Sentences with phrase «feedback climate sensitivity obtained»

In this essay, Planck response means no - feedback climate sensitivity obtained with the fixed absolute humidity.

Not exact matches

To obtain a likelihood function by estimating the climate feedback parameter and then to present it as a likelihood function in climate sensitivity, a reciprocal parameter, alongside other likelihoods that may have been derived in the sensitivity parameter space, seems to me misleading.

One empirical analysis of the type of F+G 06 does not tell that the climate feedback parameter Y is 2.3 ± 1.4 W m ^ -2 K ^ -1 with 95 % certaintyor that the equilibrium climate sensitivity is in the corresponding range 1.0 — 4.1 K. Those limits are obtained only, when the additional assumption of uniform prior in Y is made.

[*] You had said: «is based purely on observational evidence, with no dependence on any climate model simulations... to obtain a direct measure of the overall climate response or feedback parameter... Measuring radiative flux imbalances provides a direct measure of Y, and hence of S, unlike other ways of diagnosing climate sensitivity.»

Empirical assessment of fast - feedback climate sensitivity is obtained by comparing two quasi-equilibrium climate states for which boundary condition climate forcings (which may be slow feedbacks) are known.

I am particularly grateful to Professors David Douglass and Robert Knox for having patiently answered many questions over several weeks, and for having allowed me to present a seminar on some of these ideas to a challenging audience in the Physics Faculty at Rochester University, New York; to Dr. David Evans for his assistance with temperature feedbacks; to Professor Felix Fitzroy of the University of St. Andrews for some vigorous discussions; to Professor Larry Gould and Dr. Walter Harrison for having given me the opportunity to present some of the data and conclusions on radiative transfer and climate sensitivity at a kindly - received public lecture at Hartford University, Connecticut; to Dr. Joanna Haigh of Imperial College, London, for having supplied a crucial piece of the argument; to Professor Richard Lindzen of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for his lecture - notes and advice on the implications of the absence of the tropical mid-troposphere «hot - spot» for climate sensitivity; to Dr. Willie Soon of the Harvard Center for Astrophysics for having given much useful advice and for having traced several papers that were not easily obtained; and to Dr. Roy Spencer of the University of Alabama at Huntsville for having answered several questions in connection with satellite data.

If you wanted to obtain the radiative forcing and no - feedbacks climate sensitivity most relevant to the surface, which cells would you pick and why?

That's one of the many reasons why I believe that when taking the natural dynamics of the climate — and especially water and its circulation — properly into account, we obtain a lower result than the no - water no - feedback sensitivity, whatever the latter exactly is.
