Sentences with phrase «radiative influx»

In my experience, if radiative influx changes (either by 3.7 W / m2 from a small cloud, or by 200W / m2 when Sun begins to shine in the morning), surface temperature responds by noon.

I am still unsure of the sign and magnitude of the water effects of radiative influx and efflux; especially the during diurnal cycle and especially over both oceans and land.

The same notation as in the text is used for wind W, precipitation P, net radiative influx R, vertical scale H and horizontal scale L. Arrows in the feedback loop indicate the amplification of one physical processes by another.

Below this threshold in net radiative influx, R c, no conventional monsoon can develop; above R c, two stable regimes exist.

Introduction of nondimensional variables w ≡ Wρ / β and p = P / (q Oβ) results in the nondimensional equation which depends on two parameters only: The dimensionless net radiative influx r ≡ R · ɛαρ2 / (C pβ2) and a measure for the relative role of latent and advective heat transport Large l corresponds to a strong influence of moisture advection (scaling as Lq Oβp) on the continental heat budget compared with heat advection by large - scale and synoptic processes (scaling as C pβ2 w 2 / (αɛρ2)-RRB-.

In the tropics net radiative influx is negative, i.e. radiation cools the atmospheric column.

The ratio ɛ = H / L between vertical extent H of the lower troposphere and the horizontal scale L of the region of precipitation (Fig. 1) enters because of the balance of the horizontal advective heat transport and the vertical fluxes of net radiative influx R and precipitation P.
