Sentences with phrase «rather different atmosphere»

Not exact matches

It may seem surprising to people, but you can look at something like Mars, which has a very thin atmosphere, and you can look at something like Venus which we tend to think of as sort of having this rather heavy, clouded atmosphere, which [is] hellishly warm because of runaway greenhouse effect, and on both of those planets you are seeing this phenomenon of the atmosphere leaking away, is actually what directly has led to those very different outcomes for those planets; the specifics of what happened as the atmosphere started to go in each case [made] all the difference.

It takes a completely different approach from the other games, going all in for atmosphere and tension, rather than the grotesque.

In 2) i wanted to discuss the different forcing efficacies of solar shortwave compared to anthro fossil carbon combustion upon global average surface temperature, rather than the emission temperature at top of atmosphere

In a subtly different interpretation than Lovelock, Schwartzman sees Gaia as more of a co-evolution of organisms and atmosphere rather than regulation by the biota.

Rather, they represent a range of possible futures, consistent with different concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Rather, the intrinsic thermal lapse between two reservoirs at different temperatures creates the convection that establishes a self - consistent lapse in the atmosphere in between, which can be enormously complex because once the convective forces exceed certain limits, the convective flow becomes turbulent.

The complexity of all different processes influencing the removal rate of CO2 from the atmosphere has lead to the conclusion that it deviates strongly from exponential, but can be presented by a sum of several exponentials over a rather wide range of concentration.

The reality will be rather different If we continue to emit ever - greater quantities of CO2 and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, then average global temperatures will rise by 2 °C over the next three decades compared to pre-industrial times.

It is also not some universal constant for doubling CO2, but rather is unique to the modern atmosphere and can change with different overlap with other gases, or even at different CO2 concentration regimes (the logarithmic forcing breaks down for example at very low or very high concentrations).

What is important is not the exchanges between these different subsystems but rather the additions to the overall system consisting of the atmosphere + biosphere + ocean mixed layer.

Should the climate negotiations try to cap CO2 pollution in the atmosphere at 550 parts per million (ppm), 450 ppm, or some other (hopefully lower) figure Or should we take an entirely different approach and try to cap temperature change itself, rather than CO2 pollution And what must we know about the kinds of impacts and instabilities that can be expected at any given level View Full Text»
