Sentences with phrase «much increased evaporation»

But how much increased evaporation was necessary to create appositive feedback.

Not exact matches

During the dry season, with no fog layer to reflect sunlight, the smaller cloud cover allows plants to receive much higher radiation, increasing evaporation and photosynthesis rates, another process missed by the GCMs.

This additional precipitation is sustained by more energy leaving the surface by evaporation — that is, in the form of latent heat flux — and thereby offsets much of the increase in longwave flux to the surface.

Annual average evaporation (Figure 10.12) increases over much of the ocean, with spatial variations tending to relate to those in the surface warming (Figure 10.8).

Part way there, but no quantitation yet: of the 3.77 W / m ^ 2 radiated back dowwnard, most goes to increased rate of evaporation of the water at the surface, and much less goes to increased mean temp increase at the surface; hence increased rate of non-radiative transfer of heat from surface to upper atmosphere, slight increase in rainfall as hydrological cycle is faster, and slight increase in cloud cover.

I don't have any references, but since IR only penetrates the nano - skin of ocean water and absorption and reemission is a VERY rapid process, then as I understand it, there is very little heating of the water, and hence not much in the way of increased evaporation.

To find out exactly how much greening Arctic warming would bring, the team used a model that projected how temperature changes would affect snow cover, vegetation, and the increased evaporation and transpiration from plants in the Arctic.

The main message of the figure below is that the precipitation and evaporation increase at a much lower rate than Clausius — Clapeyron would predict, about 2 - 4 % per degree K.

As the temperature increases, the water vapor pressure (hence by inference the water evaporation rate on non-dry surface) increases supralinearly; that is, a 1K increase from 288 K is much less than a 1K increase from 308K.

Scientists have found that global warming is melting Bolivia's glaciers and has increased evaporation rates by as much as 200 percent near its key lakes.

Moreover, the large increase in observed evaporation (vs the much smaller increases in the model outputs) is not a simple direct function of increased sea surface temperatures.

By comparison, climate models consistently predict a much lower increase (1 % -3 % / K) in evaporation and rainfall.

The pan evaporation level was observed to decrease considerably during much of this period, despite the increasing temperature.

Whether or not increased backradiation from an increased CO2 concentration causes the heat content (of a body of water) to increase, is determined by how much of that «energy in» flux gets converted into energy out flux in form of evaporation, etc..

So evaporation doesn't control sea surface temperatures, but it does couple that surface temperature to the overlying air temperature, but importantly one needs to satisfy the TOA budget to determine what that temperature is, i.e., it wouldn't be correct to assume there's an upper bound on SSTs after which evaporation is so efficient that the temperature can't increase much more.
