Sentences with phrase «vertical 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.

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

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.

Not exact matches

Redistribution of heat (such as vertical transport between the surface and the deeper ocean) could cause some surface and atmospheric temperature change that causes some global average warming or cooling.

The ratio ɛ = H / L between vertical extent H of the lower troposphere and the horizontal scale L of the region of precipitation (Fig. 1) enters because of the balance of the horizontal advective heat transport and the vertical fluxes of net radiative influx R and precipitation P.

Stronger vertical mixing invigorates the MOC [Meridonal Overturning Circulation] by an order of magnitude, increases ocean heat transport by 50 — 100 %, reduces the zonal mean equator - to - pole temperature gradients by up to 6 °C, lowers tropical peak terrestrial temperatures by up to 6 °C, and warms high - latitude oceans by up to 10 °C.»

AFAIK the most important source of both vertical heat transport, and pseudo-random unforced variation in vertical heat transport, is vertical mixing driven by mesoscale eddies in the West Pacific.

The vertical transfer of energy is directly proportional to the poleward transport or advection of heat.

Given that they make the bulk of vertical heat transport in the atmosphere, not sure the models are worth more than the expertise of the different groups into building complex subgrid paramterisations, and this is very far from «models implemetning first principles»... I think that at this stage, climatology have more to win from progress in filling experimental database than from progress from modelling.

Hence, the increased overturning supports the notion of an enhanced vertical latent heat transport.
