Sentences with phrase «prevent changes in surface temperature»

Therefore, climate change is the negative system response whereby changes in circulation within an increased or decreased atmospheric volume effectively prevent changes in surface temperature.

Re 9 wili — I know of a paper suggesting, as I recall, that enhanced «backradiation» (downward radiation reaching the surface emitted by the air / clouds) contributed more to Arctic amplification specifically in the cold part of the year (just to be clear, backradiation should generally increase with any warming (aside from greenhouse feedbacks) and more so with a warming due to an increase in the greenhouse effect (including feedbacks like water vapor and, if positive, clouds, though regional changes in water vapor and clouds can go against the global trend); otherwise it was always my understanding that the albedo feedback was key (while sea ice decreases so far have been more a summer phenomenon (when it would be warmer to begin with), the heat capacity of the sea prevents much temperature response, but there is a greater build up of heat from the albedo feedback, and this is released in the cold part of the year when ice forms later or would have formed or would have been thicker; the seasonal effect of reduced winter snow cover decreasing at those latitudes which still recieve sunlight in the winter would not be so delayed).

Due to the surface air temperature being tied to the sea surface temperature any change in the resistor efficiency of the air will attempt to prevent that equilibrium between sea and air.

One of the important points for the actual dispute is if the increase of evaporation from the surface of the oceans prevents the rise of temperature of oceans, which would be expected due to the increase of the back radiation (which, in turn, is due to the change of the composition of the atmosphere).

It could be evenly distributed in the global ocean causing an almost imperceptable rise in its temperature well beyond the margin of detection error or it could be rejected by more efficient means of transport from surface to space or by a change which prevents it from ever reaching the surface in the first place.
