Sentences with phrase «new equilibrium point»

Thus a new equilibrium point is established where energy received during the day is lost at night.

The high thermal inertia of the oceans means there is a slow climb in temperature to the new equilibrium point.

We have heard for years that as we push the climate system toward some new equilibrium point, we can expect «nasty surprises».

Also note that human induced warming probably will trigger natural C02 / methane emissions leading to further warming so anthropogenic source will probably play a decreasing role in the amount of C02 in the atmosphere as the planet moves to a new equilibrium point.

'Cause the tariff thing won't work, unless, at some point, and this seems to me entirely possible — the president will say, «Okay, I've done enough,» and move on to saying, «Okay, we've got a new equilibrium.»

Ice sheet retreat continues until a new equilibrium temperature state is reached, one determined largely by the end - point of atmospheric CO2.

Thus the balance below is pushed past a point at which stage a new equilibrium spontaneously emerges.

In other words, the «tipping point» is already far exceeded and there can not be any new equilibrium of production / neutralization of greenhouse gases.

Ice sheet retreat continues until a new equilibrium temperature state is reached, one determined largely by the end - point of atmospheric CO2.

For example, if the Earth got cold enough, the encroachment of snow and ice toward low latitudes (where they have more sunlight to reflect per unit area), depending on the meridional temperature gradient, could become a runaway feedback — any little forcing that causes some cooling will cause an expansion of snow and ice toward lower latitudes sufficient to cause so much cooling that the process never reaches a new equilibrium — until the snow and ice reach the equator from both sides, at which point there is no more area for snow and ice to expand into.

When pulses of warm water are strong enough to rise over the shelf's outer ridge, that warm dense water then flows downward to the grounding point of the glacier and remains there until a new equilibrium is established via basal melting and a retreating grounding point.

Simple mass balance suggests that there Is no point when the atmosphere is cooler and then warms to a new equilibria?»

If CO2 and H2O molecules now are cooled below the previous equilibrium point by having their radiation allowed to escape to outer space, then I believe these molecules must then tend to absorb more energy than yield energy with each interaction with the other components of the atmosphere until that atmosphere as a whole reaches a new thermal equilibrium where the net radiation going out and the net radiation coming in (primarily from the sun and the surrounding atmosphere) is the same.

* Here Anthony Watts acknowledges the fact that AGW has nothing to do with faith, but is true and tried science that should be the guideline for future, as physics and engineering both point to the fact that once a system that tries to reach an equilibrium according to QM (approximated by Newtonian mechanics) is disturbed enough it will change towards a new equilibrium state with potentially catastrophic and chaotic alterations in the system, which will present problems for the subsystems functioning within this system, in the AGW case this could be the human cultural system, though Watts doesn't mention it in the lead.

However, once equilibrium is as close as it can be then theoretically, re-radiation should occur at night, or at the point when the temperature goes down, and presumably this is where the greenhouse effect should be felt the most — yet matter emits heat very quickly — and quickly thermalise to new temperatures, so as not to give off that much radiation.

In short the PETM seems to contradict the AGW point of equilibrium climate sensitivity based on a new level of forcing through CO2 increase..

Nassar points out that investmentdisputes under the new law «now may be referred to a ministerial committee which has the power to settle any differences that may arise in respect of contracting procedures, rescheduling, re-negotiating the state - investment contracts to maintain equilibrium».
