Dr. Ad Huijser, physicist and former CTO of Philips and director of the Philips Laboratories, describes himself as “amateur climatologist”. However his approach to climate physics is quite professional. Such as testified among else by his previous articles on his website: How does our CO2 escape? The underestimated role of clouds in global warming: an analysis of climate feedback effects in the AGW-hypothesis Pfff…, gelukkig nog maar ongeveer 0,6 °C te gaan ! in DUTCH And the present one: Outside the Black Box: Back to Basics. In my view his present study is killing the dominant role, attributed by many …

Peter Stallinga & Igor Khmelinskii September 29, 2021 Abstract The effects of the Covid-19 pandemic and governmental countermeasures are described in this work by putting it in the framework of the Energy Theory of Value. It is found that the downturn in economy is not accompanied by an equal downturn in energy consumption nor of carbon emissions. Moreover, not even the empirical fifth-power law linking the former two is any longer sustained, more so proving the state of virtualization of our economy (disconnecting it from a physical reality). It is also found that the reduction of carbon emissions had no …

Papakyriakou, Carl Bartels, Feiyue Wang https://doi.org/10.1016/j.marchem.2018.10.003 Highlights • Henry’s Law constant for CO2 was determined in NaCl solutions at temperatures from −1 to −10 °C. • CO2 solubility in cold seawater and sea ice-brines is higher than previously estimated. • Air-sea exchange of CO2 and climate modeling need to revisit the solubility of CO2 at sub-zero temperatures. Abstract The solubility of CO2 in seawater is known to increase at colder temperatures, but few studies have examined the CO2 solubility in seawater and in sea-ice brines …

By BERT BOLIN, University of Stockholm (Manuscript received March 3, 1960) Abstract The physical and chemical processes responsible for exchange of carbon dioxide between the atmosphere and the sea are analyzed. It is shown that the rate of transfer is considerably decreased due to the finite rate of hydration of CO2 in water. This is the case both for a smooth water surface where molecular diffusion plays a ro1e in the first few hundredths of a millimeter as well as for a rough sea where turbulence extends all the way to the surface. A general agreement is found between the …

Peter M. Saunders Published in the Journal of Atmospheric Sciences, May 1967 Abstract A simple theory is presented to account for the difference between the temperature at the ocean-air interface and that of the water at a depth of about one meter.

Evidence of solar 11-year cycle from Sea Surface Temperature (SST). Academia Letters, Article 3023. https://doi.org/10.20935/AL3023. Daniele Mazza, Former faculty, Politecnico di Torino Enrico Canuto, Former faculty, Politecnico di Torino The solar contribution to variation in mean temperatures of the earth during the past has been long debated. The reason for this is evident: a direct sun’s influence on global climate parameters would undoubtedly confirm the primary role of the sun in driving …

Akira Onuki ∗ Department of Physics, Kyoto University, Kyoto 606-8502, Japan (Dated: February 7, 2009) Equilibrium properties of dilute binary fluid mixtures are studied in two-phase states on the basis of a Helmholtz free energy including the gradient free energy. The solute partitioning between gas and liquid (Henry’s law) and the surface tension change ∆γ are discussed. A derivation of the Gibbs law ∆γ = −T Γ is given with Γ being the surface adsorption. Calculated quantities include the derivatives dT c /dX and dp c /dX of the critical temperature and pressure with respect to the solute molar fraction …

Abstract. Accurate assessment of anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and their redistribution among the atmosphere, ocean, and terrestrial biosphere in a changing climate is critical to better understand the global carbon cycle, support the development of climate policies, and project future climate change. Here we describe and synthesize data sets and methodology to quantify the five major components of the global carbon budget and their uncertainties. Fossil CO2 emissions (EFOS) are based on energy statistics and cement production data, while emissions from land-use change (ELUC), mainly deforestation, are based on land-use and land-use change data and bookkeeping models. Atmospheric CO2 …
