Sentences with phrase «of water vapor varies»

However, since the amount of water vapor varies significantly with altitude, and because this is for instructive purposes only, I have not made those adjustments.

However the concentration of water vapor varies with the temperature and is not directly affected by human activities.

The concentration of water vapor varies from a maximum of 40,000 ppmv (Hong Kong) to the lowest measured value of 4 ppmv in the upper stratosphere.

Not exact matches

While atmospheric rivers vary in size and shape, those containing large amounts of water vapor, strong winds, and that stall over watersheds vulnerable to flooding, can create extreme rainfall and floods.

«As you start varying the hydrological cycle of Indonesia, you almost have to vary the Earth's water vapor concentration.

The strength of the signal also varied over hours, weeks and months, because of the water vapor plumes rotating in and out of Herschel's views as the object spun on its axis.

The «factors» are natural phenomena such as water vapor, clouds, sea ice, dust and vegetation — all of which exert varying pulls on the climate.

The modes assume near constant leves of water vapor, but they are not necessarily so close, however, water tends towards equilibrium, so in the long run, the mode averages may not be far off in that regard, but relative humidity does vary greaty, especially during shorter periods of time.

Thus there is convection within the troposphere that (to a first approximation) tends to sustain some lapse rate profile within the layer — that itself can vary as a function of climate (and height, location, time), but given any relative temperature distribution within the layer (including horizontal and temporal variations and relationship to variable CSD contributors (water vapor, clouds)-RRB-, the temperature of the whole layer must shift to balance radiative fluxes into and out of the layer (in the global time averae, and in the approximation of zero global time average convection above the troposphere), producing a PRt2 (in the global time average) equal to RFt2.

There can / will be local and regional, latitudinal, diurnal and seasonal, and internal variability - related deviations to the pattern (in temperature and in optical properties (LW and SW) from components (water vapor, clouds, snow, etc.) that vary with weather and climate), but the global average effect is at least somewhat constrained by the global average vertical distribution of solar heating, which requires the equilibrium net convective + LW fluxes, in the global average, to be sizable and upward at all levels from the surface to TOA, thus tending to limit the extent and magnitude of inversions.)

In that the amount of water vapor produced will vary with both.

In turn, temperature change affects atmospheric water vapor as well as the more dynamical components of equator - to - pole insolation and of temperature gradients that vary on timescales of decades to hundreds of years.

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

This is in addition to there being a much higher partial pressure of water vapor (up to 2.5 %) in the atmosphere than that of CO2 (400ppm which varies with height) It should also be noted that the absorptivity and emissivity of liquid water is close to unity across the full range of wavelength from UV to microwaves.

Needed measurements include not only the conventional climatic variables (temperature and precipitation), but also the time - varying, three - dimensional spatial fields of ozone, water vapor, clouds, and aerosols, all of which have the potential to cause surface and lower to mid-tropospheric temperatures to change relative to one another.

He deduced that the cooperation of these gases has to take the form of an optimal atmospheric transmittance window for infrared radiation, such that if the concentration of one gas, say carbon dioxide, varies and changes atmospheric transmittance, the other components, such as water vapor, will have to compensate for it by changing their concentrations.

Instruments in space tell us how much OLR through clear skies varies with surface temperature, i.e. the combined effects of water vapor and lapse rate feedback.

CO; 2 Observations of the Infrared Radiative Properties of the Ocean «[I] t is necessary to understand the physical variables contributing to sea surface emitted and reflected radiation to space.The emissivity of the ocean surface varies with view angle and sea state, the reflection of sky radiation also depends on view angle and sea state, and the absorption of atmospheric constituents such as water vapor, aerosols, and subdivisible clouds affect transmittance.»

We have no measures of the number of particulates or the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere or how they vary over time.

By varying the water vapor and CO2 content of the atmosphere using MODTRAN, adjusting the surface temperature offset to keep OLR constant at 100 km, it's clear that Ed - Eu and Su - OLR aren't constant as tau changes, as should be expected.

This varies with the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere.

Outgoing energy varies with cloud, ice, water vapor, dust... Where Δ (H&W) = 0 at points of local maximums and minimums then energy in = energy out and there is maximum entropy in the Earth's energy dynamic.
