Sentences with phrase «among sea ice models»

The neXtSIM model is currently being developed at the Nansen Environmental and Remote Sensing Center, and is unique among sea ice models owing to its rheological framework that is based on solid mechanics and allowing to reproduce the multifractal scaling invariance of sea ice deformation with an unprecedented realism.

Not exact matches

The military uses the microwave information to detect ocean wind speeds to feed into weather models, among other uses, but the data happen to be nearly perfect for sensing sea ice, says Walt Meier, a sea - ice specialist with the NSIDC.

The team used a worldwide climate model that incorporated normal month - to - month variations in sea surface temperatures and sea ice coverage, among other climate factors, to simulate 12,000 years» worth of weather.

The remote impacts of Arctic sea - ice loss can only be properly represented using models that simulate interactions among the ocean, sea ice, land and atmosphere.

Hansen et al. recently explored the effect of stratification of meltwater water on storminess, sea surface temperature and sea level rise and found that, among other things, their model predicted strong feedbacks in ice sheet exposure to destabilizing influences.

Yet some kind of climate model is indispensable to make future predictions of the climate system and IPCC has identified several reasons for respect in the climate models including the fact that models are getting better in predicting what monitoring evidence is actually observing around the world in regard to temperature, ice and snow cover, droughts and floods, and sea level rise among other things.

Although there is a general consensus among models that rising CO2 will drive warming and continued ice melt into the future, IPCC models failed to predict the current level of rapid sea ice reduction.

Viable avenues for improving the information base include determining the primary causes of variation among different climate models and determining which climate models exhibit the best ability to reproduce the observed rate of sea ice loss.

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.

Among the dynamic models, 9 are fully - coupled (with sea ice, ocean and atmosphere components) and 5 are ice - ocean only.

Miller, J.R., and G.L. Russell, 1997: Investigating the interactions among river flow, salinity and sea ice using a global coupled atmosphere - ocean - ice model.

There's now strong agreement on several of the weather and climate patterns that future Arctic sea ice loss will create, provided that the right types of climate models are put on the task — models that capture the interplay among atmosphere, oceans, and sea ice.
