Sentences with phrase «constrained by the distribution»

And that's what the theory of the long tail predicts: that when supply is not constrained by distribution and storage factors, the overwhelming weight of demand shifts away from the «head» towards the «tail».

«We're assuming that the distribution of the species in the future will be constrained by the loss of their habitat,» said James Hatten, a biogeographer at USGS and author of the research.

All systems are constrained globally by conservation of energy but the possibility of local fluctuations depends on the amount of energy available locally, e.g. the distribution of energy in the system.

There can / will be local and regional, latitudinal, diurnal and seasonal, and internal variability - related deviations to the pattern (in temperature and in optical properties (LW and SW) from components (water vapor, clouds, snow, etc.) that vary with weather and climate), but the global average effect is at least somewhat constrained by the global average vertical distribution of solar heating, which requires the equilibrium net convective + LW fluxes, in the global average, to be sizable and upward at all levels from the surface to TOA, thus tending to limit the extent and magnitude of inversions.)

A Lacis: You don't seem to appreciate the fact that water vapor and clouds are feedback effects, which means that the water vapor and cloud distributions depend directly on the local meteorological conditions, and are therefore constrained by the temperature dependence of the Clausius - Clapeyron relation.

You don't seem to appreciate the fact that water vapor and clouds are feedback effects, which means that the water vapor and cloud distributions depend directly on the local meteorological conditions, and are therefore constrained by the temperature dependence of the Clausius - Clapeyron relation.

Models also differ significantly in the degree of CO2 fertilisation they allow, and the extent to which CO2 responses are constrained by nutrient availability; the extent to which CO2 concentrations affect the global distribution of C3 and C4 photosynthetic pathways; and the impacts of climate, CO2 and land management on the tree - grass balance.

Hi CH There are two major factor in global climatic changes (and I consider CO2 to be a minor one, taking place below the UHI)-- direct Sun - Earth link (TSI, electromagnetic, UV and particle radiation)-- Ocean heath storage (long term integration process) and distribution (ocean currents) Views of solar scientists (including Mike Lockwood) are constrained by their 1950's hero Eugene Parker's theories, which the latest discoveries often bring into question.

I think I might be responsible for that abuse of jargon; just meant to convey that the macrostate (globally averaged temperature) has a whole bunch of equi - probable (or as close as makes little difference given how under - constrained by measurement the system is) microstates (spatial distributions of temperature).

We calculate the surface forcing by soil dust aerosols and its global sensitivity by varying aspects of the dust distribution that are poorly constrained by observations.

Lewis argues that since we don't know how many species are currently constrained by climate alone (as opposed to, say, natural predators), we can't tell if today's distribution patterns reflect the true limit of the climate they're able to tolerate.

Probability distributions of TCR (expressed as warming at the time of CO2 doubling), as constrained by observed 20th - century temperature change, for the HadCM3 (Table 8.1, red), PCM (Table 8.1, green) and GFDL R30 (Delworth et al., 2002, blue) models.

The model consists of two components whose refractive indices resemble those of detritus - minerallike and planktonlike particles, whose size distributions are constrained by underwater light linear polarization signatures, and whose mixing ratios change as a function of particulate backscattering efficiency.

I would conclude that the broad probability distribution would include 2 - 8 C per doubling, falling off rapidly outside that, as constrained by models and paleo science.
