Sentences with phrase «temperature differential»

By preventing any persistent build up of temperature differential between air and water it also prevents any changes in air temperature affecting the temperature of the oceans and thereby changing the air temperature by indirect means.

This develops a higher temperature differential across that gap, resulting in a hotter Earth's surface even though the radiating surface did not change temperature (in a suitably averaged sense).

Even a small change in such a mechanism would dwarf by far any changes from most other sources and it appears that more warmth just accelerates it because of the increased temperature differential between surface and space.

That would vary the different factors that influence the mixing efficiency such as average surface wind velocity changes, regional surface wind velocity changes, sea ice extent, sea ice distribution (as in which pole and which areas), saliniity as well as temperature differentials, basically anything that can influence the THC.

As MIT Emeritus Professor Richard Lindzen has explained, the decline in storminess is a consequence of reduced temperature differentials between the tropics and exo - tropics that arise when global average temperatures are warmer.

If the atmosphere consisted of Oxygen / Nitrogen only, its thermal conductivity would be very low, solar heating would be much the same, and the insulation effect (and the gravitational lapse rate) would produce a substantial temperature differential from the surface to the top of the atmosphere without any radiative absorption.

So a higher temperature differential is the result and this means more hurricanes according to the basic premise that the higher the differntial the more storms etc..

For the heat to be removed from your body you have to establish a substantial temperature differential across the duvet, which is why the inside of the duvet (and you) will feel 20 degrees centigrade warmer than the outside temperature if the duvet is thick enough.

Greenland is most sensitive to volcanic (sulfate) cooling during the dynamically active winter season and along the western ice sheet margin, that is, when the equator - to - pole temperature differential is strongest and owing to the ice sheet topographic and baroclinic effect of planetary wave anchoring, respectively.

However, the saturated adiabatic temperature differential at pressure does not appear trivial.

Conduction and radiation can not do it however big temperature differentials become.

However, due to the comparatively lower temperature of the warm water produced (40oC / 55oC dependant on system), they may need to be sized approximately 25 % larger to compensate for the lower temperature differential, thus allowing convection to occur at maximum efficiency.

Global Warming, or more specifically, Climate Change is not about local temperature differentials or anomalies either.

It is just a delaying effect whereby the surface temperature increases until the increase in surface / space temperature differential in turn increases the rate of radiation to space and a new but higher temperature equilibrium is reached.

Now back to the original issue, to get a surface temperature differential of 32 Deg.

Only in the past two years or so have battery electrodes become efficient enough to convert such low - temperature differentials into electricity, Yang says, and plenty of development remains before the process can be commercialized.

Strong temperature differentials between the stormy area and the region in front of the storm, can cause air to rise quickly, creating lots of friction and charge separation.

Kinetic energy registers as heat but potential energy does not so there will still be cooling with height and vertical temperature differentials will cause a convective circulation to develop so as to prevent an isothermal structure forming.

e) That a warmer ocean surface increases the surface / space temperature differential yet does not give rise to a significant increase in loss of energy to space.

A surefire potential indicator of inferring a possible temperature differential in a column of unhindered air.

We may otherwise be giving back some of the benefits via: leaky chimney dampers; low R value masonry and metal chimneys which penetrate the building envelope (both heating and cooling penalties depending on the season); convective air currents arising from temperature differentials inside large chimneys; metal pipe air intakes which can be quite difficult to insulate, channeling cold into the envelope 24/7 during heating season; backdrafting through leaky woodstove doors; and so forth.

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.

Since the tropical West Pacific is already warmer on average than the East, this trend led to a substantial increase in the west - to - east temperature differential across the Pacific Ocean basin over a 15 year period.

It would seem that an increased energy retention in an H2O phase state modulated system, such as the Earth, can result in greater observed temperature differentials (and more kinetic activity and extrema in general) without necessarily raising the average measured surface temperature all that much, especially in brief geologic time periods (before Oceans fully respond, etc).
