A study published this year by Bradley Udall, senior water and climate research scientist with the Colorado Water Institute at Colorado State University, and Jonathan Overpeck, professor of hydrology and atmospheric sciences at the University of Arizona, found that during the drought years of 2000 - 2014, the river surrendered a third of its flow because of higher temperatures in the upper basin.

Scientists encounter big challenges when reconstructing atmospheric compositions in Earth's geological past because of the lack of useable sample material.

Naturally, scientists wanted to see if they could see any movement on these lakes, as it could tell them more about atmospheric dynamics — particularly the winds, because waves are caused by winds transferring their kinetic energy into the liquid.

«We know rather little about how much methane comes from different sources and how these have been changing in response to industrial and agricultural activities or because of climate events like droughts,» says Hinrich Schaefer, an atmospheric scientist at the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA) in New Zealand, who collaborates with Petrenko.

«Irene did about what was expected from the forecasts,» said atmospheric scientist Eugene McCaul, of NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala. «The rainfall was probably the biggest threat, partly because most ofthe East and New England have had a very wet August even before Irene's onslaught.»

Quote: Retired senior NASA atmospheric scientist, Dr. John S. Theon, 15th Jan 2009,» My own belief concerning anthropogenic climate change is that the models do not realistically simulate the climate system because there are many very important sub-grid scale processes that the models either replicate poorly or completely omit.

Some earth scientists call that atmospheric jolt the great Oxygen Catastrophe, because the buildup of oxygen was toxic to most other species at the time.

We only need to take a consensus of atmospheric scientists in the first place because the science is so nascent that pretty much no inarguable conclusions are at all apparent.

However, because climate scientists at the time believed a doubling of atmospheric CO2 would cause a larger global heat imbalance than today's estimates, the actual climate sensitivities were approximatly 18 % lower (for example, the «Best» model sensitivity was actually closer to 2.1 °C for doubled CO2).

However, as in the FAR, because climate scientists at the time believed a doubling of atmospheric CO2 would cause a larger global heat imbalance than current estimates, the actual «best estimate» model sensitivity was closer to 2.1 °C for doubled CO2.

This is true because most mainstream scientists have concluded that the world must reduce total global emissions by at the very least 60 to 80 percent below existing levels to stabilize GHG atmospheric concentrations at minimally safe atmospheric GHG concentrations and the United States is a huge emitter both in historical terms and in comparison to current emissions levels of other high emitting nations.

No assumption we know all the answers because 97 percent of atmospheric scientists have faith that CO2 regulates climate and any dissent owes to corrupt motives.

Because the efficiency of solar panels and concentrating solar power plants is highly dependent on the weather of a particular area, atmospheric scientists are needed to study atmospheric and weather conditions prior to the development of plants or large commercial solar projects.

«We have a vested interest in creating panic because money will then flow to climate scientists», says Professor John Christy, University of Alabama atmospheric scientist who also contributed to the IPCC.

Climate skeptic scientists have long questioned whether the effects of relatively minor (compared to other CO2 sources and sinks) human - caused emissions of CO2 have more than a minor effect on global temperatures and some have even questioned whether the UN and USEPA have even gotten the causation backwards (i.e., because on balance global temperatures affect atmospheric CO2 levels).

I think the reason «atmospheric scientists», I'm putting this in quotation marks because I think this refers to «climate scientists» whose basic physics I dispute, are resisting this is really quite simple, it includes condensation and as I've gone to some effort to explain, the Water Cycle is missing from the energy budgets and I give the following as examples of their narrative:

However, because climate scientists at the time believed a doubling of atmospheric CO2 would cause a larger global heat imbalance than is currently believed, the actual climate sensitivities were approximatly 18 % lower (for example, the «Best» model sensitivity was actually closer to 2.1 °C for doubled CO2).

Some climate scientists are claiming that more extreme weather events are occurring than in the past, and that the primary reason is because the atmosphere contains more water vapor due to the increase in the average global atmospheric temperature.

For convenience scientists often consider a standard forcing, doubled atmospheric CO2, because that is a level of forcing that humans will impose this century if fossil fuel use continues unabated.

If the Earth's greenhouse is caused by the forcing model used by climate scientists, then the GHE should be very stable over the course of the year because overall there is little change to the atmospheric concentration of the greenhouse gases that cause the GHE in the forcing model that they use.

The current California drought is bad because for the first time ever, scientists from many different fields see parallel lines of evidence for the influence of human - induced climate changes, including the fingerprints of higher temperatures and changes in the atmospheric circulation patterns.

Because VPD taps atmospheric components, which are poorly studied, Granger says the measure shows promise as a tool for unraveling how drought begins.Deep in the driest part of Southern California, just north of Los Angeles, scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory are tracking VPD across the West for the first time.

And yet I personally know a dozen or more atmospheric scientists who would not buck the «consensus» because they wanted to continue their careers.
