Sentences with phrase «weather processes»

Meteorology is the scientific study of the atmosphere that focuses on weather processes and forecasting.

This happens through photodegradation and other weathering processes of mismanaged waste such as discarded plastic bags or from unintentional losses such as fishing nets.»

The study has excluded the possibility that the pattern could have been caused by animals or by natural weathering processes and shows that the «zigzag» pattern is the work of Homo erectus.

It will take hundreds of thousands of years for these rock weathering processes to remove our fossil fuel emissions from the atmosphere.»

These far - flung, interconnected weather processes are crucial to making better, longer - term weather predictions than are currently possible.

These two very rare elements allow many valuable conclusions about weathering processes to be drawn.

Particularly lively debates take place on how the concentration of oxygen in the atmosphere evolved; after all, it is associated with many other geological weathering processes, including the fate of uranium.

«If you think being a weather forecaster on Earth is difficult, it can be even more challenging at Titan,» said Scott Edgington, Cassini's deputy project scientist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif. «We know there are weather processes similar to Earth's at work on this strange world, but differences arise due to the presence of unfamiliar liquids like methane.

-- Enhanced weathering processes on land and in the ocean to accelerate natural removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere have only been carried out on a limited scale with intermediate technological readiness.

Global weather processes involving evaporation and condensation and the heat transfers involved in those processes could be sufficient to redistribute and eject from the system the relatively small amount of extra warmth from an enhanced greenhouse effect as fast as it forms.

A short while later, maybe a week or so, the subsequent condensation working with weather processes injects the extra heat energy into a higher level of the atmosphere (often very much higher) from where it can be more rapidly radiated to space.

Le Hir G, Donnadieu Y, Godderis Y, Pierrehumbert RT, Macouin M, Halverson G, Nedelec A, and Ramstein G 2008: The Snowball Earth aftermath: exploring the limits of continental weathering processes.

Troposphere The layer of the atmosphere between the Earth's surface and the tropopause below the stratosphere (i.e., the lowest 10 to 18 km of the atmosphere) where weather processes occur.

NCAR plans more climate simulations that include even finer - scale detail of weather processes.

«Among the possibilities on Venus are a temperature dependent chemical weathering process or heavy metal compound precipitating from the air — a heavy metal frost.»

In fact, this is part of the Earth's natural weathering processes: the main way that Nature re-balances carbon dioxide levels over geologic time spans.

The process of such evaporation and then condensation together with those other weather processes is an express route to get heat energy from ocean to surface to atmosphere to space and the bigger the temperature differential between ocean surface, atmosphere and space the faster they must all work to move the atmosphere back towards a temperature equilibrium.

This may seem like a small number, Torres says, but it upends understanding of the weathering process.

The zig zag pattern, that can only be seen with oblique lighting, is clearly older than the weathering processes on the shell arising from fossilisation.

While these weathering processes will eventually remove the CO2 we are adding to the atmosphere, they act too slowly to help us avoid dangerous climate change.

The average rate of injection of carbon into the climate system during these hyperthermals was slower than the present human - made injection of fossil fuel carbon, yet it was faster than the time scale for removal of carbon from the surface reservoirs via the weathering process [3], [208], which is tens to hundreds of thousands of years.

Breaking from traditional cruise - controls it includes speed limit recognition, terrain detection and weather processing, accelerating and decelerating where required.

When the earth shifted, exposing the sea floor until it eventually became cliffs, the weathering processes of wind and water cut into the relatively softer stone more easily, gouging out deep spaces and leaving ledges of the harder stone between.

The Realclimate theory thus fails and the temperature gradient from the body of the ocean to the top millimetre and then the atmosphere is maintained at or near to the natural level with the extra warmth being ejected from the system by the enhanced evaporation / condensation and weather processes.

That property of water could be enough to enable the weather processes overall to stabilise the whole process and is one of the reasons why oceanic temperature is, always has been and always will be the primary atmospheric temperature driver and will always reduce or possibly neutralise any effect of an enhanced greenhouse effect in the absence of really huge changes caused by astronomic or geological processes.

NCAR plans more climate simulations that include even finer - scale detail of weather processes.

The average rate of injection of carbon into the climate system during these hyperthermals was slower than the present human - made injection of fossil fuel carbon, yet it was faster than the time scale for removal of carbon from the surface reservoirs via the weathering process [3], [208], which is tens to hundreds of thousands of years.

PSD will carry out research on climate and weather processes, diagnostics, modeling, empirical analyses, focused field observations, and supporting technology development.

Finally, other climate and weather processes and «noise» may make the impacts of one event different than another.
