Sentence examples for sheet mass from inspiring English sources

Thus, the NEEM ice core record suggests both that temperatures may have been warmer than once thought, and and that the ice sheet mass loss was unlikely to have been >2 m of sea level.

The research was undertaken as part of the Ice Sheet Mass Balance Inter-comparison Exercise (IMBIE).

Thermal conductivity was calculated from the measured thermal diffusivity, specific heat, and sheet mass density.

Stiffness of veneer sheets (MOEV) was calculated from sheet mass (m), sheet width (w), length (l), thickness (t), and veneer acoustic velocity, v, determined from the inverse of the mean transit time reading (Equation 2).

Full veneer sheets (with dry target sizes of 2.59 m in length, 1.32 m in width, and 3.8 mm in thickness) and half-sheets (0.66 m wide) were individually weighed and measured after drying (sheets equilibrated to approximately 10% moisture content), and density calculated for each sheet from the sheet mass divided by the product of length x width x thickness.

Changes in glacier flow therefore have a significant, if not dominant impact on ice sheet mass balance.

GRACE has been a phenomenal success for climate science since its 2002 launch despite skepticism from ice scientists about how well the new technique would work to measure ice sheet masses.

We can compute the "equivalent" mass-induced ∆LOD, because the long-term variation is mainly related to the PGR-poster glacial rebound and melting of the glaciers and ice-sheets mass change (Cheng et al. 2013).

The finding, which was reported two weeks ago in the online version of Science, is particularly ominous, because climatologists had expected that even as the ice sheet lost mass at its edges, its over-all mass would increase, since rising temperatures would lead to more snowfall over the continent's midsection.

Global warming is helping melt the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, a mass of glaciers spanning 2 million square kilometers in Antarctica, and over the past decade the rate of melting has tripled, according to researchers with the University of California, Irvine, and NASA.

Our observation technique for GBs of graphene paves a path for understanding fundamental mechanisms of graphene growth and efficient quality evaluation of large-scale graphene sheet for mass production.
