Sentences with phrase «reduces radiative heat»

Of course, it also reduces radiative heat losses too.

It would provide important insight into how much SRM would reduce radiative heating, the concentration of water vapor in the stratosphere, and the processes that determine water vapor transport — which affects the concentration of ozone.

Not exact matches

However, the colder ocean surface reduces upward radiative, sensible and latent heat fluxes, thus causing a large (∼ 50 W m − 2) increase in energy into the North Atlantic and a substantial but smaller flux into the Southern Ocean (Fig. 8c).

It is the reduced amount of radiation leaving the top of the atmosphere that changes the earth's balance of heat, and therefore defines the «direct radiative forcing» caused by doubling CO2.

This makes sense given that the more rapid initial response for finite flow through the depth of the ocean reduces the radiative disequilibrium (the heat source) faster, so that it then takes longer to heat up the rest of the system (the weighted - average T of the system nearly follows the exponential decay for that amount of heat capacity for ~ 2 years and then lags behind).

... interestingly in the grey gas case with no solar heating of the stratosphere, increasing the optical thickness of the atmosphere would result in an initial cooling of and in the vicinity of the skin layer (reduced OLR), and an initial radiative warming of the air just above the surface (increased backradiation)-- of course, the first of those dissappears at full equilibrium.

Seriously — if this heat pile up and CO2 radiative trapping of heat really worked AND it is essential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions then Engineers — who are actually smart unlike climate scientists — would have easily built a «Greenhouse gas coal fired power station.

Secondly, objects radiate proportion to the fourth power of surface temp, thus spreading the heat over a larger surface reduces radiative efficiency.

Radiative forcing only accounts for about 1/3 of ocean heat loss — when radiative heat loss is reduced the ocean simply loses more heat the way it loses the majority of its heatRadiative forcing only accounts for about 1/3 of ocean heat loss — when radiative heat loss is reduced the ocean simply loses more heat the way it loses the majority of its heatradiative heat loss is reduced the ocean simply loses more heat the way it loses the majority of its heat already.

Replacing the vaccuum with CO2 would no doubt reduce the conductive and convective insulation (ie increase conductive & convective heat loss) theoretically radiative heat loss should remain the same.

Convection can therefore compensate for reduced radiative transfer if its mean vertical extent reaches the height of the planetary heat loss.

In other words, the reduced radiative energy flux must be compensated through increased temperatures or altered latent / sensible heat fluxes.

-LCB- 9.4, Box 9.2 -RCB- • The observed reduction in surface warming trend over the period 1998 to 2012 as compared to the period 1951 to 2012, is due in roughly equal measure to a reduced trend in radiative forcing and a cooling contribution from natural internal variability, which includes a possible redistribution of heat within the ocean (medium confidence).
