In the end, climate observations have requirements that are typically ten times more
accurate than weather, and require 10 times as many variables to be observed.
Not exact matches
So, Opel also ran the Ampera - e through a test called the Worldwide Harmonized Light - Duty Vehicles Test Procedure, which takes into consideration road characteristics,
weather, load influence, and driving styles to produce a much more
accurate estimate, giving the Ampera - e a rating of more
than 380 km (or 236 miles) of range — almost dead - on to EPA estimates.
I can't promise it is any more
accurate than the zillions of other
weather apps already available, but it should be of a certain quality given that it comes to us from Google.
pat - «Similarly many environmental activists believe that man's influence is a form of sin and nature (Gaea) will soon strike back...» You can phrase the position of a fictitious group any way you want of course, without rebuttal, because they don't really exist, though there are people who fit the description — especially if by «many» you mean more
than three — but the more
accurate reality is most of the human beings you would lump under the rubric «environmentalist» would more accurately be described as believing that short - sighted and greedy human attempts at total control and domination and complete disregard for the healthof the environment have gotten us out of balance with what was an interlocking web of balanced and dynamic systems, and would appear to have unbalanced many of those systems as well, including the still poorly understood cycles of climate; or
weather, as we laymen call it.
Natural day - to - day
weather variation is a chaotic system, which makes it very difficult to make
accurate predictions of its behaviour more
than the few days out.
Yet I have not heard of a single
weather derivatives group which claims to profess
weather and climate with «investment accuracy» (
accurate often enough to be worth betting modest sums on) over more
than a one year time horizon.
More
than 20 years of effort have not led to presidents or prime ministers — nor even their climate change ministers — making factually
accurate statements about climate change, and especially the link between climate change and extreme
weather events.
Dr. John Christy, director of the Earth System Science Center at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, says the first six months of this year were the second warmest since the satellite - measured temperature era began in 1979, and satellite - measured temperature is more
accurate than temperature measured at
weather stations on Earth.
Thus, a deterministic
weather forecast can not be
accurate after a period of a few weeks, and the time interval for skillful modern forecasts is only somewhat shorter
than the estimate for this theoretical limit.
The intent of downscaling is to achieve
accurate, higher spatial resolution of
weather and other components of the climate system
than is achievable with the coarser spatial resolution global model.
«Since the
weather prediction model simulated the frequency and timing of summer precipitation more reliably
than the global model, its daily high temperature predictions for the future are also believed to be more
accurate,» added co-author Leonard Druyan, NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies and Columbia University.
But in 1904 another physicist, the Norwegian Vilhelm Bjerknes, had put forth the idea that his «primitive equations» — a set of differential equations providing for a reasonable mathematical description atmospheric flow — could provide the foundation for numerically - based
weather prediction methods that could potentially be much more
accurate than existing methods.
The monthly average image is more
accurate than the daily images because
weather anomalies and other errors are less likely to affect it.
UAH from their satellite data are suggesting that this is a more
accurate record
than the global temperature records because of UHI not being properly allowed for in urban
weather stations records (supported by NASA 3 yr research on UHI).
With
weather and climate disasters becoming more destructive and costlier
than ever,
accurate and reliable
weather forecasting is absolutely critical to protect life and property.
