Sentences with phrase «system equilibrium temperature»

As I will now explain, that is important because the combination of expansion and increased height enables the atmosphere to accommodate more GHGs without altering system equilibrium temperature.

The current impasse in climate science has arisen because AGW proponents say that simply altering the radiative characteristics of constituent molecules within the atmosphere can result in a change in system equilibrium temperature without any need for an increase in mass, gravity or insolation.

Not exact matches

Setting each of the qubits in its own heat bath, each at a different temperature, throws the system out of equilibrium.

The idea of climate inertia is that when you increase the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere it takes the climate system a good deal of time for all its components to fully adjust and reach a new equilibrium temperature.

One common measure of climate sensitivity is the amount by which global mean surface temperature would change once the system has settled into a new equilibrium following a doubling of the pre-industrial CO2 concentration.

It is the downwelling that reduces the rate at which energy is leaves the climate system until the temperature of the system rises enough that the rate at which energy enters the system equals the rate at which energy leaves the system — and a new equilibrium is established.

You have to look at how the added ghgs — both CO2 and H2O respond to the altered IR spectrum and how all of the feedbacks and temperature evolve as the system moves again toward equilibrium.

As atmospheric temperatures increase, therefore, heat transfer into the oceans increases as the system tends towards a new equilibrium temperature.

The approximately 20 - year lag (between atmospheric CO2 concentration change and reaching equilibrium temperature) is an emerging property (just like sensitivity) of the global climate system in the GCM models used in the paper I linked to above, if I understood it correctly.

Formally, this equilibrium is the temperature at which the entropy of the system + surroundings is a maximum: -LRB-.

Now, should the reduced concentration persist, more energy will continue to accumulate in the system until a new, higher equilibrium temperature is reached (the equilibrium response).

One common measure of climate sensitivity is the amount by which global mean surface temperature would change once the system has settled into a new equilibrium following a doubling of the pre-industrial CO2 concentration.

By focusing soley on the equilibrium climate sensitivity, the authors do miss a lot of features important to people about the overall climate system — for example, what's the equilibrium sensitivity of the carbon cycle to the temperature change brought about by 2X CO2?

If less energy is radiated into space because of greenhouse gases, the Earth's temperature must rise until the emission of infrared increases enough that the system returns to equilibrium.

As such, when emissions quit rising, according to their framework, the climate system is no longer being forced, but the temperature will continue to rise and it will still take a considerable amount of time for the system to reach equilibrium.

When we stop raising the level of carbon dioxide, the temperature continues to rise because it takes a while for the climate system to reach equilibrium.

EOD makes no difference to equilibrium temperature it only makes a difference in the speed at which the system moves towards equilibrium.

One thing to remember is that the «equilibrium» temperature of the Earth is roughly 15,700,000 K. I arrived at this number using climate science physics, one simply calculates the «equilibrium» position of the planet Earth, and one finds that it should be in the center of the solar system, not orbiting it, and as we all know there is a star at the center with an average internal temperature of 15,700,000 K

(Well, also that the concept of temperature of a system which is not in equilibrium is a messy one and does not equate to total energy of the system)

In my earlier posting, I tried to make the distinction that global climate change (all that is changing in the climate system) can be separated into: (1) the global warming component that is driven primarily by the increase in greenhouse gases, and (2) the natural (externally unforced) variability of the climate system consisting of temperature fluctuations about an equilibrium reference point, which therefore do not contribute to the long - term trend.

The only things that can change that resultant point of temperature equilibrium significantly are changes in solar radiance coming in and changes in overall atmospheric density (a function of mass and pressure) which affect the radiant energy going out or a change in the speed of the water cycle which, because of the unique characteristics of the phase changes of water altering the speed of energy flow through the system is capable of exerting a powerful regulatory effect.

As long as the AAL is a closed loop and kept independent of the Solar Diabatic Loop (SDL) then system equilibrium is maintained however high the surface temperature might rise.

Only the thing of it is that summer afternoon and winter nights are actual states that the system pass through, annually, and to pretend that the system sits on some «mean» is like suggesting that your car engines pistons are in equilibrium with radiator temperature.

If the net effect of more GHGs is actually system cooling then the reverse scenario would apply, still with no change in equilibrium temperature.

