Sentences with phrase «external drivers»

But they have yet to design a heart, atomic or not, that works long - term within the confines of the human body and doesn't require external drivers or batteries.

It is only over the longer time scales (decades) that the additional predictability that comes from external drivers of climate change (for instance, carbon dioxide, air pollution and ozone depletion) can start to be useful — but that's another post.

The new evidence may finally help put the chill on skeptics» belief that long - term global warming occurs in an unpredictable manner, independently of external drivers such as human impacts.

The solar UV irradiance from the thermosphere of Saturn and the solar wind are the most probable sources to account for the long - term variability of the electron radiation belts (Roussos et al. 2014), suggesting that external drivers play indeed an important role in Saturn's magnetospheric dynamics.

The variable radiative output of the Sun is a prime external driver of the Earth's climate system.

It is only over the longer time scales (decades) that the additional predictability that comes from external drivers of climate change (for instance, carbon dioxide, air pollution and ozone depletion) can start to be useful — but that's another post.

The Raising Risk Awareness project seeks to assess the contribution of anthropogenic climate change and other external drivers (e.g.» El Niño») to the occurrence of extreme weather events in developing countries in East Africa and South East Asia, and identify how such information could help to bridge the science - communications policy gap, and enable these countries and communities to become more climate resilient.

«This peatland ecosystem is changing in response to environmental change and external drivers,» he said.

[1] Currently, many luxury makers also allow the windows to be opened or closed by pressing and holding a button on the remote control key fob, or by inserting the ignition key and holding it in the lock or unlock position in the external driver's door lock.

But the crucial thing is that these residuals have small trends compared to the trends from the external drivers.

And given the inherent unpredictability of the internal modes of climate variability — as distinct from the external control imposed by the external drivers of climate, which themselves are also uncertain — such attribution statements will always be subject to uncertainty and therefore probabilistic.

«Radiative forcing Radiative forcing is the change in the net, downward minus upward, radiative flux (expressed in W m — 2) at the tropopause or top of atmosphere due to a change in an external driver of climate change, such as, for example, a change in the concentration of carbon dioxide or the output of the Sun.»

The important point for this discussion is that radiative forcings are only those changes in TOA energy flux due to external drivers, ie, those not effected by climate variables such as (particularly) temperture and (also) precipitation, wind velocity etc; at least not on the time scale of interest.

To demonstrate the importance of accurate attribution of any changes in weather risks for adaptation planning, to avoid «adapting to yesterday's problems» as the balance of external drivers changes over the coming decades.

The problem, of course, is that we don't understand all the internal and external drivers to any reasonable specificity to make those kinds of claims — asserted human impacts are unscientifically divined by creating fudge factors that make models fit, without actually * knowing * how realistic those models are (or more to the point, * knowing * how unrealistic those models are.

With the help of the so called «Monte - Carlo - Simulation» the coastal researchers Dr. Eduardo Zorita and Professor Hans von Storch at the GKSS - Research Centre together with Professor Thomas Stocker from the University of Bern estimated that it is extremely unlikely that the frequency of warm record years after 1990 could be an accident and concluded that it is rather influenced by a external driver.

The Raising Risk Awareness project seeks to assess the contribution of anthropogenic climate change and other external drivers (e.g.» El Niño») to the occurrence of extreme weather events in developing countries in East Africa and South East Asia, and identify how such information could help to bridge the science - communications policy gap, and enable these countries and communities to become more climate resilient.

Radiative forcing - Radiative forcing is the change in the net, downward minus upward, irradiance (expressed in W m - 2) at the tropopause due to a change in an external driver of climate change, such as, for example, a change in the concentration of carbon dioxide or the output of the Sun.

A major focus of this work is to explore the propagation of uncertainty from external drivers to actual impacts of climate change on time - scales of up to 30 years.

We also identify coherence between the Atlantic multidecadal oscillation and Northern Hemisphere temperature variations, leading us to conclude that the apparent link between Atlantic multidecadal variability and regional to hemispheric climate does not arise solely from a common response to external drivers, and may instead reflect dynamic processes.
