"Climate trends" refers to the long-term patterns and changes in Earth's climate conditions. It represents the direction and magnitude of shifts in weather patterns, temperatures, precipitation, and other aspects of the climate system over a sustained period of time.
Full definition
This makes it difficult for researchers to see how longer
term climate trends have changed in the region.
While these impacts are small relative to the technological yield gains over the same period, the results demonstrate already occurring negative impacts
of climate trends on crop yields at the global scale.
This climate report made it clear that there was no detailed regional information on
climate trends in the world.
As a result, their computer predictions of
future climate trends show dramatic global warming roughly proportional to projected carbon dioxide concentrations in the future.
We dig deep into the the data to produce reports
on climate trends and impacts, from state level temperature trends, to wildfires, heat waves, drought, precipitation and more.
Findings such as these allow scientists to better study long - term weather patterns and possibly make better sense of
current climate trends.
Their research shows that during the past 32 years there have been widespread increases in both plant growth and evaporation due to recent
global climate trends.
Secondly, year to year fluctuations are very large and simply reflect the chaotic nature of weather — the change over a single year does not say anything meaningful
about climate trends.
Climate models do not simulate observed natural variability and have not correctly
predicted climate trends in the last ~ 20 years.
Changes in the frequency and magnitude of climate extremes, of both moisture and temperature, are affected by
climate trends as well as changing variability.
They explore data showing temperature changes over the past 120 years and data illustrating
climate trends over different time scales.
But more fundamentally, looking for single and exclusive factor explanations for any
recent climate trends or changes is just too simple.
The
important climate trends aren't based on individual years, but on the underlying trends which have been solidly positive for decades.
These are just three examples of global change, a term used to
describe climate trends and other environmental transformations.
I hope this will lead to a broader discussion about the contribution of natural variability to
local climate trends and to the statistics of extreme events.
Ironically, in this same thread there is a specific discussion regarding the standard 30 - year period for
climate trend analysis.
If you're studying ancient
climate trends then you should be aware of the many intricacies of our planets ecosystem, making this question narrow in scope.
Furthermore, the enormous natural variability in tornadoes makes it difficult to sort out any
viable climate trends.
The complete exclusion of scientists is also egregious considering that they are often uniquely positioned to understand and
explain climate trends.
In this case we can say the
general climate trend will be for lower temperatures going forward but the ultimate impact and how it will all unfold is not known to anyone.
Indeed, the natural long - term
climate trend today would be toward a cooler climate were it not for human activities.
If so, the software and data to create a much more
honest climate trend should be in the public domain?
The moral of the story - don't use short term weather patterns to draw conclusions about long
term climate trends.
As rising ocean temperatures bleach corals in the Great Barrier Reef, scientists seek better insight into
climate trends in the region.
Consequently, in the chapter that follows we emphasize and place higher confidence in projections that are consistent with
current climate trends and supported by agricultural data.
Given the uncertainties and compromises surrounding temperature measurement and the definition of a «global average» I wonder if temperature is the best indicator
of climate trend.
Changes in the frequency and magnitude of climate extremes, of both moisture and temperature, are affected by
climate trends as well as changing variability.
