Sentences with phrase «with changes in atmospheric pressure»
Not exact matches
A measure of the difference in sea level pressure between the western (e.g., Darwin, Australia) and central / eastern (e.g., Tahiti) equatorial Pacific, representative of the east - west changes in atmospheric circulation associated with the El Nino / Southern Oscillation phenomenon.

«West Coast sea surface and coastal air temperatures evolved in lockstep with changing patterns of atmospheric pressure and winds.»
Therefore, the August - Roche - Magnus equation implies that saturation water vapor pressure changes approximately exponentially with temperature under typical atmospheric conditions, and hence the water - holding capacity of the atmosphere increases by about 7 % for every 1 °C rise in temperature.
But, just in case you were semi-serious: With oceans covering 70 % of the earth's surface, you could never change atmospheric humidity — water vapor pressure is a function of atmospheric temperature, increasing as temperature rises.
Dynamical effects arising from changes in atmospheric pressure also play a role in distributing meltwater, as do geostrophic ocean currents that flow along the lines where pressure gradients are counterbalanced by the Coriolis effect associated with the Earth's rotation.
The seasonal climate may relate to changes in the ocean circulation pattern prior to 4.6 Ma that resulted in an increased temperature and atmospheric pressure gradient between the east coast of North America and the Atlantic Ocean, but this climate phase seems to be only a temporary condition, as underlying and overlying sediment are both consistent with drier conditions.
The physics that must be included to investigate the moist greenhouse is principally: (i) accurate radiation incorporating the spectral variation of gaseous absorption in both the solar radiation and thermal emission spectral regions, (ii) atmospheric dynamics and convection with no specifications favouring artificial atmospheric boundaries, such as between a troposphere and stratosphere, (iii) realistic water vapour physics, including its effect on atmospheric mass and surface pressure, and (iv) cloud properties that respond realistically to climate change.
