Sentences with phrase «= equilibrium temperature change»

Climate sensitivity (for a doubled CO2) = equilibrium temperature change on the surface of the earth caused by this CO2 (or equivalent GHG) forcing.

climate sensitivity = equilibrium temperature change for doubled atmospheric CO2 concentration

Not exact matches

(change in forcing from bottom to top of a layer = forcing of that layer; equilibrium temperature response of a layer changes the LW and convective fluxes to restore balance).

«Radiative forcing [RF] can be related through a linear relationship to the global mean equilibrium temperature change at the surface (delta Ts): delta Ts = lambda * RF, where lambda is the climate sensitivity parameter (e.g., Ramaswamy et al., 2001).

(ppm) Year of Peak Emissions Percent Change in global emissions Global average temperature increase above pre-industrial at equilibrium, using «best estimate» climate sensitivity CO 2 concentration at stabilization (2010 = 388 ppm) CO 2 - eq.

This was my mental equation dF = dH / dt + lambda * dT where dF is the forcing change over a given period (1955 - 2010), dH / dt is the rate of change of ocean heat content, and dT is the surface temperature change in the same period, with lambda being the equilibrium sensitivity parameter, so the last term is the Planck response to balance the forcing in the absence of ocean storage changes.

«Radiative forcing can be related through a linear relationship to the global mean equilibrium temperature change at the surface (ΔTs): ΔTs = λ RF, where λ is the climate sensitivity parameter (e.g., Ramaswamy et al., 2001).»

According to the relationship (dCO2 / dt = f (Ta)-RRB-, temperature determines the «equilibrium» change in atmospheric CO2, not the absolute level.

Therefore, changes in density N of total air are governed by hydrostatic equilibrium condition dp / dz = - ρ g = - NM g. Using the hydrostatic equilibrium and the ideal gas law you can easily express the reference term γ ∂ N / ∂ z via g and temperature.

If the sea level response to a change in temperature is an exponential decay to equilibrium then given that the 0.8 C temperature increase since pre-industrial times occurred over a relatively short time period relative to time scale of the ice - albedo feedback, the expected rate of sea level rise should be approximately 3 m / C * 0.8 C / 560 y = 43 cm per century.

Radiative forcing can be related through a linear relationship to the global mean equilibrium temperature change at the surface (ΔTs): ΔTs = λRF, where λ is the climate sensitivity parameter.
