  • Along the coastal belt, precipitation from advective fog exceeds precipitation from rainfall.

    Water profile of Namibia 2008

  • Given the near dearth of empirical observations, measurements, and actual knowledge about the effects of carbon aerosols and cloud formations upon convective, advective, and radiative heat transport mechanisms in the atmosphere, how can any claims or conclusions about the effects of emissions be reasonably supportable as a true application of science?

  • These include turbluent mixing, advective and convective processes, as well as mecanical mixing.

    Letter to NAS « Climate Audit 2006

  • Mass average flux resulting from combined advection and diffusion is shown to be evaluated as the vector sum of advective and diffusive fluxes, rather than diffusive flux being evaluated as a flux relative to a mass average flux.
