Sentences with phrase «set by convection»

Although back radiation is real, it does not play a major role in the greenhouse effect — mostly because of the lapse rate, which is mostly set by convection.

In brief, the temperature profile of the atmosphere is set by convection & latent - heat considerations (= > adiabatic lapse rate); based upon that temperature profile, the radiative transfer processes give rise to the radiative forcing which is the GHE.

Preheat your Breville Smart Oven Pro by setting it to Bake at 350F (convection setting).

By the way, my roasting expertise has to do with having a really good oven that has a convection bake setting and gets really hot (you need at least a true 400 degrees in a regular bake setting).

It is set in motion by the convection caused by the cooling of the core.

UV absorbtion by O3 is irrelevant for this point (as is convection in the troposphere) although it is key in setting the actual temperature profile.

The height of the tropopause is set by ozone in the stratosphere reacting directly with incoming solar energy so as to create a temperature inversion that blocks further upward convection.

In such a scenario convection would stop and the surface would become no warmer than the temperature set by the S - B equation.

However there would then be more conduction, convection and on Earth more evaporation from the surface for an increased upward energy flow which would work to maintain the lapse rate set by sun and pressure.

If CO2 increases there is more cooling at say 250 mbar and less cooling below: such a setting is likely to be erased by convection; and by a slight reduction of the water vapour content of the upper troposphere that will restore the OLR.

This is because the role of convection is basically to set a stability limit on the lapse rate that is given by the appropriate adiabatic lapse rate: Lapse rates higher than the adiabatic lapse rate lead to convection, which lowers the lapse rate back down to the adiabatic lapse rate.

The temperature structure as a function of altitude, i.e. the lapse rate, in the troposphere is set by the considerations discussed regarding adiabatic expansion and compression (basically because a lapse rate higher than the appropriate adiabatic lapse rate for the given water vapor content is unstable and leads to convection until marginal stability is restored).

Created, for example, by taking out the whole of the Water Cycle and taking out rain from the Carbon Cycle and changing the real gases oxygen and nitrogen to ideal to take out heat transfer by convection which transfers heat away from the surface and sets up convection currents which bring cold air back to the surface, winds.
