Sentences with phrase «equilbrium climate»

For example, a look at table 8.2 shows that equilbrium climate sensitivity 2xCO2 is 2,1 °C for PCM or INM - CM 3.0 and 4,4 °C for IPSL - CM4 or UKMO - HadGEM1.

Starting from an old equilbrium, a change in radiative forcing results in a radiative imbalance, which results in energy accumulation or depletion, which causes a temperature response that approahes equilibrium when the remaining imbalance approaches zero — thus the equilibrium climatic response, in the global - time average (for a time period long enough to characterize the climatic state, including externally imposed cycles (day, year) and internal variability), causes an opposite change in radiative fluxes (via Planck function)(plus convective fluxes, etc, where they occur) equal in magnitude to the sum of the (externally) imposed forcing plus any «forcings» caused by non-Planck feedbacks (in particular, climate - dependent changes in optical properties, + etc.).)
