Sentences with phrase «with volcanic systems»

Today, volcanoes rarely make the news in the United States, even though the western half of the country is dotted with volcanic systems that could unleash eruptions many times more powerful than the Mount St. Helens disaster.

Not exact matches

The current unrest is consistent with a reactivation of the magmatic system after 412 years and, hence, with an increase in the threat from volcanic activity to the caldera's population of almost 360,000 people, as well as to the three million residents of Naples immediately outside its eastern margin.

Pockmarked with sulphurous pits, bathed in intense radiation and shaken by constant volcanic eruptions, Io is the fiery hell of the solar system

Liverpool volcanologist, Dr Janine Kavanagh, who heads up the University's specialist MAGMA laboratory, said «For the first time, using innovative laboratory experiments that combined our knowledge of volcanic plumbing systems with engineering expertise, we have managed to see how magma flows through Earth's crust to the surface through dykes.

This illustration shows Io, the most volcanically active object in the solar system, reconstituting its atmosphere with volcanic plumes.

This allows the researchers to use desert dust as an analogue for volcanic ash to test their system when they don't have a volcanic ash cloud to work with.

During the 2000 - 2001 school year, Jason XII will explore Hawaii and compare volcanic events on Earth with those throughout the solar system.

The massive Death Cloud from the Yellowstone explosion sends volcanic ash into the jet stream, which then begins to carry the heavy ash south across Wyoming, over Denver until it catches up with a low pressure system advancing across Texas.

There may be reason to strongly suspect that in any sufficiently complicated dynamical system model (such as climate) with stochastic parameters (e.g., exactly when and where a lightning strike starts a major wildfire or a major submarine earthquake perturbs ocean circulation in a region or a major volcanic eruption introduces stratospheric aerosols), it is almost certain that any given run of the model will have periods of significant deviation from the mean of multiple runs.

The computer models deal with the actual energy and matter flows within, and in and out of the system, and do not account for random geological or cosmological events, such as volcanic eruptions or asteroid impacts, solar disturbances, etc..

That is because there is some internal variability in temperature, because volcanic temperature responses are not commensurate with instaneous volcanic forcings due to thermal inertia, and because earlier forcings will have more fully worked through the system than will have later forcings.

For instance, the warming that began in the early 20th century (1925 - 1944) is consistent with natural variability of the climate system (including a generalized lack of significant volcanic activity, which has a cooling effect), solar forcing, and initial forcing from greenhouse gases.

We have experienced a regime change... from nature's total failure to cool a system dominates by AGW... with everything it had short of a volcanic eruption... to nature joining hands with AGW and warming the crap out of this place.

The models currently assume a generally static global energy budget with relatively little internal system variability so that measurable changes in the various input and output components can only occur from external forcing agents such as changes in the CO2 content of the air caused by human emissions or perhaps temporary after effects from volcanic eruptions, meteorite strikes or significant changes in solar power output.

The literature since the AR4, and the availability of more simulations of the last millennium with more complete forcing, including solar, volcanic and greenhouse gas influences, and generally also land use change and orbital forcing) and more sophisticated models, to a much larger extent coupled climate or coupled earth system models, some of them with interactive carbon cycle, strengthens these conclusions.

In the absence of large negative volcanic forcing on the climate system (which can not presently be forecast), it is predicted that the global mean temperature for the decade 2000 — 09 will lie above the 1970 — 99 normal with a probability of 0.94.

In all of these simple models, we assume the atmosphere to have a volume as fixed as a bathtub, we assume that the atmosphere / ocean system is a closed system, we assume that the incoming radiation from the Sun is constant, we assume no turbulence, we assume no viscosity, we assume radiative equilibrium with no feedback lag, we take no account of water vapor flux assuming it to be constant, no change in albedo from changes in land use, glacier lengthening and shortening, no volcanic eruptions, no feedbacks from vegetation.

With f anthropic (t) or f volcanic (t) or f T (t) the steady state is disturbed and that will influence both f out - gassed (t) and f absorbed (t) and thus dCO2 / dt, where the whole system tries to restore the dynamical equilibrium.

The catch is the degree of magnitude change and duration of time of the solar variations must reach certain LEVELS in order to overcome the inherent negative feedbacks in earth's climatic system, along with natural earth bound random climate events (examples enso, volcanic activity).

As they stand at present the models assume a generally static global energy budget with relatively little internal system variability so that measurable changes in the various input and output components can only occur from external forcing agents such as changes in the CO2 content of the air caused by human emissions or perhaps temporary after effects from volcanic eruptions, meteorite strikes or significant changes in solar power output.

Thus, the losses you will be reimbursed for with a Broad Coverage policy may result from the following reasons: sudden and accidental tearing, cracking, burning, or bulging of a steam or hot water heating system; accidental discharge from a plumbing, heating, air conditioning or sprinkler system or household appliance; freezing of a plumbing, heating, air conditioning or sprinkler system or a household appliance; sudden and accidental damage from artificially generated electricity; falling objects; weight of ice, snow, or sleet, and volcanic eruption.
