Sentences with phrase «residence time energy»

Assuming a small change in very long residence time energy can not affect the climate is, in my view, simple minded.

Not exact matches

Knowing the locations and residence times of each molecule is important to understanding and controlling surface chemistry, vital for solar energy and other forms of renewable energy.

NOTE: The home improvement energy efficiency tax credit is not only available to first time home buyers, it is available to any purchaser of a primary residence home and ALSO: is available to any homeowner regardless of if you purchase your home in 2009, 2010 or have owned your home for years.

Gavin C. Cawley, On the atmospheric residence time of anthropogenically sourced carbon dioxide, Energy & Fuels, volume 25, number 11, pages 5503 — 5513, September 2011.

Certainly any increase in air temperature from radiative forcings (apparently reasonably well modeled in the GCMs) is going to increase the temperature differential from ground to space, which will increase the vertical air velocity (ie increased hurricane strength) and DECREASE the residence time of energy in the air in the same manner that GHGs increase the residence time.

There's more on the carbon cycle from the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory, NASA's Earth Observatory and a Skeptical Science post by Doug Mackie addressing claims that «CO2 has a short residence time.»

since it is actually the TOTAL residence time of the energy as it is transported from ground to space that causes the difference in temperature.

The mechanism as I have been taught (painfully) in the site, is because the addition of GHG absorbtion causes the energy to stay in the GHG for a few extra microseconds of residence time before the energy is (mostly) returned to the air by molecular collisions, as the energy is transported from ground to space an a series of millions -LRB-?)

Thus if you change the air constituents (ie add GHGs) then the energy transported by radiative effects will increase, but the increase in GHG residence time will cause a feedback and decrease in conduction etc residence time (ie hotter air rising faster).

The net affect is dependent on both the amount of energy affected, and the residence time of the energy affected, which is dependent on both the WL of the energy, and the materials said energy encounters.

For instance, the GHE is based on increasing the residence time of certain WL of LWIR energy via redirecting exiting LWIR energy back into the system, while input remains constant, thus more total energy is within the system.

I'm not saying the photons many millions or even billions of years ago are the same photons found there today but that same level of energy has been residence there on the surface of Venus for a long, long time.

I like to charterize it as a function of time; ie, «the only way to change the energy content of any system (in this case the atmospher, the earth, and the oceans) in a radiative blance is to change the residence time of some aspect of those energy, or to change the input.»

I did not read that «the idea that gravity by itself can create a permanent gradient of temperature in an atmosphere» other then the idea that atmospheric density by itself creates greater heat capacity, thus a longer residence time for energy to saturate while insolation continues unabated.

But in any case, «residence time» (which is more or less what I was getting at) would be a concept more apt to confuse than enlighten — although it does help at least initially to realize that the energy stays within the system for a longer period of time.

In January this extra SW energy is being pumped into the oceans where the «residence time» within the Earth's ocean land and atmosphere is the longest
