Sentences with phrase «scale subsidence»

When there is a large - scale subsidence, the influence from the sea is restricted to a shallow boundary layer and the free tropospheric water vapor content and temperature are physically decoupled from the sea surface temperature underneath.

Under the new slab - ocean approach, the LHF increase is weaker under warming, the Cu layer shallows (if the large - scale subsidence rate is kept fixed), and the inversion strengthens.

If the large - scale subsidence weakens under warming, the difference between the two approaches is less pronounced, because of a fortuitous compensation between the subsidence and surface energy balance effects on the MBL dynamics.

I have analysed several climate model results and find that under a GW regime we would expect to see more record - breaking events at mid - to high latitudes and actually fewer new records than one would expect for the sub-tropics and where there is large - scale subsidence.

Not exact matches

Earth - shaking change Whatever the current rate of subsidence, it may not reflect the full scale of the problem.

Global rainfall increases typically cause an overall reduction of specific humidity (q) and relative humidity (RH) in the upper tropospheric levels of the broader scale surrounding convection subsidence regions.

The typical enhancement of rainfall and updraft motion in deep cumulus and cumulonimbus clouds within heavy raining meso - scale disturbance areas acts to increase the return flow mass subsidence in the surrounding broader clear and partly cloudy regions (Figure 8).

The cloud responses are somewhat sensitive to changes in the large - scale forcing, such as subsidence.

This anomalous ridging has been the proximate cause of California's extraordinary dry spell, as it has directed the primary storm track well northward into Alaska and British Columbia and promoted large - scale atmospheric subsidence (sinking air unfavorable for precipitation and storm activity) further to the south.

Whether the large - scale thermodynamic environment and atmospheric static stability (often measured by Convective Available Potential Energy, CAPE) becomes more favourable for tropical storms depends on how changes in atmospheric circulation, especially subsidence, affect the static stability of the atmosphere, and how the wind shear changes.
