Not exact matches

There are more, however, including the amount of sunlight an ice sheet is able to reflect; the larger an ice sheet, the more sunlight is reflected, but the smaller an ice sheet, the more ocean there is surrounding the ice sheet to absorb the sunlight which in turn heats up the surrounding waters increasing the melt which decreases the size of the ice sheet which in turn... and so goes the cycle.

Away from the dense network of heat absorbing (daytime) then heat radiating (nighttime) structures which is the Urban Heat Island and above the air with high water vapor content trapped by the valley along the river, not to mention the pall of coal dust over the city, morning low temps were much more like what the natural countryside would experieheat absorbing (daytime) then heat radiating (nighttime) structures which is the Urban Heat Island and above the air with high water vapor content trapped by the valley along the river, not to mention the pall of coal dust over the city, morning low temps were much more like what the natural countryside would experieheat radiating (nighttime) structures which is the Urban Heat Island and above the air with high water vapor content trapped by the valley along the river, not to mention the pall of coal dust over the city, morning low temps were much more like what the natural countryside would experieHeat Island and above the air with high water vapor content trapped by the valley along the river, not to mention the pall of coal dust over the city, morning low temps were much more like what the natural countryside would experience.

Linsley: I think this shows we need to focus some more attention on the places in the northern and southern hemispheres where the deep ocean is talking to the atmosphere and absorbing this heat and I think we need to spend some more time to understand how that water makes its way towards the Equator.

• Water vapor in the troposphere increases with warming and in turn «absorbs more heat and further raises the Earth's temperature,» McPherson reports.

When ice melts it reveals darker Arctic Ocean water, which in turn absorbs more heat from the sun, further heating the region.

The open water absorbs more and more heat during the extended daylight of the summer months until winter comes again, when the Arctic Sea freezes.

With less sea ice, the refrigerator door is left open - darker open water is exposed, which readily absorbs the Sun's energy in summer, heating the ocean and leading to even more melt.

High UV / particle radiation = reduction in plankton = clear water = deeper penetration, more heat absorbed further down and retained = warming, reverse holds true.

Note, for example, how the temperature trend in the first decade of the 21st century was generally flat because an upward push by anthropogenic forces was temporarily offset by a downward pull as solar activity decreased and the oceans absorbed more heat than usual from the atmosphere (sea water temperatures continued to rise).»

For example, the scientific explanation that temperatures have not risen since 2001 is because an «upward push by anthropogenic forces was temporarily offset by a downward pull as solar activity decreased and the oceans absorbed more heat than usual from the atmosphere (sea water temperatures continued to rise)».

Perhaps some gross thermomechanical process of restructuring the climate mechanisms (some small fraction of these were identified in the Stadium Wave paper, for instance) is ongoing, and the energy of restructuring — melting, subliming and carrying away Arctic sea ice and Greenland and Antarctic land ice net to the atmosphere, higher humidity absorbing gross water amounts to a level impacting sea level rise on the millimeter or sub-millimeter level, expansion of land due heat, or more likely erosion, silting and subsidence, and so on — is responsible for a Black Swan.

The darkness of land and water compared with the reflectiveness of snow and ice means that when the latter melt to reveal the former, the area exposed absorbs more heat from the sun and reflects less of it back into space.

This can also be a borehole system usually over a 100m deep and usually two or three or more borehole probes are inserted into these wells and absorb the energy in the ground transferring it via the heat pump into the home for use in heating and domestic hot water.

That unusual extreme warming is called Arctic Amplification that CO2 driven models suggest is the result of absorbing more heat because lost sea ice allows darker ocean waters to absorb more heat.

As obvious on figures 6 - A and 6 - B, Ttop and Ptop are determined by the water vapour that radiates over some 1900 cm - 1 much more than the 40 cm - 1 of the tropospheric CO2 near 614 cm - 1 and 718 cm - 1.; stratospheric radiation to the cosmos is not very important because the cooling of each layer is exactly equal to its heating mostly by UV absorbed by Ozone.

Now bare water is exposed to the sun's rays, and absorbs more light than did the previous ice cover; so the planet heats up a little more.

Around the core is uranium that will absorb neutrons and breed plutonium Heats up sodium that transfers heat to a second sodium loop that then heats up water to make steam Can produce 20 % more fuel than it Heats up sodium that transfers heat to a second sodium loop that then heats up water to make steam Can produce 20 % more fuel than it heats up water to make steam Can produce 20 % more fuel than it uses.

Not only will melting Arctic sea ice raise global sea levels, it will also allow the earth to absorb more heat from the sun because ice reflects the sun's rays while blue open water absorbs it.

More likely the oceans on our 70 % water covered world, which absorb heat energy from the sun (for which we have some data), and geothermal energy (for which we have virtually no data), and release it over long periods of time by poorly understood mechanisms that are possibly the real driving force behind climate.

The melting of glaciers such as Jakobshavn Isbræ has also begun to expose rock, soil, and ocean waters, which in turn causes further melting, because darker surfaces absorb more heat.

As the area warms in response to manmade greenhouse gases, melting ice and snow allow exposed land and water to absorb more of the Sun's heat, which melts more ice and snow, and so on.

An example of a feedback loop is when melting ice turns to water, absorbs more sunlight because water is darker than ice, heats up, and causes more melting.

The larger expanses of open water absorb more solar energy, and before ice can form again, that heat must be released back to the atmosphere.

Whether there is 0.03 % or 0.04 % of CO2 in the atmosphere only influences how often the photons get absorbed and re-radiated on their way to space — an increase in CO2 delays the process a little but does not change it fundamentally and * Does * * Not * * Trap * * Heat * any more than a sieve traps water.

As I understand AGW, the theory goes that added CO2 combines with an energy photon (ie the greenhouse effect) to warm the world, & heat the air which results in more water vapor which absorbs more photons which results in Man caused warming feedback.

Doesn't that then mean that there are no more photons to be absorbed by the added water vapor produced as a result of the added heat from the CO2 associated warming?

As the ice on the surface of the Arctic Ocean melts away, there is a smaller area of white ice to reflect the Sun's heat back into space and more open, dark water to absorb it.
