Sentences with phrase «decadal rate»

as in annualized decadal rate based on current year, plus and minus five?

We are comparing decadal rates with at least an order of magnitude centennial rates.

Ensemble decadal prediction simulations using the Community Earth System Model (CESM) can skillfully predict past decadal rates of Atlantic winter sea ice change because they do well at predicting THC - driven ocean heat content change in the vicinity of the winter sea ice edge in the Labrador, Greenland, Irminger, and Barents Seas.

Applying each to the «corrected» decadal rate from 1950 to 2009 (which is 0.092 °C / decade), yields 0.090 °C / dec (from Brohan et al.) and 0.078 °C / dec (from McKitrick and Michaels).

I think the easiest way to evaluate and «confirm» the background rate for any particular year would be to wait 5 years, then average the ppm increase for those 5 years, plus 5 more back and say, oh, the decadal rate for any given year is roughly #.

Adapted from Holgate, S.J., 2007: On the decadal rate of sea level change during the 20th century.

Decadal rate of sea level rise from satellites (red curve) appended to the decadal rate of global sea level rise as determined from a nine - station tide gauge network for the period 1904 — 2003 (blue curve) and from a 177 - station tide gauge network for the period 1948 — 2002 (magenta).

«WMO's report shows that global warming accelerated in the four decades of 1971 to 2010 and that the decadal rate of increase between 1991 - 2000 and 2001 - 2010 was unprecedented.»

More limited data suggest that stratospheric water vapor probably increased between 1980 and 2000, which would have enhanced the decadal rate of surface warming during the 1990s by about 30 % as compared to estimates neglecting this change.

This decadal rate of increase is higher than during any previous decade since direct atmospheric concentration measurements began in 1958.

Forster and Shine (1997) have also extended the computations back to 1964 using O3 changes deduced from surface - based observations; combining these with an assumption that the decadal rate of change of forcing from 1979 to 1991 was sustained to the mid-1990s yielded a total stratospheric O3 forcing of about -0.23 Wm - 2.

thingsbreak: And CW13 certainly does have a large impact on the 1998 - 2013 trends, it doubles the decadal rate.
