When sea water evaporates does it carry small amounts of salt into the atmosphere?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Tyra Ellis When water evaporates (one molecule at a time), only pure water returns to the atmosphere. Salt and other impurities are left behind. What happens to the salt when sea water evaporates? When ocean saltwater evaporates, the salt in the water is left in the water. This causes the saltwater to become
What are the major differences between weather models and climate models?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Shane Murphy Essentially, climate models are an extension of weather forecasting. But whereas weather models make predictions over specific areas and short timespans, climate models are broader and analyze long timespans. They predict how average conditions will change in a region over the coming decades. What is the difference between the weather models?
Why is Vladivostock so cold, while Dalian is so warm?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Shane Murphy Why is Vladivostok so cold? With a yearly mean temperature of around 5 °C (41 °F) Vladivostok has a cold climate for its mid-latitude coastal setting. This is due to winds from the vast Eurasian landmass in winter, also cooling the ocean temperatures. How cold does Vladivostok get? The cold season
What are the applications of hydrostatic solvers vs non-hydrostatic solvers in numerical weather prediction?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Madeline Meline What is the difference between hydrostatic and non-hydrostatic? While the hydrostatic model produces vertically-propagating mountain gravity waves, the non-hydrostatic version correctly generates the trapped, horizontally-propagating gravity waves. What is hydrostatic equation in meteorology? ∂z = −gρ. This is the hydrostatic equation. The negative sign ensures that the pressure decreases with increasing
Amount of Earths water with consideration to space travel?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Madeline Meline How much water do you need in space? Each astronaut can use about 4.4 liters of water per day. Most of that is used for drinking or injected into food pouches to rehydrate the content. Only 0.5 liters are used for personal hygiene. How much of Earth’s water is lost to
Puzzle using relative dating principles
Earth ScienceAsked by: Linda Young How do you use relative dating principles? Relative dating is used to arrange geological events, and the rocks they leave behind, in a sequence. The method of reading the order is called stratigraphy (layers of rock are called strata). Relative dating does not provide actual numerical dates for the rocks. What
