Sentences with phrase «describing mean surface»

There are an increasing number of gridded global (e.g., Leemans and Cramer, 1991; New et al., 1999) and national (e.g., Kittel et al., 1995, 1997; Frei and Schär, 1998) climate data sets describing mean surface climate, although few describe inter-annual climate variability (see Kittel et al., 1997; Xie and Arkin, 1997; New et al., 2000).

Not exact matches

Cahill is basically loyal to the New Testament witness, but he often relies on the discipline (it is not a science) of history, notably a particular school of interpretation, to shape his account of events whose inner and transcendent source confers what he himself describes as «a meaning beyond the chaotic surface of events.»

It turns out that Earth's rotation and the presence of oceans and atmosphere on its surface mean it can be described as a «topological insulator» — a term usually reserved for quantum phenomena.

In physical geography, the term hydrosphere (Greek hydro means «water») describes the collective mass of water found on, under, and over a planet's surface.

Abstract:» The sensitivity of global climate with respect to forcing is generally described in terms of the global climate feedback — the global radiative response per degree of global annual mean surface temperature change.

The first and last lines include the word «heart,» and I think that they have a double meaning: aside from the surface meaning, they also describe our attempt and failure as humans to truly connect with each other.

Working in a mixture of commercial house paint and alkyd medium to create a multi-layered surface, the artist combines bold color and grand scale, employing a geometry that obfuscates meaning even as it seems to describe the workings of a complex system.

Abstract:» The sensitivity of global climate with respect to forcing is generally described in terms of the global climate feedback — the global radiative response per degree of global annual mean surface temperature change.

A similar mismatch between LIG - 120 mean annual surface temperature (MAT) simulation and proxy data is also described by Otto - Bliesner et al. 21.

Testimony to this assumption is the term that has been employed for more than a century to describe the radiation in all wavelengths received from the Sun: the so - called «solar constant,» whose value at the mean Sun - Earth distance is a little over 1 1/3 kilowatts per square meter of surface.

Global temperatures usually are described in terms of the surface air temperature anomaly, the deviation of the temperature at each site from a mean of many years that is averaged over the whole world, both land and oceans.

Even the meaning of 2C is poorly described [e.g. the temperature at what level near the surface (2m, etc)?

None of this has any bearing whatsoever on mean planetary surface temperatures which are supported by the autonomous gravitationally induced temperature gradient which results from the process described in statements of the Second Law of Thermodynamics in which thermodynamic equilibrium evolves spontaneously.

These linear discriminants, which consist of an RASST anomaly field and a time series that describes the projection of that anomaly in the annual mean RASST field, maximize the ratio of inter-decadal to inter-annual variability, in keeping with our desire to understand the decadal - to - century scale variability in the global mean surface temperatures (see SI Text and Figs.

The case for the strength of the AMOC playing an important role in setting the rate of heat uptake by the oceans and the degree of disequilibrium in global mean surface temperature is made in particular by Winton et al 2014 and Kostov et al 2013, who describe two rather different perspectives on why you should expect a relationship between these two quantities.

By this I do not mean that radiative considerations could describe well all processes involved but that it is possible that the other processes are constrained to operate in such a way that the worming of the earth surface is to a reasonable accuracy determined by the radiative constraint.

The difference in appearance here is somewhat subtle and hard to describe; it basically means that the image doesn't appear as seamlessly on the surface of the device as the image on the iPad Pro.

Then, you will be required to add a short introduction where you need to describe what the Surface Supervisor means for you.
