Sentences with phrase «support energy equilibrium»

Not exact matches

This simple radiative example (convective transport is not being allowed) shows that any finite surface temperature Ts can be supported in radiative equilibrium with any arbitrarily cold «upper atmosphere» temperature Tt, by prescribing the appropriate LW opacity TAU for the atmospheric layer, with the energy required to maintain a fixed Ts adjusted accordingly.

These same parcels are large enough to be macroscopically in hydrostatic equilibrium, supported by the well - defined pressure of their neighboring parcels of fluid and at rest, locked in place by the dynamic viscosity so that to move them one has to do work or otherwise input external energy into a parcel to destabilize them, overcoming «friction».
