Sentences with phrase «decadal scale»

The same can not be said of decadal scale temperature spikes on Earth.

We document a deeper aragonite saturation horizon and higher near surface aragonite saturation state in the summers of 2014 and 2015 (compared with 2010 — 2013), associated with anomalous warm conditions and decadal scale oscillations.

It doesn't seem surprising to me that GCM simulations don't give useful decadal predictions on regional scale (or at least they are just beginning to get to the point where decadal scale predictions have useful skill IIRC).

«These campaigns are going to help us better predict the changes we may see on seasonal scales, and even decadal scales.»

The complication arises from chaos and decadal scale internal variability in the climate models, which was the topic of a recent post.

However, it is inadequate to detect decadal scale cycles.

Yet then after that you say, with apparent complete confidence, that on a (multi)- decadal scale instrumental records show a positive trend.

2) Most work since 1998 shows more decadal scale variance but is broadly in line with Mann et al. (see above)

climate impacts on decadal scale less important than population, land use and degradation (and how do you separate the four????); regions that adapt to current weather extremes and population will be better able to deal with any additional stresses from climate changes (apparently current stresses have nothing to do with climate)»

Much of the inter-annual to decadal scale variability in surface air temperature (SAT) anomaly patterns and related ecosystem effects in the Arctic and elsewhere can be attributed to the superposition of leading modes of variability in the atmospheric circulation.

The researchers found that the rainfall predicted for East Africa on a decadal scale by models using the effects of the El Niño Southern Oscillation and the Indian Ocean Dipole did not account for as much of the rainfall fluctuations as expected for the past 34 years.

But, in contrast with the El Niño Southern Oscillation index [12], the NAO and PDO operate on decadal scales, causing extended periods of high or low population abundance [5], [7].

Although Be10 records do not show great correlation below the decadal scale (but they will show the 11 year cycle if taken at annual resolution) they start to show much better agreement at 30 + yr timescales and in identifying large events.

Although I might not take it for granted that the horizontal homogeneity of temperature due to the dynamic adjustment in the tropics would guarantee the horizontally uniform temperature changes in the decadal scale, the data do show it!
