Sentences with phrase «climate response»

Each mechanism fails to generate the expected climate response in important respects, although some relations are found.

Some don't believe that there may be different climate responses for equal forcings.

The growing research area of extreme event attribution has provided pertinent scientific evidence for a number of such warm events for which the forced climate response rises above internal climatic variability.

Any increase in our estimate of the natural climate responses to past forcings points to a more variable future path with larger average changes.

So if you're concerned about climate change as a major issue then you may want to consider switching to a party that supports climate responses more readily.

Corporate Climate Response events bring together companies, regulators and other carbon experts to discuss how companies can best reduce their overall carbon emissions.

There are probably other climate responses that different models treat differently, even though they all tend to generate temperature responses to doubled CO2 of about 1.2 C.

And of course the sensitivity issue is just about the basic climate response.

The remaining two — on sustainable habitat and strategic knowledge — are service missions and seek to create more knowledge on useful climate responses.

Since the atmospheric lifetime of black carbon is only a few days, reducing black carbon emissions can bring about a rapid climate response in a short amount of time.

We test how well our model can reproduce these observations, and thus gauge its ability to simulate long - term climate responses to solar variations.

Hansen, J.; Russell, G.; Lacis, A.; Fung, I.; Rind, D. & Stone, P. Climate Response Times: Dependence on Climate Sensitivity and Ocean Mixing Science, 1985, 229, 857 - 859.

Your assumptions are predicated on climate response models that are overly conservative.

The observationally constrained transient climate response at the time of doubling of atmospheric CO2 following a 1 % per year increase in CO2 was estimated by Stott et al. (2006c) to lie between 1.5 °C and 2.8 °C (Section 9.6.2, Figure 9.21).

An additional set of modelling uncertainties is introduced into climate scenarios through differences in the global and regional climate responses simulated by different AOGCMs for the same forcing.

This contributes to a spread of modelled climate response, particularly at high latitudes.

The inter-model correlation of transient climate response with ocean heat uptake efficacy is greater than its correlation with equilibrium climate sensitivity in an ensemble of climate models used for the 3rd and 4th IPCC assessments.

You're right that a climate sensitivity of 3 degrees is not derived from first principles, but from various observed climate responses (volcanoes, LGM, etc) a value not too far removed from 3 is deemed most likely.

The pattern and spatial gradients of forcing affect global and regional temperature responses as well as other aspects of climate response such as the hydrologic cycle.

GCMs often play a conservative role as a counterpoint to speculation or idealized modeling regarding «tipping points» or abrupt climate change, in favor of gradual, more linear climate response to external forcing.
