Sentences with phrase «decadal average»
"Decadal average" refers to the average value or measurement taken over a period of ten years. It helps to understand the overall trend or pattern that occurs during that particular decade. Full definition
Despite large year - to - year variability of temperature, decadal averages reveal isotherms (lines of a given average temperature) moving poleward at a typical rate of the order of 100 km / decade in the past three decades [101], although the range shifts for specific species follow more complex patterns [102].

Decadal averages are connected by straight lines.
One interesting thing that I think is left out when comparing the 1991 - 00 decadal average to the 2001 - 08 average is that 1991 - 00 was heavily influenced by the Pinatubo eruption of late 1991.
