Sentences with phrase «vertical air velocity»

Certainly any increase in air temperature from radiative forcings (apparently reasonably well modeled in the GCMs) is going to increase the temperature differential from ground to space, which will increase the vertical air velocity (ie increased hurricane strength) and DECREASE the residence time of energy in the air in the same manner that GHGs increase the residence time.

Then, they harnessed the statistical properties of hundreds of simulated clouds to derive relationships between vertical precipitation fluxes and probability density functions for vertical air velocity and condensate loading.

For thirty years, he had taken tens of thousands of measurements of variously shaped surfaces moving at different angles through the air using a «whirling arm,» a long pole that extended horizontally from a fixed vertical pole and spun at a preset velocity, a device originally developed to test the flight of cannonballs.

The vertical velocities represent the magnitudes of the rising and sinking motions in the ITCZ and the descent region, respectively — air generally rises more quickly in the ITCZ than it sinks in the descent region.

Our physical justification for condensation rate S (34) was that (1) it should only depend on vertical velocity and (2) must have total air (rather than dry air) subtracted as the reference because of the hydrostatic adjustment of air as a whole.

This relationship determines that in hydrostatic equilibrium any work — w ∂ pi / ∂ z performed by the vertical partial pressure gradient per unit time per unit atmospheric volume is compensated exactly by the work — wγiρg performed by the force of gravity that acts on a corresponding molar share γi of the air mass (here w is vertical velocity).
