The current generation of global atmospheric models in
use for climate studies around the world do some things remarkably well, as I've tried to argue in several earlier posts.
It gives the impression that we're getting rich collecting grant
money for climate studies (or any other research, for that matter).
The effort * isn't * to «start collecting» — it's to make the current collection of weather data * better * and more
useful for climate studies.
Spencer is a scientist at the University of Alabama - Huntsville and a former senior scientist
for climate studies at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center.
Dr. Roy Spencer, who served as senior
scientist for climate studies at NASA before taking his current post as principal research scientist at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, said he was «embarrassed by the scientific community's behavior on the subject.»
However, a barrier still exists between faculty and nonfaculty at universities, as Paula Hennon, program manager for the North Carolina
Institute for Climate Studies at North Carolina State University in Asheville, attests.
The mission would have studied solar irradiance, aerosols, and clouds — all of which are important
data for climate studies.
Spencer, since leaving his position as Senior Scientist
for Climate Studies for NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, has been the Principal Research Scientist at the University of Alabama in Huntsville and has been funded by various government agencies, including the Department of Energy.
Absolute values of the difference for realistic cases are less than 0.05 W / m ^ 2 / K, which is not
significant for climate studies that employ regressions of outgoing radiation against temperature.
At NPL, we are proposing a low - cost, small satellite mission to help set
benchmarks for climate studies and to achieve tenfold improvement over previous measurements.
Though there are many caves, only a small number have the best
conditions for climate study, including 100 percent relative humidity, constant temperatures, no cave winds, and the actual stalagmites — free of holes and decay — forming in the cave.
There are unfortunately a great many people named «John Wegner» who show up in a Google
search for climate studies, from a lot of different places; I can't figure out whether you're talking about your own publication or something you read.
Dr. Trenberth, who works at one of the world's leading centers for climate simulation, said that research priorities there and at other
hubs for climate studies remain tilted toward basic — and important — questions like how sensitive the climate system is to the influence from the building greenhouse effect.
Because this is an implicit target for any climate model development and tuning, the selection of such subjective criteria mimics a suite of models, which will be treated by other modellers as
suitable for climate studies.
They went on to select input parameters for the box model based on observations, computed the difference for those conditions, and asserted that there is a significant
bias for climate studies.
The SSC named Francis for the award «in recognition of his pioneering research at the intersection of climate science and statistics; for his fundamental contributions to the development of statistical
methods for climate studies; for his national and international achievements in climate science; and for his outstanding record of public service.»
The research may have implications not
only for climate studies, but our understanding of the evolution of life on Earth, and the evolution of the Solar System.
Others, such as those at the United Kingdom's Hadley
Center for Climate Studies, say that the Earth's temperature is not much different now than it was 50 or 100 years ago.
The original headline of this story was changed because it incorrectly identified
backers for the climate study and inferred that the Charles Koch Charitable Foundation would not have helped to fund the study if it had known what the findings would be.
Dr. Roy Spencer Dr. Spencer was a senior scientist
for climate studies at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, where he and Dr. John Christy received NASA's Exceptional Scientific Achievement Medal for their global temperature monitoring work with satellites.
This book's dust jacket tells us he holds a PhD in meteorology, has been a Senior
Scientist for Climate Studies at NASA, and is co-developer of «the original satellite method for precise monitoring of global temperatures from Earth - orbiting satellites.»
«The number of heavy events has continued to be well above average over the last couple of years, maintaining the upward trend,» Ken Kunkel, a climate scientist with the North Carolina
Institute for Climate Studies and N.C. State University, said in an email.
Lee, A. Loew and G. Magnusdottir, 2011: Globally gridded satellite (GridSat) observations
for climate studies.
For climate studies, values above about 55 °C (131 °F) are not of interest.
However, these daily images are not meant to be used
for climate studies or for inferring anything longer than seasonal trends.
Dr Roy Spencer, former senior scientist
for Climate studies at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center, and current principal research scientist for the University of Alabama in Huntsville, reports that 2015 will not be «The Hottest Year Ever» despite a strong El Niño....
