Sentences with phrase «overall heat balance»

As far as the overall heat balance is concerned, these are all negligible (some of them may of course have other effects — such as on cloud formation — that have a significant indirect impact on the heat balance).

Trenberth readily acknowledges that there are still some gaps in understanding the Earth's overall heat balance.

Not exact matches

NREL's CST BOP design capability can integrate the hydrogen production with the solar thermal collection and storage for plant overall heat and mass balance.

Ocean heat content variability is thus a critical variable for detecting the effects of the observed increase in greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere and for resolving the Earth's overall energy balance.

ENSO changes the cloud cover and water vapour amounts and so you would expect it to affect the Top - of - the - atmosphere radiation balance which changes the overall amount of heat in the system.

I ask because my limited understanding is that temperature is related to kinetic energy, but would not register an overall increase in potential energy, in which case energy from the sun could be partitioned in heat energy emitted from the planet and work used to increase potential energy, possibly allowing an energy balance that does not require a radiation balance, and also does not require a warming effect.

That claim is too simple to be useful, ignoring a) the complex interaction of Boltzmann radiation with the surface, the clouds, the GHGs, and the like, and b) the various regimes in the tropics, each of which modifies and changes the overall energy balance by things like convection and latent heat transfer.

-- the overall change to the global heat balance climate from basic physics bounded by paleo observations (over time increasingly constrained by modern observations)-- the probable overall patterns of regional change at a large scale — the range of impacts.

Since less water is coming down from the Arctic, less water must be going up there in that central piece of the Gulf Stream (as the overall flow is nearly balanced), and so the heat - pump that warms Europe is presumably being affected.

The decadal (and multi-decadal) variability in the temperatures could through that mechanism be related to variability in the overall energy balance of the whole Earth, not only to the internal distribution of heat within the Earth system.

Overall the Lenovo K8 Note is a balanced device with a couple of negatives like average camera performance under low light and heating issues.
