Sentences with phrase «where water droplets»

But when the next cloud is far away, they keep ascending into the layer, up to 4000 metres — above the height where water droplets begin to freeze.

But the team's study suggests that a surface's contact angle — the angle formed where a water droplet meets a solid surface — determines whether ice will grow along or off the surface.

Not exact matches

It is used to keep water droplets and fecal matter within the toilet bowl where it belongs.

As the number of people sickened in an outbreak of Legionnaires» disease in the South Bronx climbed to 71 yesterday, health officials were still piecing together where the illness, a form of pneumonia spread through airborne water droplets, might have originated.

Where the atmosphere has few aerosol particles — over the ocean, for instance — water molecules have fewer particles to condense around, so cloud droplets are large.

Story 3, droplets of water on a plant can focus sunlight to the point where the plant gets burned.

Effects of plasma channels on ice formation or precipitation processes could not be proved in typical storm clouds, where ice crystals and subcooled water droplets coexist.

Astronomers have spotted glowing droplets of condensed water in the distant Spiderweb Galaxy — but not where they expected to find them.

But have too many aerosols and the water vapor is spread out more diffusely to the point where rain droplets don't materialize.

As Cesar Cabrera, first author of the study, explains: «in many aspects, our potassium droplets are very similar to those of water: they have their own size and shape, regardless of where we put them, but they are much colder and their properties are quantum.»

Researchers have long thought that smaller droplets start a chain reaction that leads to bigger, longer - lasting clouds: Instead of raining down, the lighter droplets carry their water higher, where they freeze.

First, they enter the water droplets that form clouds, where they bathe in sunshine and absorb the light energy.

The droplets on the tip of this leaf are the result of guttation, a process where water is pushed up through a plant in the night.

The protein collects in membrane-less organelles, where it may use its low - complexity domain to stick together, much in the way that water collects into droplets on the outside of a cold soda bottle on a humid summer day.

Description: «A 3D physics based puzzle game where the goal is to get the falling water droplets into their containers by using various bumpers, slides, sponges, etc..

When it is low, there will be more cosmic rays stopping in the statosphere, where they form the nuclei of water droplets.

It furthermore ignores the fact that CO2 readily dissolves in water, especially at low temperatures and increased surfaces, such as in the top of clouds where the surface to volume ratio of tiny water droplets is more than 10000 times that at the surface.

Contribution of volcanic eruptions: big volcanic eruptions emit great quantities of SO2 (sulfur dioxide) that form with water vapor sulfate droplets that are lifted by the eruptive column to the stratosphere where they are carried by winds all over the world.

I couldn't see where in the equations the effect of suspended (or teminally falling) water droplets on surface pressure was handled.

The heat pipe analogy is more appropriate to the whole hydrological cycle, the essential energetics of which occur at the surface (the hot evaporating end), in the clouds where the larger water droplets accelerate condensation, and in precipitation, which converts very slowly acquired potential energy back into kinetic and thermal energy very quickly.

One example where modeling the non-classical behavior of water vapor molecules is importan is the ice nucleation on supercooled water droplets.

But in vitro values become, in effect, theoretical calculations when they're applied by GCMs to model vastly greater columns of atmosphere, where cloud droplets and ice crystals, various aerosols and particulates — not to mention highly variable water vapor — appear in situ.
