Sentences with phrase «then more evaporation»

So if the basic conditions remain the same and more energy is added then more evaporation will be «provoked» and the basic conditions on Earth dictate that for a unit of extra energy provoking that additional evaporation the amount of energy required in latent form will be greater for a net cooling effect in the local evironment.

If evaporation contributes only a portion of the cooling of that 1 mm layer (some or even most being attributable to conduction and radiation) then more evaporation would still cause even more cooling of that layer and would still be a mechanism for maintaining or increasing the energy flow to the air rather than decreasing it.

If that cooler 1 mm layer is indeed caused by evaporation drawing energy away upwards then more evaporation should logically cause more cooling of the ocean bulk not less.

Not exact matches

Consequently, if there is more rainfall [due to greater evaporation] where there is already a lot of rainfall, then the effect that rainfall has on the circulation will be increased.

The kinetic energy from the falling rain that occurs after condensation then feeds the circular winds that in turn draw more heat from evaporation etc. so as to form a positive feedback loop.

If any of these clouds are formed when the air has more moisture as a result of evaporation, and CO2 forcing causes more evaporation, then that is a channel of negative feedback.

LIA wasn't GLOBAL cooling; but colder in Europe, north America — because Arctic ocean had less ice cover - > was releasing more heat / was accumulating - > radiating + spreading more coldness — currents were taking that extra coldness to Mexican gulf — then to the Mediterranean — because Sahara was increasing creation of dry heat and evaporating extra water in the Mediterranean — to top up the deficit — gulf stream was faster / that was melting more ice on arctic also as chain reaction — Because Mediterranean doesn't have enough tributaries, to compensate for the evaporation deficit.

Note 1: A simple hotspot explanation summarized from this article: Increasing CO2 levels causes atmosphere to warm; then atmosphere causes Earth's surface to warm; warming of oceans cause evaporation; increased evaporation leads to more water vapor in the upper troposphere; water vapor is a powerful greenhouse gas that warms the atmosphere even more (positive water vapor feedback); the Earth's surface warms even more; and then auto «repeat and rinse» until Earth's oceans boil, per an «expert.»

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.

He had already been warned on this thread that when I had earlier answered a legitimate question from a commenter far more polite and sensible than he, I had replied with a straightforward account of how Professor Lindzen, in a talk that he had given under my chairmanship at the Houses of Parliament, had calculated that if the increase in evaporation from the Earth's surface with warming was thrice that which the models predicted then climate sensitivity was one - third of that which the models predicted.

If the energy required for the extra evaporation does all or mostly come from the water then as I have explained it has the potential to more than offset the expected reduction in energy flow that would otherwise be caused by a warmer topmost few microns according to Fourier's Law.

Yet more DLR means more evaporation and you then try to say that the flow from the ocean slows down.

What happens is that every IR photon brings forward the timing of evaporation and the evaporation then requires more energy than the photon provided for a net cooling effect on the local environment.

* When it's warmer, the evaporation of water speeds up, allowing the ground to heat up faster, which then evaporates more water in a vicious cycle which continues until meaningful rain stops it.

The initial melting does take more energy from the air than is lost in evaporation but that energy then becomes latent energy in the water and so the air is cooled but the remaining ice is not cooled.

However if those bursts of heat were to become more frequent or more intense then in order for the rate of evaporation to increase from the surface to counteract it, the kinetic energy of the water molecules (i.e. the water's temperature) would need to increase.

Under some special conditions evaporation might increase, but then sensible heat transfer must be reduced even more.
