Sentences with phrase «corrected temperature observations»

Using updated and corrected temperature observations taken at thousands of weather observing stations over land and as many commercial ships and buoys at sea, the researchers show that temperatures in the 21st century did not plateau, as thought.

Not exact matches

If this interpretation of the observations is correct, it could confirm a 30 - year - old prediction of the cosmic inflation theory: that the simplest models of inflation can generate an observable level of gravitational waves, comparable to density or temperature fluctuations in the early universe.

Based on the same observation one could argue that the hockeystick methodology is correct to pick out the bristlecones because it is the only proxy that shows a climate signal consistent with a 20th century rise in temperature as measured by meteorological stations.

The issue of tropospheric temperature amplification remains to be completely resolved, but disparities between predictions and observations have diminished as instrument biases have been corrected, and it is not unreasonable to expect that further improvements in instrumentation accuracy will largely eliminate the remaining disparities.

Christy is correct to note that the model average warming trend (0.23 °C / decade for 1978 - 2011) is a bit higher than observations (0.17 °C / decade over the same timeframe), but that is because over the past decade virtually every natural influence on global temperatures has acted in the cooling direction (i.e. an extended solar minimum, rising aerosols emissions, and increased heat storage in the deep oceans).

Compare the SAR and the TAR for example, and since then we have many more proxy reconstructions to consider, the satellite analyses corrected, new data about energy imbalances, better observations of ocean currents and temperature, ice sheet behaviour in Greenland and Antarctica and much much more.

The value of 2015 was corrected for a small bias in the mean december temperature and a bias in the variability, which is 20 % lower in the model than in the observations.

Differences between the regression slope and the true feedback parameter are significantly reduced when 1) a more realistic value for the ocean mixed layer depth is used, 2) a corrected standard deviation of outgoing radiation is used, and 3) the model temperature variability is computed over the same time interval as the observations.

RSS pointed out a significant error in UAH's temperature analysis caused by a failure to accurately correct for the effects of orbital decay on observations across multiple satellites.

The authors use a sea surface temperature data set that has been corrected for biases in sea surface data that arise due to the difference in measurements from ships and buoys, and the authors incorporate a much larger amount of data from land - based observations.

When corrected, the range of likely warming based on surface temperature observations is in line with earlier estimates, despite the recent slowdown.
