单词 thermal inertia
释义
thermal inertia

Geology and Earth Sciences
  • A measure of the responsiveness of a material to variations in temperature. In remote sensing it is measured by diurnal changes in temperature. Materials with a high heat capacity display high thermal inertia, consequently such materials will show small changes in temperature through the diurnal cycle.


Geography
  • The slowness with which the temperature of a body approaches that of its surroundings. ‘The Earth’s climate system has considerable thermal inertia. The effect of the inertia is to delay the atmospheric and oceanic response to various climate forcings. The existence of thermal inertia implies that still greater climate changes will be in store for present increased atmospheric CO2 levels, which may be difficult or impossible to avoid’ (Lockwood in J. Holdem 2012).
