Sentences with phrase «flux response to temperature»

Spencer has shown, and this part is not controversial, that the presence of any radiative forcing decorrelates the flux response to temperature; more specifically any radiative forcing would make Dessler's 2010 zero - lag flux - temperature regression less useful than a bag of horse manure.

Not exact matches

[Response: weaker cosmic ray flux - > fewer low clouds - > decrease in sunlight reflected back to space), then you need to explain why the night temperatures appear to increase faster then day temperatures (for any amplification mechanism involving te albedo, you'd expect the opposite, as there is no sunlight to reflect on the dark side of the planet...).

(change in forcing from bottom to top of a layer = forcing of that layer; equilibrium temperature response of a layer changes the LW and convective fluxes to restore balance).

In this way, the response of LW fluxes (PR) and convection (CR) tend to spread the temperature response vertically from where forcings occur — not generally eliminating the effect of RF distribution over height, although in the case with convection driven by differential radiative heating within a layer, CR can to a first approximation evenly distribute a temperature response over such a layer.

Starting from an old equilbrium, a change in radiative forcing results in a radiative imbalance, which results in energy accumulation or depletion, which causes a temperature response that approahes equilibrium when the remaining imbalance approaches zero — thus the equilibrium climatic response, in the global - time average (for a time period long enough to characterize the climatic state, including externally imposed cycles (day, year) and internal variability), causes an opposite change in radiative fluxes (via Planck function)(plus convective fluxes, etc, where they occur) equal in magnitude to the sum of the (externally) imposed forcing plus any «forcings» caused by non-Planck feedbacks (in particular, climate - dependent changes in optical properties, + etc.).)

In some conditions, saturation can occur while holding temperatures steady, but the climate response can still change the fluxes — this won't generally add a significant net flux where optical thickness has brought the net flux to zero, but it can change the net flux at TOA even if the effect of optical thickness has been saturated at TOA, and the climatic response could «unsaturate» the effect at TOA by creating a thinner layer of different temperature.

(the temperature response to a forcing tends to be spread out from the location of that forcing, because the temperature change at one location changes the LW fluxes reaching other areas.

Responses of N2O fluxes to temperature, water table and N deposition in a northern fen.

With the lower net ocean to atmosphere heat flux during this La Niña like condition, it means measuring the climate response to GH forcing based on tropospheric temperatures alone is a weaker and less accurate measurment tool.

«c) the information content in the temperature and OHC series is not sufficient to allow accurate estimation of ECS and equilibration time; a flux response function with a very long tail (high ECS, high equilibration time) may give a result similar to the Schwartz exponential response function with a low ECS and low equilibration time.»

In a new paper, researchers conclude that changes in sensible heat transfer and evaporation fluxes — in response to strong regional trends in the air - surface temperature contrast related to the changing character of the sea ice cover — are becoming increasingly consequential to Arctic climate variability and change.

It does not matter whether the temperature change was externally forced or not — the CO2 flux is a direct response to the temperature change.

LC09 purported to determine climate sensitivity by examining the response of radiative fluxes at the Top - of - the - Atmosphere (TOA) to ocean temperature changes in the tropics.
