Sentences with phrase «equilibrium climate sensitivity depends»

Meanwhile, the inferred equilibrium climate sensitivity depends directly and indirectly on thousands of kinds of data that may be revised later.

Not exact matches

Depending on meridional heat transport, when freezing temperatures reach deep enough towards low - latitudes, the ice - albedo feedback can become so effective that climate sensitivity becomes infinite and even negative (implying unstable equilibrium for any «ice - line» (latitude marking the edge of ice) between the equator and some other latitude).

But of course the pace of the temperature trend also depends on the global future emissions outlook and on remaining uncertainties surrounding climate sensitivity — or the politically most relevant metric «Equilibrium Climate Sensitivity» (ECS), the amount of warming expected on a decades timescale after doubling of the atmospheric CO2 concentclimate sensitivity — or the politically most relevant metric «Equilibrium Climate Sensitivity» (ECS), the amount of warming expected on a decades timescale after doubling of the atmospheric CO2 consensitivity — or the politically most relevant metric «Equilibrium Climate Sensitivity» (ECS), the amount of warming expected on a decades timescale after doubling of the atmospheric CO2 concentClimate Sensitivity» (ECS), the amount of warming expected on a decades timescale after doubling of the atmospheric CO2 conSensitivity» (ECS), the amount of warming expected on a decades timescale after doubling of the atmospheric CO2 concentration.

As for the LGM, equilibrium climate sensitivity estimates depend strongly on the temperature data used.

The IPCC AR4 states that equilibrium climate sensitivity is likely (> 66 %) to lie in the range 2 — 4.5 C and very unlikely (< 10 %) to lie below 1.5 C. Annan and Hargreaves demonstrate that the the widely - used approach of a uniform prior fails to adequately represent «ignorance» and generates rather pathological results which depend strongly on the selected upper bound.

«Results imply that global and regional warming rates depend sensitively on regional ocean processes setting the [ocean heat uptake] pattern, and that equilibrium climate sensitivity can not be reliably estimated from transient observations.»
