Sentences with phrase «radiation balance due»

Not exact matches

This is consistent with the finding that reduced warming is not mainly a result of a change in radiation balance but due to oceanic heat storage.

Thus the radiation heat balance, according to the IPCC, in the NH must be far less positive than in the SH (as example: a loss of 5 W / m2 TOA due to aerosols in the NH Indian Ocean).

«the tendency to a radiative equilibrium means that the emitter with the higher surface temperature will loose energy due to a negative net radiation balance until this net radiation balance becomes zero.»

It clearly states that (a) emission of energy by radiation is accompanied with cooling of the surface (if no compensating changes prevent it), and (b) the tendency to a radiative equilibrium means that the emitter with the higher surface temperature will loose energy due to a negative net radiation balance until this net radiation balance becomes zero.

radiative forcing a change in average net radiation at the top of the troposphere resulting from a change in either solar or infrared radiation due to a change in atmospheric greenhouse gases concentrations; perturbance in the balance between incoming solar radiation and outgoing infrared radiation

This is an energy balance constraint due to the effectiveness of radiation in removing excess surface energy above the balanced state, seen for example just after El Ninos as the surface temperature anomaly cools within a year.

The final temperature the earth attains represents a balance between the amount of radiation reflected back and the temperature increase due to that reflection of energy.»

1) The influence of methane on the Earth energy balance is not due to the absorption peak at 3.3 µm because that wavelength has very little role in solar radiation and even less in IR radiated from the Earth.

The only comment I agree with is that the shell does not transfer «heat» to the sphere (by definition of heat transfer), but it does cause the sphere to heat up due to the transfer of back radiation energy (you can have energy transfer both ways, but heat transfer only refers to NET energy transfer), and this requires a higher sphere equilibrium temperature for a given energy net transfer for net energy balance.

An increase in net energy input to the ITCZ in a perturbed climate (via reduced outgoing longwave radiation due to increased carbon dioxide concentrations, for example) means that, for energetic balance, the circulation and vertical velocity in the ITCZ must strengthen in order to export the excess energy (assuming the gross moist stability in the ITCZ is positive and constant).

Axel Kleidon and Maik Renner of the Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry in Jena, Germany, used a simple energy balance model to determine how sensitive the water cycle is to an increase in surface temperature due to a stronger greenhouse effect and to an increase in solar radiation.

And this process is not linear, as the processes resultant from a net ongoing energy change due a massive increase in external input (a multi million year change — increase — in lower atmospheric thermal radiation absorption and re radiation, in the sense of our geologically recent evolved «temperate» earth climate and global energy balance is massive) is not linear.

Where there is no solar radiation, thesurface energy balance shows that the back radiation is less than the heat loss due to emission, evaporation and convection.Hence the surface temperature and evaporation rate are lower.

Radiative Forcing A change in average net radiation (in W m - 2) at the top of the troposphere resulting from a change in either solar or infrared radiation due to a change in atmospheric greenhouse gases concentrations; perturbance in the balance between incoming solar radiation and outgoing infrared radiation.
