Sentences with phrase «with deep convection»

The link of lightning with deep convection (Price and Rind, 1992) opens up the possibility that this source of NOx would vary with climate change, however, no quantitative evaluation can yet be made.

High - level cloud cover in the tropics with significant optical thickness is predominantly associated with deep convection, and clouds of this nature play the second most important role in accounting for model differences (Webb et al. 2006).

Not exact matches

«This has to do with water vapor, which is the fuel for explosive deep convection in the atmosphere.

The sea surface height map is consistent with active deep convection in the winters of 2015 and 2016.

Presumably, the strong stellar wind emitted by giant stars eventually blows the titanium oxide out of the star's outer regions (along with hydrogen and helium gases and dust made of elements and molecules like carbon) into interstellar space, until vigorous convection brings out more titanium and oxygen that are created from nuclear processes deeper in the star.

Since 5E lessons provide differentiated instruction in their very nature, your students will complete the unit with a deep understanding of: • Earth's Layers • Continental Drift • Thermal Convection • Earth's Plates • Plate Boundaries • Hotspots • Earthquakes • Seafloor spreading ** Your students will also confront and overcome the following misconceptions.

Observations of the humidity in the upper troposphere and its relation with sea surface temperature in areas of deep convection point to an overall positive climate feedback by water vapour in the upper troposphere, which is inconsistent with the Iris effect.

It is important not to confuse the Walker Circulation with the Hadley Circulation (also known as the «Hadley Cell»), which also involves deep convection in the tropics.

Consenquently, the associated SST pattern is slightly cooler in the deep convection upwelling regions of the Equitorial Pacific and the Indian Ocean, strongly cooler in the nearest deep convection source region of the South Atlantic near Africa and the Equator, warm over the bulk of the North Atlantic, strongly warmer where the gulf stream loses the largest portion of its heat near 50N 25W, and strongly cooler near 45N 45W, which turns out to be a back - eddy of the Gulf Stream with increased transport of cold water from the north whenever the Gulf Stream is running quickly.

Located along the Andes Mountains, it is the largest lake in South America and is situated in such a way that mountain breezes tangle with warm lake air to create a perfect storm, so to speak, of storms — an enduring deep convection that results in 297 thunderstorms a year.

For a rough estimate, downwelling water to the deep ocean in convection zones is about 40 Sv (10 ^ 6 m3 / s), assuming that comes in with say 2 deg C, and leaves (through upwelling, isopycnal and diapycnal diffusion), that is a heat flux of 320 TW, thus at least an order of magnitude larger than the geothermal fluxes.

The links between model biases and the underlying assumptions of the shallow cumulus scheme are further diagnosed with the aid of large - eddy simulations and aircraft measurements, and by suppressing the triggering of the deep convection scheme.

A mechanism that can account for the speed with which heat penetrates to such great depths is deep convection caused by vertical density differences.

A heavy storm releases energy pushing the cloud top up to sometimes 20 km in deep convection and downdrafts increase with evaporative cooling with the downward flow converting to horizontal flow.

However, tropical deep convection in a natural state is poorly understood and modeled, with insufficient observational data sets for model constraint.

Warm SSTs in this region, and the enhanced deep convection, have been connected to a standing - wave pattern in the atmosphere from the tropics to higher latitudes in a manner similar to that associated with ENSO, but with roots farther west.

Given that the high - latitude trends are closely associated with the two PSA modes, and that these modes have been linked with ENSO variability (e.g. Mo 2000) and with tropical deep convection (Mo and Higgins 1998), it is natural to hypothesize that the high - latitude trends may be driven by changes in low - latitude SSTs.

It will get colder and deeper as it tries to balance the energy required by the evaporative / boiling process in the Knudsen layer with the energy being supplied from below via convection and conduction.

... And with a general increase in SSTs, I expect certain kinds of low - frequency variability, in particular those in which SST anomalies produce a perturbation wave train in the westerlies allowing for global teleconnections, to be more sensitive to the same SST anomalies, because of the exponential temperature dependence of water vapor concentration (involved in latent heating, enhances deep convection, etc.).

Suppose for the sake of argument that the Atlantic internal variations are uncorrelated with the Indo - pacific, but that the latter, becuase it provides the deepest, most intense convection on average, controls the tropical tropospheric temperatures above the boundary layer (which we think of as being uniform horizontally).

It says nothing about deep - sea temperatures, although it does reference increased warm water and convection (i.e. tropical cyclones) in the Indian Ocean, which might, in turn, be involved with the 0 - 2000 meter trend in the Indian Ocean mentioned above (originally from Bob Tisdale).

TheWeddell Sea polynya is a large opening in the open - ocean sea ice cover associated with intense deep convection in the ocean.
