Surface mean

Similarly, the diameter of average surface area (mean surface area diameter), assuming sphericity, can be expressed as in equation 3 and is used when the surface behavior of the particle system is of importance. 

The mobile phase was water in which the moderator alcohols were dissolved. It is seen that the linear relationship is completely validated and the data can provide the adsorption isotherms in the manner discussed. The mean surface area was found to be 199 m /g with a standard deviation between the different alcohols of 11 m /g. 

The thermal parameters for comfort should be relatively uniform both spatially and temporally. Variations in heat flow from the body make the physiological temperature regulation more difficult. Nonuniform thermal conditions can lead to nonuniform skin temperatures. The active elements of the regulatory system may need to make more adjustments and work harder in order to keep thermal skin and body temperatures stable. To avoid discomfort from environmental nonuniformities, the temperature difference between feet and head should be less than about 3 °C (Fig. 5.9) and the mean surface temperature or radiant difference from one side of the body to the other should not he greater then about 10 °C. 

These factors compensate for the relationship between the inside air and mean surface temperature and provide similar comfort conditions at...

The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon whereby the earth s atmosphere is more transparent to solar radiation than terrestrial infixed radiation (emitted by the earth s surface and atmosphere). Consequently, the planet s mean surface temperature is about 33 K higher than the planet s radiative equilibrium temperature (the temperature at which the earth comes into equilibrium with the energy received from the sun).

Bars on the right show the possible range of temperature increases from different AOGCM, and also from Simple Climate Models (SCM) and Earth Models of Intermediate Complexity (EMIC).

The theoretical surface density of oxygen ions was evaluated by Madier el al. for different crystallographic planes of Ce02 and Ce Zr Oj oxides [14], For ceria, the theoretical O density would be of 13.7, 9.7 and 15.8at.Onm 2 for (100), (110) and (111) surfaces respectively, which gives a mean surface density of 13.1 at.O nm 2 if one assumes an equidistribution of the three crystallographic planes. This figure leads to a theoretical OSC of 5.4 p,mol O m-2. The hypothesis of equidistribution may be not valid in all cases, which can explain some difference in the reported results. Note that the (111) surface is thermodynamically the most stable [34,35],...

Recently, sulphur has also been found on the surface of Mars it was probably deposited from the atmosphere and originated in volcanic activity. Sulphur was also found in meteorites which probably originated on Mars (Farquhar et al., 2000). The mean surface temperature is 210 K (at night 150 K and during the day 270 K). 

For DDE predicted surface ocean concentrations are overestimated in the Gulf of Alaska, the Bering Sea, the Chukchi Sea, and the North Atlantic. In all of these regions also the atmospheric concentration was overestimated. This indicates that the strong overestimation in these regions is caused by enhanced deposition from the atmosphere, and amplified by low volatilisation due to low mean surface temperatures. Also in the East China Sea and in the Gulf of Mexico modelled surface... 

The calculated surface temperature of the Earth can be compared with a mean surface temperature of 288 K. The difference in these temperatures is attributed to global warming mechanisms in the atmosphere. Similar calculations can be performed for any object at any distance from a star of known temperature. The calculations for the other objects in the solar system are presented for the other planets in Table 7.2. 

As the planet acquires a volatile molecule inventory it begins to develop an atmosphere, and in the case of the Earth this also includes the extensive circulation of water in the hydrosphere. The weight of the volatiles trapped in the atmosphere of a planet leads to a mean surface pressure, po, given by ...

Such sign changes in the orbital are analogous, e.g., to water-wave displacements above or below the mean surface level. The overall sign of the orbital may be reversed without physical effect, so only sign differences within the orbital are significant. 

Figure 1 presents the model. Precipitation rates are 9000 km3 between atmosphere and continental interior (Cl), 110000 km3 between atmosphere and continental margins (CM), and 458000 km3 between atmosphere and oceans. Mean DIC for global precipitation is 81.59 (xmol/l. Thus, the atmospheric C02 sink is 0.0044, 0.054, and 0.22 Pg C/a, respectively (Fig. 1). Annual global Cl RO and CM RO are 2000 and 44800 km3, respectively (Baumgartner Reichel 1975 Shiklomanov 1993). Using global mean soil pC02 of 6393 ppmv and global mean surface temperature of 15°C, the equilibrium values of DIC are 300 and 3640 amol/l for the non-carbonate and carbonate terranes, respectively. Thus, C02 sinks by Cl and CM RO are 0.013 and 0.28 Pg C/a, respectively.
