Sentences with phrase «seasonal changes in insolation»

Seasonal changes in insolation are much larger than annual mean changes and can reach 60 W m — 2 (Box TS.6, Figure 1).

Those for Summer and Winter are not, but the seasonal change in insolation for those times of year is small.

Not exact matches

Furthermore, while the deep wind is stable, in the upper atmosphere the speed and width of the equatorial stream are highly changeable, perhaps due to the seasonal insolation cycle on Saturn, and their intensity is increased by the changing shadowing of the rings above the equator.

The major mid-Holocene forcing relative to the present was due to orbital perturbations that led to large changes in the seasonal cycle of insolation.

It doesn't have to be CO2 — in this case it's seasonal insolation changes which cause an expansion of ice cover which cause a change in the planet's overall albedo.

It would be worth building on the results that he reports there, for example by looking at seasonal differences, or the perturbation of the insolation caused warming by changes in humidity..

As a result, changes in the position and duration of the seasons on the orbit strongly modulate the latitudinal and seasonal distribution of insolation.

Changes in obliquity modulate seasonal contrasts as well as annual mean insolation changes with opposite effects at low vs. high latitudes (and therefore no effect on global average insolation)-LCB- 6.4Changes in obliquity modulate seasonal contrasts as well as annual mean insolation changes with opposite effects at low vs. high latitudes (and therefore no effect on global average insolation)-LCB- 6.4changes with opposite effects at low vs. high latitudes (and therefore no effect on global average insolation)-LCB- 6.4 -RCB-.

The summer - winter changes in insolation are much larger than those due to human - induced greenhouse gas changes; the seasonal change is mainly in the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum while the greenhouse gas forcing is in the infrared; the greenhouse gas influence is global while the seasonal changes are opposite in the two hemispheres; and we have a much longer history of observing the seasonal changes, so a more or less correct prediction can be made empirically, without any physical understanding.

This major oscillation may be related to a non-linear response of the climatic system to the gradual decrease in insolation, in addition to seasonal and inter-hemispherical changes in insolation.

His chosen models had to simulate the seasonal changes in ice cover to demonstrate an accurate sensitivity to changes in solar insolation.

The correct way to caclulate the actual forcing from a given albedo model would be to take the difference between the model with unchanged insolation and that with changed insolation, rather than treating it all as being a consequence of the drift in seasonal insolation.

His answer to that problem is found in changes in seasonal albedo due to the increased seasonal insolation.

The major mid-Holocene forcing relative to the present was due to orbital perturbations that led to large changes in the seasonal cycle of insolation.
