Not exact matches

More lightning also would likely generate more nitrogen oxides in the atmosphere, which exert a strong control on atmospheric chemistry.

«Our research also has the potential to be transferred to other crop plants that don't fix nitrogen from the atmosphere but would benefit from being able to uptake nitrogen more efficiently from the soil.»

At the time, he said «the stunning finding that forests can also feed on nitrogen in rocks has the potential to change all projections related to climate change,» because it meant there could be more carbon storage on land and less in the atmosphere than climate models say.

Also in the gallery, four gas cylinders contain nitrogen, oxygen, argon and carbon dioxide, slowly releasing these purified, standardized forms of elemental gases into the atmosphere of the gallery.

And although recognized that there also has been an enormous increase of nitrogenous oxides (reactive nitrogen) in the atmosphere (molecules that can adsorb much more energy than carbon dioxide) their much lower concentrations is hardly getting any attention, when global warming is discussed.

One should also pay attention to other greenhouse gases, particularly methane (from rice paddies, ruminant animal digestive processes, industrial processes, and distributed natural sources, some of which could be triggered to large releases by warming) and nitrous oxide (from the nitrogen cycle linking the atmosphere, plants, and bacteria, now exacerbated by extremely heavy use of nitrogenous fertilizers in agriculture; note, as does Vaclav Smil from the University of Manitoba, that fertilizer use is required to feed half the world's current population.

In the atmosphere, a portion of the nitrogen winds up as nitrous oxide — laughing gas — which is not only a greenhouse gas that is 300 times more potent that carbon dioxide, but also destroys ozone, the gas that keeps us from getting more of a dose of UV radiation.

Acid rain: Also called acid precipitation or acid deposition, acid rain is precipitation containing harmful amounts of nitric and sulfuric acids formed primarily by sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides released into the atmosphere when fossil fuels are burned.

Mars also has a mostly carbon dioxide atmosphere, with traces of nitrogen, argon, oxygen, carbon monoxide and some other gases.

At the time, he said «the stunning finding that forests can also feed on nitrogen in rocks has the potential to change all projections related to climate change,» because it meant there could be more carbon storage on land and less in the atmosphere than climate models say.

Also characteristic of the atmosphere over urban centres are substantially higher concentrations of pollutants such as carbon monoxide, the oxides of sulfur and nitrogen, hydrocarbons, oxidants, and particulate matter.

I have also been looking everywhere for a simulation of a planet with non IR active atmosphere (f.ex nitrogen only).

The team also concluded that land management can introduce more nitrogen into the peatland, which could end up in the atmosphere once it is combusted.

We speculated that, due to the gas laws, there should also be a natural temperature profile between the bottom of the atmosphere and the top — merely due to the presence of the bulk gases (nitrogen & oxygen).

I'm sure you will also find that this lapse rate would be the same for an 80 % pure nitrogen and 20 % pure oxygen atmosphere, because such lapse rate is a function of the acceleration due to gravity.

As I see it the Earth is always going to be bathed in sunlight, some of this will be consumed by plants and so maintain our oxygen rich atmosphere, maintain the various nutrient cycles, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, sulphur, e.t.c., and also excrete long wave radiation.

More lightning also would likely generate more nitrogen oxides in the atmosphere, which exert a strong control on atmospheric chemistry.

it is also this our real gas atmosphere of mainly nitrogen and oxygen which prevents the Earth from going into the extreme heat of the Moon.

Instead, presumably, CO2 is fairly evenly distributed all through the atmosphere - all around our heads and arms and legs - all the way up higher into the troposphere at every location in the troposphere - absorbing and radiating some of its absorbed heat to the also all - surrounding nitrogen / oxygen.

Nitrous oxide is also naturally present in the atmosphere as part of the Earth's nitrogen cycle, and has a variety of natural sources.

Topics that I work on or plan to work in the future include studies of: + missing aerosol species and sources, such as the primary oceanic aerosols and their importance on the remote marine atmosphere, the in - cloud and aerosol water aqueous formation of organic aerosols that can lead to brown carbon formation, the primary terrestrial biological particles, and the organic nitrogen + missing aerosol parameterizations, such as the effect of aerosol mixing on cloud condensation nuclei and aerosol absorption, the semi-volatility of primary organic aerosols, the importance of in - canopy processes on natural terrestrial aerosol and aerosol precursor sources, and the mineral dust iron solubility and bioavailability + the change of aerosol burden and its spatiotemporal distribution, especially with regard to its role and importance on gas - phase chemistry via photolysis rates changes and heterogeneous reactions in the atmosphere, as well as their effect on key gas - phase species like ozone + the physical and optical properties of aerosols, which affect aerosol transport, lifetime, and light scattering and absorption, with the latter being very sensitive to the vertical distribution of absorbing aerosols + aerosol - cloud interactions, which include cloud activation, the aerosol indirect effect and the impact of clouds on aerosol removal + changes on climate and feedbacks related with all these topics In order to understand the climate system as a whole, improve the aerosol representation in the GISS ModelE2 and contribute to future IPCC climate change assessments and CMIP activities, I am also interested in understanding the importance of natural and anthropogenic aerosol changes in the atmosphere on the terrestrial biosphere, the ocean and climate.
