Sentences with phrase «current warming relative»

This is based on Schurer's 5th - 95th percentile range of current warming relative to the late - 1800s, using the Cowtan and Way temperature record corrected for the difference between sea surface temperature and surface air temperature warming rates.

Not exact matches

This would not give us a more informative an answer about what the relative attribution of the 20th century warming is, but would perhaps give us a range on what it could be, given our current lack of knowledge and understanding.

Current state - of - the - art climate models predict that increasing water vapor concentrations in warmer air will amplify the greenhouse effect created by anthropogenic greenhouse gases while maintaining nearly constant relative humidity.

Is it not the case that if the relative lack of El Niño's and predominance of La Nina's is in fact due to global warming, rather than natural variability, then the current increase in the rate of warming of the ocean below 700m may continue.

Because the long - term warming trends are highly significant relative to our estimates of the magnitude of natural variability, the current decadal period of stable global mean temperature does nothing to alter a fundamental conclusion from the AR4: warming has unequivocally been observed and documented.

And at last, the Norwegian Current, the Spitsbergen Current and the East Iceland Current carry warm, relative saline waters into the Arctic seas.

That's about 10 years worth of current emissions from existing power plants alone, and enough to put a big dent in the remaining budget of emissions we can dump into the atmosphere and still have a reasonable chance of avoiding 2 degrees C of warming relative to the preindustrial era.

The effect of the mistakes was to make it appear that the MWP wasn't as warm relative to current temperatures as it'd previously seemed to be.

Note that the calendar - year means tend to fall a bit below a preceding maximum in the 12 - month running mean, so the 2016 mean will probably fall a bit below the current +1.3 °C warming relative to 1880 - 1920.

You have to go a very, very long way around the facts to call it questionable or preconceived that the current level of global temperature today is warm relative to the later part of Marcott's reconstruction.

There are three distinct warmer periods relative to the current warmer period.

We consider several important climate impacts and use evidence from current observations to assess the effect of 0.8 °C warming and paleoclimate data for the effect of larger warming, especially the Eemian period, which had global mean temperature about +2 °C relative to pre-industrial time.

That is inconsistent with his current account, based on which natural warming due precession of the perihelion relative to the equinox should guaranttee that for quite some time.

The most recent trough in solar activity likely plays a role in depressing short - term trends, and the overall decline in total solar irradiance (TSI) in recent years relative to past solar cycles may be a small contributing factor in the current slow - down in the rate of warming.

Due to the way in which these various cycles have been relative constant over the last 35 million years, the earth has settled into a relatively recent cycle of approximately 100,000 year long declining climates and ice ages, and brief 12,000 - 18,000 year long warm spells we call inter-glacial periods like our current Holocene.

Current models suggest ice mass losses increase with temperature more rapidly than gains due to increased precipitation and that the surface mass balance becomes negative (net ice loss) at a global average warming (relative to pre-industrial values) in excess of 1.9 to 4.6 °C.

Current observations are, I believe, consistent with these principles, in that as the climate has warmed, atmospheric water has increased, but continues to play «catch up» in that relative humidity has tended to decline slightly.
