Sentences with phrase «declining phase»

They have often had precipitous decline phases.

As this late maximum comes more than 5 years after the preceding minimum in December 2008, cycle 24 must have now entered its long declining phase, as none of the past observed cycles had longer delays between minimum and maximum.

«We have very strong indications that wind project costs and wind project pricing are entering a steep decline phase,» Wiser said, «making wind steeply more economically competitive.»

Certainly giving large contracts to players at or nearing their decline phase is a risk, and occasionally can be exceedingly terrible deals.

«Some of the largest historic events have occurred near solar maximum and during the declining phase following solar max,» says Harlan Spence, principal investigator for ECT (which includes Baker's REPT and is the basis for Reeves» work), from the University of New Hampshire.

That distinguishes this solar cycle from the preceding two and «suggests that the declining phase of solar cycle 23 is behaving differently to previous solar cycles,» the team wrote.

Now new satellite measurements reveal that from 2004 to 2007 — the declining phase of an unusually low and prolonged solar minimum — the sun put out even less ultraviolet light than expected but compensated by putting out more visible light.

More importantly, during the declining phase of the solar maximum high - speed streams develop in the solar wind that is made up of plasma that flows from the sun.

This is why picking stocks that are trending upward in price gives you a better chance of finding timely, winning stocks than buying stocks in a declining phase.

As the Met Office explains, «There is no doubt that the declining phase of the 11 - year cycle of total solar irradiance has contributed to a reduction in incoming energy over the first decade of the 21st century, but still not enough to explain the pause in global surface temperature rise.»

Aims.We present a reconstruction of total solar irradiance (TSI) back to 1974, i.e. from the minimum of cycle 21 to the declining phase of cycle 23.

Daily measurements of the solar spectrum between 0.2 µm and 2.4 µm, made by the Spectral Irradiance Monitor (SIM) instrument on the Solar Radiation and Climate Experiment (SORCE) satellite3 since April 2004, have revealed4 that over this declining phase of the solar cycle there was a four to six times larger decline in ultraviolet than would have been predicted on the basis of our previous understanding.

The smaller net increase in anthropogenic forcing is accompanied by a 0.18 W / m2 decline in solar insolation caused by the declining phase of the eleven year solar cycle, such that the sum of modeled forcings increases little after 1998 and declines after 2002 (Fig. 1).

The computed TSI is then compared with the PMOD composite of TSI measurements and with the data from two individual instruments, SORCE / TIM and UARS / ACRIM II, that monitored the TSI during the declining phase of cycle 23 and over the previous minimum in 1996, respectively.

Recent satellite data have revealed, however, that there seems to be a surprising spectral component to solar variability, at least in the declining phase of the current solar cycle: UV radiation decreases strongly while visible radiation increases.

The warmest months of 2016 occurred in the declining phase of a strong El Niño, which also influenced temperatures in 2015, making 2017 the warmest year on record that was not influenced by an El Niño.

In a statistical sense the sunspot numbers recorded at the time of the proposed new cycle minimum are extremely untypical for other minima in the solar cycle record, but quite usual for the declining phase of the solar cycle.
