Not exact matches

While it is still unknown what time interval ice cores may document, they have the potential to give us incredible insights into past climate, atmospheric composition and variability in the all important Southern Westerly Winds.

Re 42 Sordnay — the most obvious radiative effect is that less atmospheric mass in total means that, for a given composition, there is less mass of any given substance within the atmosphere.

Given the huge sums of money involved in funding climate research and the even larger sums being spent on the assumption that it gives us good guidance for practical decisions, it may be time for some very large experimental chambers to be constructed to test the presumptions of the device of using forcings as an tractable way of including changes in atmospheric composition in climate models.

«We looked at ice cores and tropical sponge records, which give us reliable proxies for the carbon isotope composition of atmospheric carbon dioxide.

It follows that an atmospheric composition of about 8 % methane gives one 360 - 430 degrees of heating, with a fainter sun and a slightly lower albedo.

For example, scenarios that rely on the results from GCM experiments alone may be able to represent some of the uncertainties that relate to the modelling of the climate response to a given radiative forcing, but might not embrace uncertainties caused by the modelling of atmospheric composition for a given emissions scenario, or those related to future land - use change.

In that way we can allow factors other than mass, gravity and insolation to affect V without affecting T because T is determined only by the amount of KE needed to keep the mass of the atmosphere off the surface at a given height and in turn that is determined by mass (m) and the individual gas constant for the particular atmospheric composition (Rspecific).
