Sentences with phrase «via changes in the surface temperature»

(Note: this relies on the earth coming back into radiative balance via changes in surface temperature).

They do this via changes in the surface temperature.

Not exact matches

Understanding how the earth and atmosphere cool to space via radiation is a critical component in understanding surface temperature changes.

The short - term change in surface temperature over the 2000 - 2010 period is a result of ocean heat being exchanged with the atmosphere (via ENSO).

A small localized change in surface temperature can cause a convection burst (thunderstorm) and a large increase in convection height, improving both reflection of incoming solar radiation, and conveying sensible heat to a higher altitude where it can then escape to space via radiative processes with far less interference.

The short and lazy answer to Matthew Marler's question about the column energetics that bring the system back to equilibrium is that GCMs do of course represent evaporation, sensible heating, etc in ways that are undoubtedly imperfect (e.g., via «bulk formulas» that transfer energy down - gradient of temperature or humidity differences between the surface and air aloft), but they are free to evolve in climate change scenarios in ways that are physically self - consistent.
