Sentences with phrase «redistribution of heat»

This is a reasonable assumption because surface redistribution of heat does not alter the calculations and the burying of heat was cyclically static until recent times.

In a global or hemispheric average, in contrast, this kind of redistribution of heat cancels out.

Surface redistribution of heat does not affect the overall heat radiated from an object or its blackbody temperature.

For a given wind speed, including hydrogen recombination results in a larger offset angle, and thus more redistribution of heat.

If so, then it could be that the heat was lost to space, but given the rapid redistribution of heat in the atmosphere via convection, isn't it also possible that the heat was transferred to the ice sheets, resulting in increased freshwater runoff to the oceans?

So clearly heat penetration must have reached its maximum long ago and all that's occurring now is day / night surface redistribution of heat.

If so, life is possible — in that «ring of habitability», between the planet's hot and cold halves, their extremes mitigated by the atmosphere's redistribution of heat.

«It's implausible that such a redistribution of heat in the Arctic system wouldn't change weather patterns somehow, somewhere,» Vavrus said.

Note that unforced temperature variations are caused by a redistribution of the heat within the planetary climate system.

As the distribution of land and ocean areas in the two hemispheres is markedly different the redistribution of heat via MOC leaves open the possibility of the world getting hotter in the first sense whilst the averaged temperatures only rise a little or stagnate.

The only way the Earth can lose heat to space is via radiation, but the redistribution of heat within the oceans, atmosphere and ice sheets can occur via conduction, convetion and radiation.

Here we would like to try to distinguish between warming in the nocturnal boundary layer due to a redistribution of heat and warming due to the accumulation of heat... It is likely that the observed warming in minimum temperature, whether caused by additional greenhouse forcing or land use changes or other land surface dynamics, is reflecting a redistribution of heat by turbulence - not an accumulation of heat.

This means that a major change in global radiation balance would not have been needed to cause these shifts; a redistribution of heat within the climate system would have sufficed.

They were probably associated with a redistribution of heat between the NH and SH rather than with large changes in global mean temperature.

Coauthor Pierre Dutrieux of Lamont - Doherty, said, «The vertical distribution of meltwater influences many global - scale processes, from the redistribution of heat around the globe, to its interactions with the atmosphere and the ecosystem.»

«It's implausible that such a redistribution of heat in the Arctic system wouldn't change weather patterns somehow, somewhere,» Vavrus said.

As I've shown in earlier comments, the atmosphere overreacts to large heat transfers, which are redistributions of heat and not true global warming events.

«Based on these model analyses, it is likely that part of the observed long - term increase in minimum temperature is reflecting a redistribution of heat by changes in turbulence and not by an accumulation of heat in the boundary layer.

Now this mixing is fundamental for large - scale ocean circulation (thermohaline circulation) which enables the redistribution of heat from the equator to the poles.
