Sentences with phrase «centennial timescales»

"Centennial timescales" refers to long periods of time that last for one hundred years. Full definition
The GKSS simulation was forced with unusually large changes in natural radiative forcing in past centuries [the peak - to - peak solar forcing changes on centennial timescales (~ 1 W / m2) were about twice that used in other studies (e.g. Crowley, 2000) and much larger than the most recent estimates (~ 0.15 W / m2 — see Lean et al., 2002; Foukal et al., 2004)-RSB-.
Note that the atmospheric signal is smoothed during the pore close - off process, so that sharp fluctuations occurring at sub centennial timescales can not be resolved in Antarctic ice cores.
The implications of our findings are that the modern observations of ocean - driven warming along the western Antarctic Peninsula need to be considered as part of a natural centennial timescale cycle of climate variability, and that in order to understand climate change along the Antarctic Peninsula, we need to understand the broader climate connections with the rest of the planet.
At shorter, multidecadal / centennial timescales global temperature seems to variate (~ 1 - 2 °C) without ceasing.
During the next fifteen years, the program will foster understanding and prediction of climate variability and change on intraseasonal - to - centennial timescales through observations and modeling with emphasis on the role of the ocean and its interaction with other elements of the Earth system, and to serve the climate community and society through the coordination and facilitation of research on outstanding climate questions.
Nevertheless, we also note that clear evidence of a secular change in hurricane frequency identified in the LML record is consistent with other lines of evidence that conditions for the development of hurricanes have changed on centennial timescales.
Muir L., and A. V. Fedorov, 2014: How the AMOC affects ocean temperatures on decadal to centennial timescales: the North Atlantic versus an interhemispheric seesaw.
A one - time removal of anthropogenic carbon dioxide also reduces warming by a little less than 50 % at the time of removal, and radiative forcing by two - thirds on centennial timescales.
Recent time series display strongly nonlinear characteristics, from the intraseasonal via the interannual and the decadal to the centennial timescale (67), with the interannual variations lag correlated with the phases of ENSO, although this may be increasingly masked by anthropogenic forcing (68).
