This chapter discusses the heat balance of the Earth's atmosphere and the meridional and vertical transfer of energy. The difference between the radiations absorbed and emitted by the atmosphere, in combination
FROM the values of the mean thermal conductivity and temperature gradient observed over the surface of the Earth we deduce the net loss of heat by conduction (the geothermal flux). To suppose that this loss represents the only sink in the heat balance of the Earth is to accept a very ...
A modified Bowen ratio (BRm), the sign of which is determined by the direction of the surface sensible heat flux, was used to represent the major divisions in climate across the globe, and the usefulness of this approach was evaluated. Five reanalysis datasets and the results of an offline ...
摘要: The most intense glacier action of the later age in China took place in the region of the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau where the permanent frozen soil prevails. With the view of studying the thermal conditions regarding the formation, growth and关键词:...
Changing vegetation cover alters the radiative and non-radiative properties of the surface. The result of competing biophysical processes on Earth’s surface energy balance varies spatially and seasonally, and can lead to warming or cooling depending on
this theoretical difficulty is to assume a delay of thousands of years while the solar effects overcome the inertia (惯性) of the earth’s climate. If this is right, the warming effect of carbon dioxide might thus be serving as a useful counter-balance to the sun’s diminishing heat....
【Abstract】In this study, polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) is used to optimize the core–shell V@C precursor structure, and the precursor is heat-treated to obtain vanadium nitride (VN) up to the National Standard VN16 grade of China. The addition of PVP promotes both the uniform dispersion of...
The earth’s temperature is rapidly changing. As a result there has been a lot of climate change such as heat waves, droughts and floods. Scientists believe that this is the result of human activity, which is polluting the Earth’s atmosphere. This could become a disaster if governments do...
Formation of a sea ice cover produces profound changes in the state of the atmosphere and ocean, primarily by altering the surface heat exchange. The high albedo of the ice and its insulation of the atmosphere from the underlying water give rise to a climate over the polar oceans that is mo...
The bolometric temperature, by integrating the full spectrum, is more directly related to the heat balance of the surface. However, the anisothermality in the individual Diviner channels provides information about surface roughness (Bandfield et al., 2015) and heterogeneities in thermophysical ...
