Sentences with phrase «feedback sensitivity tell»

Not exact matches

I'm not even an amateur climate scientist, but my logic tells me that if clouds have a stronger negative feedback in the Arctic, and I know (from news) the Arctic is warming faster than other areas, then it seems «forcing GHGs» (CO2, etc) may have a strong sensitivity than suggested, but this is suppressed by the cloud effect.

Beckage tells us that the uncertainty from human feedback comes close to the uncertainty scientists still have in the physical systems (things like permafrost melt, climate sensitivity, and all that).

Thus if this tells us that sensitivity is near 3 degrees, and that is close to the model estimates, we can have some confidence that we have captured the main feedbacks.

CO2 is a greenhouse gas and physics tells us that the minimum sensitivity to a doubling of CO2 with water vapor feedback is 2 degrees celsius.

... Energy budget is really worrisome; we should have had 20 years of ERBE [Earth Radiation Budget Experiment] type data by now - this would have told us about cloud feedback and climate sensitivity.

As you say, we have all been sold a pup because the IPCC can not admit to what the data collected these past 40 years is clearly telling us, namely that there can not be strong positive feedbacks, the assumptions underpinning that assumption must be wrong, and that Climate Sensitivity can at the very most exceed the no feedback scenario by just a smidgen.

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.

The change in effective radiative temperature is obtained by Stefan - Boltzmann law from the radiative forcing and it's telling the order of magnitude of related warming as well as the «no - feedback sensitivity» does.

Self - similarity might then tell you to divide the calculated temperature based on the fast feedback sensitivity by about 2 as one would now.
