Sentences with phrase «beyond equilibrium climate»

Beyond equilibrium climate sensitivity -LSB-...] Newer metrics relating global warming directly to the total emitted CO2 show that in order to keep warming to within 2 °C, future CO2 emissions have to remain strongly limited, irrespective of climate sensitivity being at the high or low end.»

Not exact matches

What could hypothetically happen if a very large change in GHG amount / type is made, is that the forcing could increase beyond a point where it becomes saturated at the tropopause level at all wavelengths — what can happen then is that the equilibrium climate sensitivity to the nearly zero forcing from additional GHGs may approach infinity, because in equilibrium the tropopause has to shift upward enough to reach a level where there can be some net LW flux up through it.

Some moderate uncertainty begins to arise when we go beyond the radiative forcings and start looking at the climate response time as to how quickly the climate system approaches equilibrium.

But there is more even beyond the discussion of whether transient or equilibrium climate sensitivity is being estimated.
