Sentences with phrase «times equilibrates»

However, the mixed layer being accessible to turbulent wave mixing with the atmosphere, is essentially in contact with the atmosphere, and over fairly short times equilibrates with it and other parts of the biosphere.

Not exact matches

Many women have different experiences... some having to go above their former weight to get their periods back at first... then equilibrating back down gently over time....

You have to make it time dependent so that it, and the corresponding component of sea level, can equilibrate.

The authors speculate that the main reason hurricanes show this delta is that more of the precipitation is coming from high altitude (depleted in O - 18 based on gravitational potential) and in the form of large drops that do not have time to equilibrate wrt O - 18 in lower regions of the cloud as they fall.

Solar forcing has increased over the 20th century and given that the oceans have not yet had time to equilibrate to the new levels of forcing, it must have contributed some to the recent warming, in fact, that equlibration was further delayed by the cooling period, so the unrealized climate commitment would have been greater than ordinarily expected given that most of the increase in solar activity occurred in the first half of the century.

That layer does not, as IPCC claims, equilibrate on a time scale of a year or any other length of time.

This makes sense because it takes time to equilibrate an excess of CO2 in the atmosphere with the ocean, and the shallow ocean responds faster than intermediate or deep water, so the ratio of the land to marine signals is therefore proportional to the carbon emissions rate.

At 3 sequential times, the temperature of the passive block is equilibrating to equal the temperature of the heat source.

For example, the ocean temperature may have equilibrated by that time.

Jelbring... is supposedly describing thermal equilibrium in a static column of gas that has been sitting around long enough for even radiation to equilibrate, and for non-GHGs that is a very, very long time, much longer than the time required for thermal conductivity to equilibrate temperatures.

He won't acknowledge that in static force equilibrium (after Jelbring's very long time) there is no bulk transport of parcels of gas and hence conductivity has an infinite amount of time to increase the entropy of the gas by equilibrating the temperature.

We know that forcings don't instantaneously result in temperature changes - it takes time for the climate to equilibrate.

That is exactly the same 290 μatm which one would measure for a static system like a flask in a laboratory at the same temperature given sufficient time to equilibrate with the air above the liquid.

Discrepancies in the glacial climate simulations are further amplified by short integration times, as the deep ocean equilibrates on millennial timescales.

Because the chemistry of the ocean equilibrates with that of the atmosphere (on time scales of decades to centuries), methane oxidized to CO2 in the water column will eventually increase the atmospheric CO2 burden (Archer and Buffett, 2005).

(1) 14C injected into the stratosphere did have a long residence time and did equilibrate over a number of years.

Due to the ocean's buffering capacity and the biological pump, as seen in the graph below, the upper ocean can experience upwelling that drives CO2 levels to 3 times higher than what would be expected from equilibrating with the atmosphere.

Ironically, it is exactly because aerosol forcing is so uncertain and because the climate hasn't equilibrated yet that the observed warming since pre-industrial times is only a very weak constraint on climate sensitivity.

The only possible explanation for why the average temperature of the ocean is 4C is because that is the average surface temperature of the earth taken over a period of time long enough for convection and conduction to equilibrate the entire volume.

You said between the lines in # 270: «as you equilibrate», «by the time you get there», all sounds like now you are talking about a transient process, while in # 269 you said «that equilibrium state... happens to absorb more LW than you started with» (which I read as an absorption process related to the state of equilibrium).

The way I interpret that is that the higher climate sensitivity must either involve different heat transfer modes / patterns, or that it involves a different temperature rise path, with more of the increase backloaded (ie if most of the increase for high sensitivity comes after 2070, then there's less time for the oceans to equilibrate than there would be, if most of the temperature increase was done by 2030).

«The second law of thermodynamics is an expression of the tendency that over time, differences in temperature, pressure, and chemical potential equilibrate in an isolated physical system.
