We explain it as the result of physical atmospheric conditions.

Not exact matches

De Selby makes no attempt to explain why a «dark place» such as a cellar need be dark and does not define the atmospheric, physical or mineral conditions which must prevail uniformly in all such places if the theory is to stand.

The equator is an idealized boundary; the ITCZ is a real physical boundary as defined by atmospheric conditions at any time.

And, because it is a physical property of a gas, it isn't proper to ignore it whilst postulating atmospheric conditions.

I think that when people need to resort to conditions 500 million years ago to «refute» present - day directly observable radiative effects from CO2 and other IR - active atmospheric species — backed by solid, lab - tested physical theory — that I'm not the one with a problem airly dismissing a priori «assumptions».

Warming is linked to increases in precipitation extremes partly because of the physical effect of warming on atmospheric conditions.

Based on the understanding of both the physical processes that control key climate feedbacks (see Section 8.6.3), and also the origin of inter-model differences in the simulation of feedbacks (see Section 8.6.2), the following climate characteristics appear to be particularly important: (i) for the water vapour and lapse rate feedbacks, the response of upper - tropospheric RH and lapse rate to interannual or decadal changes in climate; (ii) for cloud feedbacks, the response of boundary - layer clouds and anvil clouds to a change in surface or atmospheric conditions and the change in cloud radiative properties associated with a change in extratropical synoptic weather systems; (iii) for snow albedo feedbacks, the relationship between surface air temperature and snow melt over northern land areas during spring and (iv) for sea ice feedbacks, the simulation of sea ice thickness.

We study climate sensitivity and feedback processes in three independent ways: (1) by using a three dimensional (3 - D) global climate model for experiments in which solar irradiance So is increased 2 percent or CO2 is doubled, (2) by using the CLIMAP climate boundary conditions to analyze the contributions of different physical processes to the cooling of the last ice age (18K years ago), and (3) by using estimated changes in global temperature and the abundance of atmospheric greenhouse gases to deduce an empirical climate sensitivity for the period 1850 - 1980.
