Sentences with phrase «surface via evaporation»

Not exact matches

Re 346 ziarra — the flow of heat (between adjacent layers of material via conduction, convection, or mass diffusion, or potentially across larger distances via emission and absorption of photons) will be from hot to cold (or from higher to lower concentrations of a substance carrying heat, which might end up being from cold to hot in some conditions, such as a wet surface cooling by evaporation into warm dry air).

1) Can the IR radiated by CO2 to the surface of the ocean that is captured as latent heat and transferred to the TOA via evaporation, be released at different wavelengths??

On a water planet, most heat transferred from the surface is removed via evaporation, the heated air rising via convection.

How much of the energy within the atmosphere is other then radiative, conducted from the surface to convection currents, and or latent heat moved via evaporation?

At the surface, increased pressure from injecting water vapour into a parcel of air via evaporation causes the parcel to rise so that surface pressure below it falls.

The oceans control the background rate of energy flow from ocean to air via The Hot Water Bottle Effect and it is the energy flow from ocean to air (supplemented to a miniscule extent by the greenhouse effect) that drives the rate of evaporation by creating varying temperature differentials between sea surface and air at the surface.

(For the earth system as a whole, the only way it can lose heat is via radiation, although heat can be transferred between different parts of the system, e.g., surface to atmosphere by convection and evaporation / condensation.)

The surface has a loss of energy via convection and evaporation as well.

The short and lazy answer to Matthew Marler's question about the column energetics that bring the system back to equilibrium is that GCMs do of course represent evaporation, sensible heating, etc in ways that are undoubtedly imperfect (e.g., via «bulk formulas» that transfer energy down - gradient of temperature or humidity differences between the surface and air aloft), but they are free to evolve in climate change scenarios in ways that are physically self - consistent.
