Not exact matches

For significant periods of time, the reconstructed large - scale changes in the North Pacific SLP field described here and by construction the long - term decline in Hawaiian winter rainfall are broadly consistent with long - term changes in tropical Pacific sea surface temperature (SST) based on ENSO reconstructions documented in several other studies, particularly over the last two centuries.

Deep steric changes occur over time scales of decades or longer and aren't expected to explain the discrepancy over the last 5 years (Antonov 2005).

There are of course other causes for other changes that have occurred, including suspected asteroid impacts, changes in volcanism over the eons which can lead to the buildup or reduction of greenhouse gases over long time scales, etc..

The Earth's rotation and position change in cycles in various ways over long time scales.

If we decide, as Lomborg suggests, to focus exclusively on a handful of top priorities at the expense of all others, especially those that are more complex and operate over longer time scales, such as Climate Change, we are doing little more than arranging the Titanic's proverbial deck - chairs.

Back in 2001, Peter Doran and colleagues wrote a paper about the Dry Valleys long term ecosystem responses to climate change, in which they had a section discussing temperature trends over the previous couple of decades (not the 50 years time scale being discussed this week).

But this human adaptation time scale may be longer than the time over which climate change affects storms, so that comparatively small changes in the frequency of generational events can have large social consequences.

Both are at different time scales, where any (theoretical) influence of CO2 need to change the ocean temperatures over a sufficient long period (10 - 30 years), to be visible in the statistics.

It's true that climate varies naturally over both short and long time - scales, but it's possible to distinguish natural climate change from human caused climate change.

Recent work (e.g., Hurrell 1995, 1996; Thompson and Wallace 1998; Corti et al., 1999) has suggested that the observed warming over the last few decades may be manifest as a change in frequency of these naturally preferred patterns (Chapters 2 and 7) and there is now considerable interest in testing the ability of climate models to simulate such weather regimes (Chapter 8) and to see whether the greenhouse gas forced runs suggest shifts in the residence time or transitions between such regimes on long time - scales.

The net effect of such compensations is that averages over larger areas or longer time scales commonly will give smaller estimates of change.

Thus there are primarily internal system changes forcing climate responses, not primarily external such as the absolute value of solar power (except over much longer time scales).

Weather changes on short time scales; climate over long ones.

It suggests that the ocean's natural variability and change is leading to variability and change with enhanced magnitudes over the continents, causing much of the longer - time - scale (decadal) global - scale continental climate variability.

These surface networks have had so many changes over time that the number of stations that have been moved, had their time of observation changed, had equipment changes, maintenance issues, or have been encroached upon by micro site biases and / or UHI using the raw data for all stations on a national scale or even a global scale gives you a result that is no longer representative of the actual measurements, there is simply too much polluted data.

The sensitivity he then derives is projected back using the 0.8 deg C warming over the 20th C. However, this is ludicrous — the sensitivity in the recent period can't be more than say, 1 ppmv per 0.1 deg C. Projected back you would have say a 10 ppmv (max) change over the 20th C. Paleo - climate constraints demonstrate that CC feedback even on really long time scales is not more than 100 ppmv / 6 deg C (i.e. 16 ppmv / deg C), and over shorter time periods (i.e. Frank et al, 2010) it is more like 10 ppmv / deg C. Salby's sensitivity appears to be 10 times too large.

It is only over the longer time scales (decades) that the additional predictability that comes from external drivers of climate change (for instance, carbon dioxide, air pollution and ozone depletion) can start to be useful — but that's another post.

Or to put it another way, there is no reason to expect global mean temp to be linearly related to CO2 forcing, when all sorts of other things have changed in nonlinear fashion over these long time scales.

Several of the most difficult emerge from the long time - scale over which the changes occur (see Section 14.3) and the possible need for action well before the magnitude (and certainty) of the impacts is clear (see Section 14.5).

The impact of land use change on the energy and water balance may be very significant for climate at regional scales over time periods of decades or longer.

McKitrick correlated land temperature trends with economic development / land use change etc. (over longer time scales than 1 year).
