Not exact matches

The rate of release from the tundra alone is predicted to reach 1.5 billion tons of carbon per annum before 2030, contributing to accelerated climate change, perhaps resulting in sustained decadal doubling of ice loss causing collapse of the Greenland Ice Sheet (Hansen et al, 2011).

I focused on Fig 2 of Rahmstorf 2012, which shows the rate of sea level change in the form of 10 yr decadal trends.

The rate of increase (i.e. change in temperature per year) is increasing, so maybe the best way to tell is by comparing decadal changes.

The rate of release from the tundra alone is predicted to reach 1.5 billion tons of carbon per annum before 2030, contributing to accelerated climate change, perhaps resulting in sustained decadal doubling of ice loss causing collapse of the Greenland Ice Sheet (Hansen et al, 2011).

The sum (integral) of this effect over time will be shown in LOD (not it's rate of change), so decadal scale change in SST will be reflected in LOD.

The projected rates of change are less than or equal to zero for decades from 2002 in the current cool decadal mode.

Concerning the derivation of my own graphical adaptations of the IPCC and Hadley Center source graphics, the process by which the slopes of historical CET trend lines were determined is readily evident from direct examination of the illustration, without any further explanation other than to clarify that all fitting of trend slopes was done by visually placing each linearized trend line onto the original HadCET source plot wherever it was appropriate in the CET record for the particular decadal rate of change being fitted: -0.1, -0.03, +.03, +0.1, +0.2, +0.3, or +0.4

Ensemble decadal prediction simulations using the Community Earth System Model (CESM) can skillfully predict past decadal rates of Atlantic winter sea ice change because they do well at predicting THC - driven ocean heat content change in the vicinity of the winter sea ice edge in the Labrador, Greenland, Irminger, and Barents Seas.

Bob, the 1973/74/75 / 76 & 1995/96 events correspond with decadal - timescale peaks in the rate of change of terrestrial angular velocity — i.e. - LOD» — the red curve here...... and with minima in terrestrial nutation obliquity...... and also with negative surges in terrestrial nutation longitude.

This record (Holgate 2007) shows that the average decadal rate of SL change has oscillated from -1 mm / year to +5 mm / year over the 20th C, with the first half of the 20th C showing a slightly higher average rate of +2.0 mm / year than the second half at +1.4 mm / year (IOW no observed acceleration in the rate of SL rise).

As I said in my comments on Roy's blog, I think the rate of change in temperature is composed of a «persistent» force from natural cycles of decadal and bidecadal (and possibly longer) length, and an «anti-persistent» tendency from random shocks to the system.

Based on the understanding of both the physical processes that control key climate feedbacks (see Section 8.6.3), and also the origin of inter-model differences in the simulation of feedbacks (see Section 8.6.2), the following climate characteristics appear to be particularly important: (i) for the water vapour and lapse rate feedbacks, the response of upper - tropospheric RH and lapse rate to interannual or decadal changes in climate; (ii) for cloud feedbacks, the response of boundary - layer clouds and anvil clouds to a change in surface or atmospheric conditions and the change in cloud radiative properties associated with a change in extratropical synoptic weather systems; (iii) for snow albedo feedbacks, the relationship between surface air temperature and snow melt over northern land areas during spring and (iv) for sea ice feedbacks, the simulation of sea ice thickness.

As we have shown in Rahmstorf et al. (2012), much or most of the decadal variations in the rate of sea - level rise in tide gauge data are probably not real changes at all, but simply an artefact of inadequate spatial sampling of the tide gauges.
