Having the peak in the cooling occur at depth rather than at the surface is not that suprising considering how that figure was calculated.

Moreover, most of this flow probably occurs at some depth, where the temperature is close to zero, so its heat transport is also very low.

One reason the Tuesday quake, which subjected some three million people to «severe shaking,» was so damaging is that it occurred at a relatively shallow depth, the fault having ruptured about 10 kilometers below the surface, Blanpied noted.

Global peaks in abundance and biomass of animals at mid slope depths occur because this is the depth range where the vertically migrating animals are most easily captured by fishes that live at or near the seafloor.

These are just a handful of examples of the in - depth learning that occurred at home once my students were given the gift of time:

Nitrogen Narcosis is a reversible alteration in consciousness that occurs while diving at depth.

In at least one instance, the inferred pore space gas hydrate occurred at 119m, a depth shallower than the predicted methane hydrate stability zone.

Rather, excess CO2 returns toward baseline at a multitude a different rates, with chemical equilibration in the ocean occurring over decades (depending on depth), ocean carbonate buffering through sediment dissolution requiring centuries to millennia, and eventual restoration of carbonate sediment levels by terrestrial weathering occurring over hundreds of thousands of years — a long «tail» that can account for as much as 20 to 40 percent of CO2 excess in the estimates described by David Archer et al in CO2 Atmospheric Lifetimes.

The plumes were discovered in 50 to 1,500 meters of water, with most of the seeps occurring at between 250 and 600 meters depth, along a zone stretching from Cape Hatteras to Georges Bank.

I agree with a lot of your assertions, e.g. the practical irrelevance of the adiabatic and hence essentially reversible ALR — the only mechanism that actually cools the atmosphere (permanently removes heat from it) is radiation, and that occurs in the upper troposphere where the atmosphere ceases to be opaque to e.g. LWIR (although it is more complex than this, this process occurs in depth and at different depths in different frequencies).

Referring to Figure 4 for example, the maximum soil temperature occurs in late August (when cooling demand is high) at a depth of 5 feet below the ground surface, but occurs in late October (after the heating season has begun) at a depth of 12 feet below the surface.

Scientists use permafrost temperature, measured at a depth where seasonal variations cease to occur, as an indicator of long - term change and to represent the mean annual ground temperature.

p. 42, «The maximal inferred water depth value occurred in Lake Iso Lehmälampi ca. 1700 AD, which is consistent with the results of Tiljander et al. (2003), who suggested wetter climatic conditions at that time.»

and can occur within the sediments at depth or close to the sediment - water interface.

At such a depth, CO2 becomes denser than seawater and liquefies — which means that, even if a leak were to occur, it shouldn't be able to rise up to the surface.

Consider that just moving some of the already warmer surface water to depth (while some upwelling of colder water occurs elsewhere as a compensation) results in an increasing heat content at depths while * simultaneously * producing a decrease in heat content at the surface.
