Sentences with phrase «external drivers of climate change»
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.

«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.»
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.
Not exact matches
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.
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.

Accurate assessment of the influence of external climate drivers requires explicit modelling of impact risk, not simply weather risk, so the project team works with impact modellers across Africa to assess the implications of our weather simulations for changing impact risk.
That is before we accept that there are uncontrollable, and unmodel - able external drivers to climate, such as the cycle 23/24 deep solar minimum, orbital changes, or catastrophic events like volcanos and meteorites that render these equations unsolvable to any reasonable degree of approximation.

In contrast, climate projections done with climate models are what - if statements about the statistical properties of the system for a given configuration (which can be changing in time) of external climate drivers.
