project (Surface Ocean — Lower Atmosphere Study).

I have observed greater variations in Arctic Inversions lately, the tendency is towards less steep inversions, this is expected when the Arctic lower atmosphere warms during winter, if the models maintain a stronger inversion while its observed weakening this may explain why sea ice models fail, strong boundary layers appear to be collapsing.

IR Downwelling really seems to describe the heat of the entire lower atmosphere better than other traditional and none traditional methods.

The increase possibly has raised the absolute lower atmosphere temps to about -4.0 °C, which is still significantly below zero.

The cold nearshore waters couple with the descending, adiabatically warmed air aloft to form a stable lower atmosphere with a strong temperature inversion, which has long been linked to a prevalence of low stratiform clouds.

It may have formed on Venus when winds in the planet's lower atmosphere slammed into a mountain range and were pushed into the upper atmosphere, where it got stuck, a team of Japanese researchers report January 16 in Nature Geoscience.

(For comparison, Earth's lower atmosphere contains about 1 percent water vapour on average.)

Hydrometeorology basically deals with the transfer of water and energy between several land and water bodies at a slightly lower atmosphere.

Satellites operating since 1979 have monitored lower atmosphere (tropopause) temperature over the land and oceans.

temperature increase in lower atmosphere 4.

The two data sets of lower atmosphere temperatures as measured globally using weather balloons and satellites were not used by the WMO, but they show a less alarming result — there is no upward statistical trend in global temperatures over the past 18 years, a feature much discussed in scientific journals as «the pause».

Increased atmospheric CO2 tends to close this window and cause outgoing radiation to emerge from higher, colder levels, thus warming the surface and lower atmosphere by the so called greenhouse mechanism»

This work is linked and communicated to the international Surface Ocean and Lower Atmosphere Study (SOLAS) community and IMBER (both with the International Geosphere - Biosphere Programme IGBP), the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) and International Ocean Carbon Coordination Project (IOCCP).

States that the Arctic lower atmosphere has warmed more rapidly than that of the globe as a whole, and this has been accompanied by unprecedented sea ice melt

i) In the center of the band 95 % of radiation (at that specific wavelength) is absorbed in just 1m of the atmosphere ii) in the «wings» of the band, the absorption through the entire lower atmosphere might range from 10 % — 50 %, depending on wavelength (you can see the transmissivity of the whole band in Atmospheric Radiation and the «Greenhouse» Effect — Part Nine
