Sentences with phrase «attribution studies»

It is a fact of life for attribution studies that the climate changes associated with the end of the Little Ice Age overlap with the beginning of the era of industrial warming.

I would be curious to see if that would align the results of this study more closely with prior attribution studies of extreme events.

It is well established through formal attribution studies that the global warming of the past 50 years is due primarily to human - induced increases in heat - trapping gases.

However, most climate papers are not attribution studies, and discuss some other aspect of climate change.

Event attribution studies like the one described in the paper can help lead to improved understanding.

It is common in detection and attribution studies only to use data where there are observations by reducing the coverage of the models to match that of the data.

It should be noted that proper attribution studies don't just do correlations, they are rather more sophisticated.

The above still stands out as the best attribution study I've seen.

The latest in so - called attribution studies is to study each individual event by itself, looking for how climate change may have made it stronger or more likely.

Event attribution studies seek to determine to what extent anthropogenic climate change has altered the probability or magnitude of particular events.

We will add to this section if direct attribution studies are conducted.

The new research differs from other so - called extreme event attribution studies, not just in its broad - brush approach, but also in how the term «extreme» is defined.

Ultimately, however, no one has performed a specific climate attribution study on this event, so we can not say with high confidence if and to what extent climate change has altered Hurricane Harvey.»

On the attribution question, the results of Gillett et al. are consistent with the many other attribution studies we've looked at (i.e. Lean and Rind 2008, Huber and Knutti 2011, and Foster and Rahmstorf 2011)- namely that humans have been the dominant cause of the global warming over the past 25 - 150 years (Figure 1).

We are pleased to announce that we are starting a new collaborative project with Climate Central that aims to demonstrate the feasibility of near real - time attribution studies for extreme weather events around the world.

In the second real - time extreme weather attribution study in the context of the World Weather Attribution project the team found a 5 - 80 % increase in the likelihood of heavy precipitation like those associated with storm Desmond to occur due to anthropogenic climate change.

I don't see a similar «point of contact» between models and reality as far as attribution studies of extreme events are concerned, given that what we need to compare are modeled statistics (which we can always have by making many model runs) and meaningful real statistics, (which are hard to get)?

Indeed, rainfall data reveal significant increases of heavy precipitation over much of Northern Hemisphere land and in the tropics (27) and attribution studies link this intensification of rainfall and floods to human - made global warming (28 ⇓ — 30).

Trenberth believes many attribution studies tend to underestimate people's impact on the climate.

As has been the case since the first attribution studies, the firmest conclusions about the role of warming came from high temperature events.

Attribution studies tend to start from an assumption that climate change didn't have an impact on an extreme event.

A number of climate scientists have conducted attribution studies and universally find that while the 1910 - 1945 warming was predominantly caused by natural effects (i.e. increasing solar activity and an extended period of low volcanic activity), the warming over the past 50 years has been dominated by human GHG emissions (Figure 1).
