Sentences with phrase «average global surface temperature into»

Not exact matches

With an El Niño now under way — meaning warm surface waters in the Pacific are releasing heat into the atmosphere — and predicted to intensify, it looks as if the global average surface temperature could jump by around 0.1 °C in just one year.

Clearly the rate at which TOA imbalance diffuses into and through the global ocean is key to how much and how quickly global average surface temperature will rise over any given span of time.

The climate problem, whenever it is well - posed, involves the Global Average Surface Temperature, which includes SST integrated into a sampled GAST (time).

Parker (2004) segmented observed surface temperature data into lighter and stronger wind terciles in order to assess whether the reported large - scale global - averaged temperature increases are attributable to urban warming.

Currently, human warming by Greenhouse gasses has pushed global average surface temperatures into a range about 1 degree Celsius hotter than the 1880s.

Global warming refers to an increase in the average temperature of the Earth as a result of the greenhouse effect, in which gases in the upper atmosphere trap solar radiation close to the planet's surface instead of allowing it to dissipate into space.

There are two primary externalities that result from our emissions of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere — 1) an enhancement of the greenhouse effect, which results in an alteration of the energy flow in the earth's climate and a general tendency to warm the global average surface temperature, and 2) an enhancement of the rate of photosynthesis in plants and a general tendency to result in more efficient growth and an overall healthier condition of vegetation (including crops).

Unfortunately using global average surface air temperatures as a measure of total warming ignores the fact that most of the heat (more than 93 %) goes into our oceans, which continue to warm without any sign of a pause, as you can see below.

In it, they documented how a change in observing practices before and after World War II produced a cold bias in the sea surface temperatures that were incorporated into the compilations of global average temperatures (see here and here for more details).

This conclusion takes into account the approximately 62 year period natural cycle in global average surface temperatures that is obvious in the HadCRUT4 global average surface temperature data, that had a maximum in about 1945 and again in about 2007, and that seems to be the cause of the current «pause» in global average surface temperatures.

Last year was the hottest since records began and with an El Nino now under way the warm surface waters of the Pacific are releasing heat into the atmosphere with the result 2015 is likely to break last year's record and the global average surface temperature could jump by as much as 0.1 degree this year alone bring global surface temperatures increases to 1 degrees or half way to the UN global limit.

m in the atmosphere, which translates into a brightness temperature ~ 34C for a global annual average, even higher than that of the surface.

That's the word from NOAA and refers to the combined global land and ocean surface temperatures, which at 14.5 °C (58.1 °F) was 0.76 °C (1.37 °F) above the average for the 20th century.Before we go into the other NOAA bullet points, it's very worthwhile passing on a bit of caption clarification.

If heat flow into the deeper ocean (under 300m) is driven independently of Global Average Surface temperature or the «greenhouse» effect, then we have no reason to suppose that the latter produces any «global warming» aGlobal Average Surface temperature or the «greenhouse» effect, then we have no reason to suppose that the latter produces any «global warming» aglobal warming» at all.

Specifically, the term is defined as how much the average global surface temperature will increase if there is a doubling of greenhouse gases (expressed as carbon dioxide equivalents) in the air, once the planet has had a chance to settle into a new equilibrium after the increase occurs.

Professor Reif wrote, «As human activities emit more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, the global average surface temperature will continue to rise, driving rising sea levels and extreme weather.»