So, on those grounds, more GHGs could not affect equilibrium temperature because they provoke an equal and opposite system response to any effect they might have on the transfer of energy through the planetary system.

The Second Law (with this condition quoted from Wiki) «Thermodynamic equilibrium has the greatest entropy amongst the states accessible to the system» is exactly what I talk about in the 4 page Appendix of «Planetary Surface Temperatures.

Note that some authors have different definitions for the dissipation function, such as T with T the local temperature field, or T0 with T0 the temperature of the environment or the temperature the system would acquire if it is in thermodynamic equilibrium with the environment The different usages of the word» dissipation function» sometimes causes confusion... yep at this case nobody have the right or wrong weather previsions good chance

As for equilibrium, the system is never at equilibrium, but the incoming energy level is fairly constant, so the system should remain within a given temperature range, given the negative feedbacks operating during any excursions.

Stefan You say global warming is «not possible», because the atmosphere will expand, release the extra heat, and the system return to the previous equilibrium temperature.

So, a system at Local Thermodynamic Equilibrium doesn't change temperature.

Modulations on the 11 year solar cycle are damped, leaving only 10 or 20 % of the temperature variations that would have been seen if the system could have reached equilibrium.

The concentration of CO2 (g) and of Ca2 + (aq) will in the equilibrium Earth system also be buffered by the presence of CaCO3, at a given temperature.

For these conditions, when radiation - rate - equilibrium is reached for the «two - shell system» (i.e., when the rate of energy being radiated outward by the outer shell equals the rate of energy being generated in the wall of the inner shell, I believe the presence of body «A» will affect the temperature of the external surface of the inner shell.

A comparison of the radiative equilibrium temperatures with the observed temperatures has indicated the extent to which the other atmospheric processes, such as convection, large - scale circulation, and condensation processes, influence the thermal energy balance of the system.

Technically, temperature is only rigorously defined for a system in thermodynamic equilibrium.

Try, really try, to address just Jelbring's imaginary world, perfectly insulated above and below, ideal gas in between, near - Earth gravity, infinite time for the system to reach true thermodynamic equilibrium (or long enough for a non-GHG to reach thermal equilibrium through radiation, which is going to be a hell of a lot longer than its thermal relaxation through conductivity for a gas on average 200 - 300K in temperature at 1 g).

By any mechanism you like — this isn't about mechanism, this is about conservation of flow — the temperature of the rest of the system must increase enough to drive up the flow in the unblocked part of the garden hose until dynamic equilibrium is once again reached.

It's going to be difficult for Jelbring to defend the conclusion that «temperatures vary in a system in thermal equilibrium» and not contradict the axiomatic statement of the zeroth law.

In the case where the gravitational scale height is (as usual) much larger than the mean free path and the characteristic length of secular changes in temperature (which goes to zero as the system approaches thermal equilibrium, which this paper does not study) the paper itself clearly states in the introduction that the usual symmetric Fourier law holds.

In isothermal equilibrium, the system is in perfect force balance, there is no net dynamical transport of mass up or down, no net change whatsoever of gravitational potential energy — but heat conduction still functions to maintain equal temperature and restore equilibrium after a perturbation.

Eventually the system will come back to thermal equilibrium at a much lower temperature.

2) If minor changes in the air attempt to make the air temperature alone diverge from that equilibrium then the weather systems change to modify the energy flow and in due course restore the surface air temperature to match the sea surface temperature set by the oceans.

If I wait long enough so that the top and bottom systems are each in equilibrium with the center section, then the 0th law says clearly that the top and bottom sections are each the same temperature as the center section.

Asserting that a thermal equilibrium exists in some straightforward, isolated, thermally connected system that has sat around for many thermal relaxation times that has a macroscopic distribution of local temperatures isn't trivial.

But I would agree that: «The temperature is the same throughout because the system is in equilibrium.»

Any such system would quickly reach thermal equilibrium — one where the top and bottom of the gas are at an equal temperature.

If a supposed equilibrium distribution of temperature in an isolated system is capable of doing work, it is neither an equilibrium distribution nor is the system at maximum entropy.

This is an example of a system that is both in thermodynamic equilibrium and possesses a gradient in temperature.

The equilibrium temperature without energy inputs from the Sun would be the background temperature of the solar system and isothermal is of course a change in the system without a temperature change.
