The researchers
used complex climate modeling software to simulate changes in forest cover and then examined the effects on global climate.
Governments invest fewer resources tracking and
reporting complex climate indicators for deforestation and agricultural activity than is the case for the energy sector.
Much of the fear of global warming, now called climate change, stems from long - term projections that use
complex climate models.
The report calls for a number of needed changes in management, structure, procedure, and communications, to strengthen the IPCC in producing
complex climate change assessments and to forestall further damage to the organization's perceived credibility.
This broad spectrum of yet - to - be-determined choices adds yet more uncertainty to what are perhaps the
most complex climate negotiations in history.
This shows that the expansion of grasslands isn't solely due to drought, but more
complex climate factors are at work, both for modern Africans now and ancient Africans in the Pleistocene.
Previous proofs have relied
on complex climate models, but this proof doesn't need such models — just careful observations of the land, ocean and atmospheric gases.»
These models aim to incorporate
complex climate phenomena such as the fine structures of clouds, atmospheric rivers and ocean eddies.
Beyond that, it appears that I am a challenge for alarmists because they couldn't say I wasn't qualified, although they tried, and I was able to explain
complex climate science in ways the public understood.
When they look at climate changes in the distant past (paleoclimate), and at simulations
from complex climate models, they get about the same result: if the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere doubles, temperatures will rise between 2 °C and 4.5 °C, most likely 3 °C.
And what we see is both
how complex climate changes can be and how profound an effect changing patterns of ocean circulation can have on global climate states, if looked at on a geological time scale.»
But turning to the more
complex climate issue, he added, «And then later this year, hopefully late this summer, do the global warming part of it.»
«This paper is another example of how
surprisingly complex the climate system is, how interrelated or interconnected all the parts are, and how difficult it is to model correctly.»
«This cooling reduced precipitation over Africa, and in combination with a range of
other complex climate feedback mechanisms tipped the humid system towards aridification,» explains the first author of the study, James Collins from Helmholtz Centre Potsdam — GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences and Alfred Wegener Institute — Helmholtz Center for Polar and Marine Research (AWI) in Bremerhaven.
They compared the empirical data to the model simulations of the MJO, where much of the MJO processes are currently represented with parameterizations, a way to
express complex climate systems in a computationally efficient way.
Since the actual global temperature may soon be unusable to prove their theory, look for more analogies of the earth's
super complex climate... to beakers and Bunsen burners.
To answer this question climatologists
develop complex climate models, which have to consider all the natural variables that affect climate.
Global warming affects all the parts of our
incredibly complex climate system, so it's entirely possible that as the Earth (and the oceans) warm, some factors that help stunt cyclones» growth will increase, as well as ones that help feed them and make them grow.
That is raising speculation that lawmakers and the Obama administration may go for a «Plan B» next year that involves passage of a general energy bill without its most
complex climate elements.
The method preferred by the GWPF report, and that which Lewis has used in his own papers, involves estimating climate sensitivity using a combination of recent instrumental temperature data (including ocean heat content data),
less complex climate models, and statistics.
Producing these climatologies requires an interpolation model that can account for the effects of our varied topography and
complex climate regimes.
While the sun still is not the only factor driving the
mercilessly complex climate, clearly solar activity in red was higher in the latter half of the century when temperatures in green were rising.
