Sentences with phrase «equilibrium climate sensitivity distributions»

An updated estimate of the equilibrium climate sensitivity distribution (ECS)-- a measure of CO2's temperature impact — reduces the 2020 estimate of SCC by more than 40 percent; and

[7] Each individual estimate of the SCC is the realization of a Monte Carlo simulation based on a draw from an equilibrium climate sensitivity distribution to model the impact of CO2 emissions on temperature.

Not exact matches

New, relevant, readily available, and influential science on a topic considered to be a «key factor» in the determination of the SCC — the distribution of the estimated value of the equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS)-- was not included in the 2013 SCC update used in the final rulemaking.

This distribution, known as the equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS) distribution, statistically models the probability of different temperature increases caused by a doubling of CO2 emissions.

Regarding the example of the true sensitivity distribution of the black - box climate model: If the model were stochastic and path - dependent, it could be that different realizations would converge to different equilibrium temperatures for the same forcings.
