Sentences with phrase «most climate models currently»

Not exact matches

Computer models of climate are one tool for specialists but what we currently lack is not a better model but expertise on how to use them most appropriately.

«Cloud climate feedback constitutes the most important uncertainty in climate modelling, and currently even its sign is still unknown.

Sea ice is currently thinning and shrinking more rapidly than projected by most (CLIMATE) models.

The issue (# 4) of user - defined thresholds is also very important, and addressing issues related to such thresholds (with historical and paleo data and models to create scenarios whereby critical thresholds might be exceeded) can actually be more straightforward than most of what is currently being provided by climate scientists.

However, there remains uncertainty in the rate of sea ice loss, with the models that most accurately project historical sea ice trends currently suggesting nearly ice - free conditions sometime between 2021 and 2043 (median 2035).12 Uncertainty across all models stems from a combination of large differences in projections among different climate models, natural climate variability, and uncertainty about future rates of fossil fuel emissions.

But accepting the climate models as our currently best representation of the climate system, the observations unmistakably point to higher ECS being more likely, and a substantially higher ECS than previously thought as most likely — though the range of possible ECS obtained in this way is still wide, still indicating large uncertainties.

Coupled Atmosphere - Ocean General Circulation Models (AOGCMs) provide a representation of the climate system that is near the most comprehensive end of the spectrum currently available.

These results indicate that the cloud changes most consistently predicted by global climate models are currently occurring in nature.

Currently available proxy data are equivocal concerning a possible increase in the intensity of the meridional overturning cell for either transient or equilibrium climate states during the Pliocene, although an increase would contrast with the North Atlantic transient deep - water production decreases that are found in most coupled model simulations for the 21st century (see Chapter 10).

But never mind, my take - away is that they're asserting a three - phase approximation of climate response as follows: 40 % after 5 years (the «fast» response) 75 % after 100 years (the «slow» response: as opposed to 60 % currently used by most models) and 100 % after a millennium (the «recalcitrant» remainder) Would you agree with this summary?
