Sentences with phrase «averages with climate model projections»

Not exact matches

Citing the work of Dr. John Christy and Richard McNider at the University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), which compared climate model projections with temperatures measured independently by satellites and weather balloons, he said «the average warming predicted to have occurred since 1979 (when the satellite data starts) is approximately three times larger than what is being observed.»

The widespread trend of increasing heavy downpours is expected to continue, with precipitation becoming less frequent but more intense.13, 14,15,16 The patterns of the projected changes of precipitation do not contain the spatial details that characterize observed precipitation, especially in mountainous terrain, because the projections are averages from multiple models and because the effective resolution of global climate models is roughly 100 - 200 miles.

It is worth noting that the average impact estimates for the baseline period are quantitatively in agreement with reported figures at European level (see Alfieri et al. 2015b), thus supporting the suitability of the impact model and the underlying datasets for future climate projections.

The implicit assumption underlying all those multi-model projections and averages is that the model physical theory itself is physically complete and would yield a physically true representation of the climate if only the parameters were exactly known, along with the initial conditions.

Coupled with the average climate - change — driven rate of sea level rise over these same 25 y of 2.9 mm / y, simple extrapolation of the quadratic implies global mean sea level could rise 65 ± 12 cm by 2100 compared with 2005, roughly in agreement with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 5th Assessment Report (AR5) model projeclimate - change — driven rate of sea level rise over these same 25 y of 2.9 mm / y, simple extrapolation of the quadratic implies global mean sea level could rise 65 ± 12 cm by 2100 compared with 2005, roughly in agreement with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 5th Assessment Report (AR5) model projeClimate Change (IPCC) 5th Assessment Report (AR5) model projections.
