Sentences with phrase «decadal basis»

Of course, we know TOA fluxes must continue to warm globally on a decadal basis because we have OHC data.

It is also important to note that the models are not designed to project climate on a decadal basis, but on a centennial basis, where the effects of internal variability can more reasonably be expected to average out.

To keep those error outliers small, I tried to reconstruct the data to a decadal base line, which is still adequate and reduces error outliers, as you can see here in Fig. 1

Variability of our climate on a decadal basis is considerable and is even greater on an annual basis.

As you can see in the first graph sudden and noticeable climate change on a decadal basis is very common.

The referenced study noted that our climate changes frequently when calculated on an annual and decadal basis, in fact virtually no decade is like its predecessor or successor.

Looking at the complete CET instrumental record we can note that the anomaly difference on a decadal basis in this temperate country ranges from around -1.3 C several decades after its instrumental start in 1659 to around plus 0.8 c around the year 2000 (i.e. total variability of some 2.1 degrees C).

Perhaps even more remarkable is that despite these climate oscillations, temperatures on a decadal basis remain bounded within the tight limits noted of -1.3 to 0.8 C so giving a remarkable constancy of around 2 degrees C throughout the near 500 year record.

Some researchers took the news calmly: in a global climate that varied daily, seasonally, annually and on a decadal basis, there was no guarantee of an inexorably steady climb in global averages, they said.
