Sentences with phrase «meters of water vapor»

«The mountain, which has been issued the alert status, has released up to 200 meters of water vapor.

Not exact matches

Water vapor permeated the material at the target rate of less than 10 - 6 grams per square meter per day.

Photograph of the 100 - meter radio telescope used to detect water vapor in the early universe courtesy of the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy

SOFIA mission public engagement & public outreach efforts, including maintaining the Science Center website and producing social media output, are jointly managed & implemented by SOFIA staff employed by USRA, the SETI Institute, and the Astronomical Society of the Pacific.SOFIA is a modified Boeing 747SP aircraft that carries a telescope with an effective diameter of 100 inches (2.5 meters) at altitudes up to 45,000 feet (14 km), above the obscuring layer of water vapor in Earth's atmosphere.

Depending on just what you assume about cloud and water vapor distributions, this yields a radiative forcing of about -2.5 Watts per square meter.

C isothermic level in the pacific appeared to rise from an average of 400 meters to about 100 meters recently; I find myself wondering then how is it that the oceans heat content is dropping, the solar input appears to be consistant, that one of the GEWEX comitties appears to indicate that the atmospheric water vapor seems to be decreasing.

BTW, For the radiation fans, they could look at the portion of the solar spectrum absorbed by water vapor that also penetrates below 10 meters in the ocean.

By that measure, total column CO2 is ~ 3 meters or ~ 3 atm m. Engineering heat transfer calculations often use standard pressure times path length to calculate emissivities of CO2 and water vapor in furnaces from tables or graphs rather than having to do full RT calculations.

There are those who appear to steadfastly maintain that all thermal radiation is from the surface and the and the convection return flow, which must heat at the dry adiabatic rate of 9.8 deg C per 1000 meters going down — unless it is gobbling up condensed water vapor on the way, and reach the surface before it can be cooled again.

A thunderstorm event might be best depicted as a run - away rising column of air that is becoming progressively warmer than the surrounding air as condensing water vapor yields its heat of vaporization until almost all water vapor has condensed out and then cooling at a rate of 9.8 deg C per 1000 meters, it eventually reaches a warmer layer of air and spreads out like smoke over a ceiling.

«The amount of water vapor in clouds varies widely depending on temperature, pressure, etc., but five grams per cubic meter is about average.»

When the convective processes of the atmosphere remove enough water vapor from the oceans to drop sea levels and build polar ice caps, as has happened many times before, the top 35 meters of the oceans where climate models assume the only thermal mixing occurs, must heat up cold ocean water that comes from depths below the original 35 meter depth, removing vast more amounts of heat from the earth's surface and atmosphere.

In light of trends showing a likely 3 °C or more global temperature rise by the end of this century (a figure that could become much higher if all feedback processes, such as changes of sea ice and water vapor, are taken into account) that could result in sea level rises ranging from 20 to 59 cm (again a conservative estimation), Hansen believes it is critical for scientists in the field to speak out about the consequences and rebuke the spin offered by pundits who «have denigrated suggestions that business - as - usual greenhouse gas emissions may cause a sea level rise of the order of meters.»

The Misfit Vapor will feature a circular 1.39 - inch AMOLED touchscreen, Qualcomm's Snapdragon 2100 processor, 4 GB of internal storage, and water resistance of up to 50 meters.

The Misfit Vapor is packed full of great features, like water resistance up to 50 meters deep and a heart rate sensor to monitor your heart rate while you exercise.
