Sentences with phrase «overall warming of the atmosphere»

But if (lower) tropospheric warming equals stratospheric cooling then there is no overall warming of the atmosphere, merely a slight redistribution of the heat.

The not - so - obvious short answer is that the overall warming of the atmosphere is actually creating cold - weather extremes.

Not exact matches

Apparently there are academic observations to confirm that a warm bowl of food equals a distinctly felt warm atmosphere, and a certain overall abundance.

His public statements on the subject run directly counter to our best understanding of the science of the overall warming trend in Earth's atmosphere.

Together, the other greenhouse gases account for roughly a third of the molecules trapping heat in the atmosphere — and more than a third of the overall warming of average temperatures globally.

global warming The gradual increase in the overall temperature of Earth's atmosphere due to the greenhouse effect.

The setting, gorgeous cinematography, and soundtrack (which features a pair of haunting songs from Sufjan Stevens) combine for an intoxicating atmosphere, an overall warm experience.

ENSO merely reflects a state of flux for the entire planetary climate system, of which La - Nina cools and El - Nino warms, but overall the temperature of the atmosphere is warming.

If in exceeds out and the diffential MUST exist from top to bottom of the atmosphere, then before the hotter air can migrate to the deep ocean, the daily temerature cycling will force the hotter air at the bottom into an overall equlibrium ie hotter air will rise — or more correctly since GHGs have heated the air up more at the bottom, then the sun induced daily warming will add more heat to the top, & less at the bottom to force the equilibrium — ie effectively hot air rising even if not in actuality.

The «warming» of the troposphere as measured by sensible heat is only one very small part of the energy in the overall climate system, and the part with the very lowest thermal inertia and very sensitive to very small changes in ocean to atmosphere sensible and latent heat flux such as we see in the ENSO cycle.

Only about 2 % of the planet's overall warming heats the atmosphere, so if we focus only on surface air temperatures, we miss 98 % of the overall warming of the globe.

A team of Federal scientists says it has detected an overall warming trend in the earth's atmosphere extending back to the year 1880.

To me all the witnesses and senators are obviously persons of consequence but I don't think your excerpt shows that anyone should think he takes issue with this statement — «No one questions that surface temperatures have increased overall since 1880, or that humans are adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, or that carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases have a warming effect on the planet.»

Bated, A warming lower troposphere results from increased greenhouse gases in the troposphere, with differing effects on other regions of the overall atmosphere (cooling in the stratosphere and mesosphere for example).

It does magnify the night - time greenhouse effect by warming the clouds or the higher levels of the atmosphere, thus increasing the amount of heat radiated back to the surface; though the overall effect is to reduce net planetary greenhouse warming by limiting the temperature gradient.

Elsewhere on this site there is a graph of overall ocean heat content which is building indicating that while the sst is decreasing slightly the overall ocean is warming, It is likely that this overall ocean warming which has nothing to do with changes to the atmospheric temperature because it is the sea surface and not the deep ocean that is in contact with the atmosphere is what is resulting in the overall rise in atmospheric CO2 concentration which is currenly increasing at 2ppmv / year.

warm (like the 1400's when Greenland got it's name) is good and it comes from solar activity... not from the gases in the atmosphere that are small contributors to the overall amount of warmth in the air.

Volcanic activity puts a great number of gaseous materials into the atmosphere so any warming as a result of severe volcanic events would be more likely a result of increasing overall atmospheric density rather than just being attributable to CO2 emissions.

There are two primary externalities that result from our emissions of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere — 1) an enhancement of the greenhouse effect, which results in an alteration of the energy flow in the earth's climate and a general tendency to warm the global average surface temperature, and 2) an enhancement of the rate of photosynthesis in plants and a general tendency to result in more efficient growth and an overall healthier condition of vegetation (including crops).

Global Warming is the rise in the overall temperature of the earth's atmosphere, generally attributed.

Germany and the UK tie for first place overall in «Europe's Dirty 30» league, each having nine of the most polluting power plants, pumping hundreds of tonnes of climate - warming greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.

Given there is much more water vapour in the lower levels of the atmosphere, the study really found that there was a decline in overall global relative humidity when global warming theory suggests it should stay more - or-less stable.

Atmosforests.org It supports the theory that: The sun, the earth, atmosphere, oceans and rainforests, are a complex living organism and the only natural system of the creation, able to adjust and maintain the balance of the atmosphere, of the global warming, oxygen, ozone, general DNA and the overall balance of the planet.

If there was an atmosphere, but one made up of, say, nitrogen only with no greenhouse effect, then the Moon STILL be simple, with a small additional damping effect, and no additional warming overall.
