However, overall sensitivities of lifetime to changes in atmospheric composition vary widely from model to model.

It will allow researchers to assess whether a planet is habitable or not based on atmospheric composition.

Air bubbles trapped in the ice cores provide a record of past atmospheric composition.

In my opinion, and in the view of most economists, those steps must be accompanied by a rising price on carbon emissions if we hope to stabilize atmospheric composition.

In them a planet might still be able to support liquid water on its surface if more exotic atmospheric compositions are allowed.

Using a muted colour palette, the practitioner creates atmospheric compositions, expanding the boundaries of tradition.

Our model seamlessly represents atmospheric composition from the surface to the model top (above the stratosphere).

What climate models are is algorithms that predict the consequences of changes in atmospheric composition given our best current theories on radiation, energy transfer, conservation of momentum etc..

By the end of the 1990s, research on atmospheric composition and climate forcing had made many important advances.

Furthermore, the models do not predict future changes in atmospheric composition, do they?

Air bubbles trapped in the ice cores provide a record of past atmospheric composition.

Because this climate sensitivity is derived from empirical data on how Earth responded to past changes of boundary conditions, including atmospheric composition, our conclusions about limits on fossil fuel emissions can be regarded as largely independent of climate models.

ii) The oceans appear to vary in the rate at which they release solar energy back to the air which affects atmospheric composition via humidity, clouds and global albedo.

Figure 2, above: Surface incident photon flux densities for Earth, and for planets in the habitable zone of F, K, and M stars, as calculated from atmospheric composition by Segura et al. and the SMART radiative transfer model of Crisp.

eg «Further, Earth is out of energy balance with present atmospheric composition, implying that more warming is in the pipeline, and we show that the growth rate of greenhouse gas climate forcing has accelerated markedly in the past decade.»

Aerosols of a well defined size and with typical atmospheric composition (NaCl, (NH4) 2SO4, H2SO4) can be produced with standard aerosol generation techniques (Section 4.4.3).

Global ecologist Kenneth Caldeira of the Carnegie Institution in Stanford, California, who has studied the implications of low carbon concentrations in the atmosphere, says the researchers have made «a persuasive case» that pressure can play an important role in the planet's long - term atmospheric composition.

The present ice ages are the most studied and best understood, particularly the last 400,000 years, since this is the period covered by ice cores that record atmospheric composition and proxies for temperature and ice volume.

Five classes of scenarios relevant to CCIAV analysis were distinguished in the TAR: climate, socio - economic, land - use and land - cover, other environmental (mainly atmospheric composition), and sea - level scenarios (Carter et al., 2001).

The Greenland ice sheet is a unique archive of the climate and atmospheric composition far back in time.

Non-polar glacial ice holds a wealth of information about past changes in climate, the environment and especially atmospheric composition, such as variations in temperature, atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases and emissions of natural aerosols or human - made pollutants... The glaciers therefore hold the memory of former climates and help to predict future environmental changes.

Effects of fuel usage will depend on local atmospheric composition, such as fine particle pollutants.

Scientists encounter big challenges when reconstructing atmospheric compositions in Earth's geological past because of the lack of useable sample material.
