That excess tropical energy fueled rising air in a process known as convection, creating rain, releasing heat, and forming large - scale atmospheric patterns called Rossby waves.

Importantly, the white graphene is produced in a standard atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition process, which Stehle and her colleagues believe could easily be scaled up to commercial production volume levels at a reasonable cost.

These climate indices are correlated with population dynamics [8], [9] because they reflect atmospheric circulation patterns which regulate large scale oceanographic processes and ecosystem productivity [10], [11].

The workshop, building on the knowledge and practical skills acquired during the school, aims to bring together expertise on large - scale atmospheric and oceanic dynamics, small scale cloud and precipitation processes, hierarchical climate modeling and observation.

Earth system models integrate atmospheric, oceanic, chemical, and biological processes, many of which are too complex or occur at scales too small to simulate directly (e.g., formation of individual clouds).

While models contain a lot of physics, they don't contain many small - scale processes that more specialised groups (of atmospheric chemists, or coastal oceanographers for instance) might worry about a lot.

Quote: Retired senior NASA atmospheric scientist, Dr. John S. Theon, 15th Jan 2009,» My own belief concerning anthropogenic climate change is that the models do not realistically simulate the climate system because there are many very important sub-grid scale processes that the models either replicate poorly or completely omit.

θ = potential temperature, which is conserved for dry adiabatic processes and is a useful vertical coordinate for examining various fluid mechanical processes (like Rossby waves) when the atmospheric lapse rate is stable (for dry convection)(which is generally true on a large scale away from the boundary layer).

Given that the answer to this for atmospheric models is a resounding «NO» (particularly because of sub-grid scale processes which need to be effectively pre-ordained through parameterizations), and given that oceanic circulations have much longer adjustment time scales, yet also have much more intense small scale (gyre) circulations than the atmosphere, my instinct is that we are not even close to being able to trust ocean models without long term validation data.

We need to be cognizant of everything from local - scale stable boundary layer micrometeorolgy and ocean unstable boundary layer turbulent processes to global oceanic and atmospheric circulation patterns such as the Arctic Oscillation and the Gulf Stream's seasonal evolution.

Well - understood physical and chemical processes can easily explain the alleged evidence of a secret, large - scale atmospheric spraying program, commonly referred to as «chemtrails» or «covert geoengineering,» concludes a new...

However, despite uncertainties about some climate processes, we know enough to say that the time scale on which we must begin to reduce atmospheric GHG amounts is measured in decades, not centuries.

Earth system models integrate atmospheric, oceanic, chemical, and biological processes, many of which are too complex or occur at scales too small to simulate directly (e.g., formation of individual clouds).

A comparison of the radiative equilibrium temperatures with the observed temperatures has indicated the extent to which the other atmospheric processes, such as convection, large - scale circulation, and condensation processes, influence the thermal energy balance of the system.

The results indicate that the surface ocean pCO2 trend is generally consistent with the atmospheric increase but is more variable due to large - scale interannual variability of oceanic processes.

Thirty years later, the relevance of this study has been realized in the development of stochastic approaches to represent cumulus convection and its upscale energy transports, and in the emerging efforts to resolve these multi-scale processes in atmospheric simulations at the cloud system - resolving scale (approx. 1 km).

The atmospheric vortex engine (AVE) promises to exploit the natural processes responsible for creating hurricanes, tornadoes, and waterspouts, although on a much smaller scale.

Process - based studies have focused on understanding the role of the land surface on climate, with research looking into the regional impact of historical or hypothetical (future scenario) land - use change on climate, as well as understanding diurnal - scale relationships between surface fluxes of heat and moisture and subsequent atmospheric processes such as convection and the generation of precipitation.

In the context of models that include cloud processes, ranging from small - scale models of clouds and atmospheric chemistry to global weather and climate models, the unified theoretical foundations presented here provide the basis for incorporating cloud microphysical processes in these models in a manner that represent the process interactions and feedback processes over the relevant range of environmental and parametric conditions.
