Sentences with phrase «sensible heat effects»

Not sensible heat effects but due to the fact water vapor has a molecular weight of 18 while air is 29.

Not exact matches

These must have an important effect on latent and sensible heat fluxes from the ocean to the atmosphere, and ultimately influence the TOA radiative imbalance and the ocean heat storage.

In addition to stopping the seas from rising we shall undertake to protect protect our children and future generations of unaborted from the effects of climate change by reducing emissions of carbon dioxide and other heat - trapping pollutants and by taking sensible steps to prepare for changes in climate that are no longer avoidable.

For major droughts that last a month or longer, cumulative effects again become important as the absence of moisture means that all heating goes into sensible heating, creating higher temperatures, that in turn desiccate plants, and promote heat waves and wild fires.

For November to be warmer than the long - term average in the troposphere, we would have had to see solar output increase over the measurement period (it has not), or sensible or latent heat to be higher than average (it is not, in fact we ware in a ENSO neutral or cool PDO situation), or we would have to see GH gases having an effect.

Rather than a real effect — the likely cause is reduced latent heat flux and increased sensible heat.

To point out just a couple of things: — oceans warming slower (or cooling slower) than lands on long - time trends is absolutely normal, because water is more difficult both to warm or to cool (I mean, we require both a bigger heat flow and more time); at the contrary, I see as a non-sense theory (made by some serrist, but don't know who) that oceans are storing up heat, and that suddenly they will release such heat as a positive feedback: or the water warms than no heat can be considered ad «stored» (we have no phase change inside oceans, so no latent heat) or oceans begin to release heat but in the same time they have to cool (because they are losing heat); so, I don't feel strange that in last years land temperatures for some series (NCDC and GISS) can be heating up while oceans are slightly cooling, but I feel strange that they are heating up so much to reverse global trend from slightly negative / stable to slightly positive; but, in the end, all this is not an evidence that lands» warming is led by UHI (but, this effect, I would not exclude it from having a small part in temperature trends for some regional area, but just small); both because, as writtend, it is normal to have waters warming slower than lands, and because lands» temperatures are often measured in a not so precise way (despite they continue to give us a global uncertainity in TT values which is barely the instrumental's one)-- but, to point out, HadCRU and MSU of last years (I mean always 2002 - 2006) follow much better waters» temperatures trend; — metropolis and larger cities temperature trends actually show an increase in UHI effect, but I think the sites are few, and the covered area is very small worldwide, so the global effect is very poor (but it still can be sensible for regional effects); but I would not run out a small warming trend for airport measurements due mainly to three things: increasing jet planes traffic, enlarging airports (then more buildings and more asphalt — if you follow motor sports, or simply live in a town / city, you will know how easy they get very warmer than air during day, and how much it can slow night - time cooling) and overall having airports nearer to cities (if not becoming an area inside the city after some decade of hurban growth, e.g. Milan - Linate); — I found no point about UHI in towns and villages; you will tell me they are not large cities; but, in comparison with 20-40-60 years ago when they were «countryside», many small towns and villages have become part of larger hurban areas (at least in Europe and Asia) so examining just larger cities would not be enough in my opinion to get a full view of UHI effect (still remembering that it has a small global effect: we can say many matters are due to UHI instead of GW, maybe even that a small part of measured GW is due to UHI, and that GW measurements are not so precise to make us able to make good analisyses and predictions, but not that GW is due to UHI).

This was to do with one of your critics that was linked to earlier — to the effect that sensible heat on condensation caused an increase in pressure at the cloud base — presumably by the ideal gas law — and therefore pressure increased at the cloud base and your physics were obviously incorrect on first principles.

Condensation has a net warming effect on the then dryer air whereby the energy has been removed from the air as latent heat and converted to sensible heat.

In order for the condensation to count as adiabatic we need to take the warming effect of this conversion of latent heat into sensible heat into account.

An obvious source of divergence is the drought effect of decreased latent and increased sensible heat over the land surface with decreased moisture content.

As ocean heat drives climate far more than tropospheric sensible heat, OHC, with its huge effects on atmospheric circulation and the cryosphere is a much better measure of climate sensitivity.

However, climate mitigation policies do not generally incorporate the effects of these changes in the land surface on the surface albedo, the fluxes of sensible and latent heat to the atmosphere, and the distribution of energy within the climate system.

The reason this warms the surface is most easily understood by starting with a simplified model of a purely radiative greenhouse effect that ignores energy transfer in the atmosphere by convection (sensible heat transport) and by the evaporation and condensation of water vapor (latent heat transport).

It's not computing what the non feedback effect would be if the flux received from the sun stayed at 240 watts, and the surface flux increased from 390 watts in sensible heat and 100 in latent heat to 390 sensible plus 100 latent + 3.7 of some unknown mixture of latent and sensible heat
