Sentences with phrase «transport of heat»

They could not even handle something as fundamental and apparently simple as the vertical transport of heat from one layer to the next.

In the case of water surfaces, the transfer is by convection and may consequently be affected by the horizontal transport of heat within large bodies of water.

The climate and all the weather are the result of the uneven transport of heat through the system.

The low thermal expansion coefficient at the cold temperatures of the high southern latitudes, changes in wind patterns and transport of the heat taken up to lower latitudes are all possible explanations.

Continued operation of the oceanic conveyor belt is important to northern Europe's moderate climate because of northward transport of heat in the Gulf Stream and North Atlantic Current.

This can be a result of heat storage in summer and release in winter; or of transport of heat from warmer locations: a particularly notable example of this is Western Europe, which is heated at least in part by the north atlantic drift.

Temperatures in the neighboring deep ocean are moderated by strong northward transport of heat in the Gulf Stream, which begins to veer eastward before reaching Georges Bank.

The tropospheric lapse rate is maintained mostly by convective transports of heat upwards, in thunderstorms and thunderstorm complexes, including mesoscale disturbances, various waves and tropical storms, while radiative processes serve to cool the troposphere.

The vertical transport of heat by convection tends to minimize the magnitude of dθ / dz..

For Europe specifically, it is estimated that the CO2 flux from land vegetation contributes to reduce the global net flux associated with atmospheric growth of CO2, but the relative magnitude of this sink has been decreasing since the 1990s (from capturing 40 % of the global growth previously, to about 20 % now), likely further to changes in the atmospheric transport of heat and humidity over Europe.

A decrease of between 8 - 33 % is seen in the poleward transport of heat at the doubling of CO2.

6 Climate is caused by many factors including: Trapping of heat by the atmosphere Latitude Transport of heat by winds and ocean currents

Instead, the continued transport of heat from the equatorial trough toward the poles is facilitated by large low - pressure eddies called extratropical cyclones.

Use new and existing observations in combination with modeling experiments to refine our understanding of the present and historical circulation (and related transports of heat and freshwater) in the North and South Atlantic.

Mauritsen said the warming of the upper ocean and the atmosphere during the summer through reduced cooling around Europe results in the stronger transport of heat into the Arctic, which is actually «pristine» in general.

Using 19 climate models, a team of researchers led by Professor Minghua Zhang of the School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences at Stony Brook University, discovered persistent dry and warm biases of simulated climate over the region of the Southern Great Plain in the central U.S. that was caused by poor modeling of atmospheric convective systems — the vertical transport of heat and moisture in the atmosphere.

A key problem in atmospheric modeling is the large separation in horizontal scales between the circulations that contain the bulk of the kinetic energy and dominate the horizontal transport of heat, momentum, and moisture, and the much smaller convective eddies that provide much of the vertical transport, especially in the tropics.

The air is filled with an increasing number of tiny descending droplets in rising air, that release heat at the top of their trajectory and absorb it at the bottom, resulting in a net transport of heat upwards.

Transport of heat by winds and ocean currents

Changes to the transport of heat by the Earth's atmosphere and oceans to the poles have also been suggested as a possible contributor to the steep rise in Arctic temperatures.

The transport of heat in amorphous silicon is determined by the behavior of phonons in the material.

Results indicated that studying multiscale turbulence will be essential to understanding how to deal with the multiscale effect on the transport of heat, particles and momentum in next - generation tokamaks, or fusion devices, Grierson noted.

After flowing to the cooler face in a wind, it will then tend to recombine into neutral atoms, and thus will enhance the transport of heat.

``... it is true that transport of heat to deeper layers my be a part of the signal (MOC shutdown), but in my opinion, the magnitude and speed of the cooling are too large to be entirely explained this way.
