Sentences with phrase «average climate»

With climate forecasting we are looking at average climate over a period of time.

Are risks of climate change mostly due to changes in extremes, changes in average climate, or both?

Average climate conditions give a starting point for understanding what grows where, tourist destinations and other business opportunities.

My question is whether this number is substantially different when arrived at by averaging climate sensitivity over a 3D surface or calculating climate sensitivity for a 1D average surface.

Even if you conveniently happened to live in a place where the local climate changes balanced out, reorganization would likely affect global average climate as well and so you'd still suffer from the worldwide flip from warm - and - wet into cool - and - dry.

But the bad news is that while global average climate was largely restored, substantial differences remained locally, with some areas getting much wetter and other areas getting much drier.

The Bender et al. (2010) study projected a significant increase (+90 %) in the frequency of very intense (category 4 and 5) hurricanes using the CMIP3 / A1B 18 - model average climate change projection.

«These profound and clearly projected changes make physical and statistical sense, but they are invisible when looking at long - term trends in average climate projections,» Gershunov said.

Unfortunately, the figure also confirms that the spatial resolution of theoutput from the GCMs used in the Mediterranean study is too coarse for constructing detailed regional scenarios.To develop more detailed regional scenarios, modelers can combine the GCM results with output from statistical models.3 This is done by constructing a statistical model to explain the observed temperature or precipitation at a meteorological station in terms of a range of regionally - averaged climate variables.

So I think there are two main ones and the first one is that UKCP09 primarily gave evidence about average climate and how that might change, whereas I think the agenda has shifted now.

Average climate trends are not.

Unfortunately, as I showed in my last post, it turns out those short - term measurements are temperature dependent, which means that the long - term average climate sensitivity perforce has to be a function of temperature as well.

Most previous studies of the Arctic atmosphere focused on the monthly average climate and how it varied over the seasons.

What this figure does not show, however, is that as other complex feedback mechanisms kick in, the rate of warming may begin to exceed the IPCC average climate sensitivity.

The low greenhouse gas emissions scenario (RCP4.5 *) delays average climate departure to 2069 but does not prevent it.

In a few years since 1950, this tree had a very high index value of 7 or 8 (meaning these rings are 7 or 8 times wider than would be expected for rings of that age growing in average climate conditions).

The two maps below, produced for the study by the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory at Princeton, are based on a climate model comparing the production of strong hurricanes in conditions mimicking the current climate (basically, average climate conditions from 1980 to 2006) with hurricane production in conditions simulating those projected for the final two decades of the century.

Researchers created six «average climate change» scenarios for the Pacific Northwest and then downscaled the scenarios to create higher - resolution climate projections for particular geographic areas.

The rank histogram approach, as applied here over spatial fields of nine time - averaged climate variables and one trend, represents a leading - order diagnostic of the behaviour of an ensemble.

GCMs are intended to project (not predict) average climate over the long term, and there has never been a claim that they could accurately predict short term variations that cancel out over several decades.

Nobody lives in the global average climate.

«Average climate will certainly get warmer,» says Roger Revelle, an oceanographer and climatologist at the University of California at San Diego.

«Droughts and floods are extreme climate events that are likely to change more rapidly than the average climate,» says Dai.

However, shifts in the average climate of the tropical oceans could change the relative amounts of expansion in these two adjoining oceans, and ultimately modulate the long - term change in the IPWP impact on regional rainfall amounts.

Aside from some warm interglacials, the average climate was last as warm as we expect in 2100 during the Pliocene epoch — before the emergence of the genus Homo which includes you and me.

Average climate conditions are important.
