The feel is more convincing, more coherent, and it slots in perfectly with games that have well - programmed
force feedback like Gran Turismo Sport.
Not exact matches
Some workers believe that the strength of the orbital
forcing is too small to trigger glaciations, but
feedback mechanisms
like CO2 may explain this mismatch.
The argument that water vapour is a
feedback, rather than a
forcing, seems to rest on the fact that it is condensable within a few days, rather than 100's of years
like CO2.
In contrast to this observational approach, Schmittner (as well as a number of other papers,
like reference # 4 in this post) take advantage of both models and observations, and try to use the observations to constrain which
feedback parameters in the model are consistent (e.g., an overly sensitive model with the same
forcings as another model will produce too big of a temperature change than observations allow).
If you missed out on the release of Onion
Force last month and you enjoy tower defense games, or if you simply appreciate beautifully animated characters bursting with personality, check out this freebie and if you
like it leave some
feedback in the game's forum thread and maybe tell a friend or two that this game exists.
The pressure
feedback from my brake pedal progressively increases as I apply more
force to it, but I'm able to push it until it feels
like it is stopped by a physical barrier (with engine running and while stopped).
You can
force through the
feedback if you really want to hit the car ahead, but I rather
liked this implementation of the technology.
An interesting note is that when you first crank the steering wheel over to initiate a turn, or just for centering purposes while driving down a straight road, you can feel a somewhat detached electric
force feedback motor -
like response come back into the wheel.
The very latest patch has racing wheel users in mind as it sees improvements to
force feedback including the addition of extra settings to help users calibrate
force feedback to their
liking (found in the options menu).
The game will again let players hit the the snow using the Wii Balance Board (which really needs
force feedback to throw people off when they fail miserably) in locations
like New York's Times Square, France, Canada and Japan all while trying to take down the world's best snowboarders.
The cool part is that
force feedback is finally supported on Logitech devices
like the G27 steering wheel, so those who have one at home can finally get the arcade cabinet experience.
The
force feedback on the Xbox One controller's triggers make it feel
like you really are in a car, and this is the best racing has been on consoles.
While it took me half an hour to perfect my settings in Project Cars 2, which thankfully allows you to adjust anything and everything to your
liking from
force feedback to button configuration, the options were lacking in titles
like Driveclub.
«H - Hour: World's Elite is truly a community - led project, with long - time fans of games
like Delta
Force and SOCOM already providing incredible
feedback and ideas to help shape the future gameplay and features of H - Hour,» said Tom Flanagan, Co-Owner and President, SOF Studios.
When playing a game
like Forza Horizon 3, there's nothing quite
like the feeling of a well - made
force feedback steering wheel, complete with a set of pedals to make the immersion of the game really take over.
One cool new feature introduced to the Star Wars play sets, following the positive
feedback from last years crossover coins, all the other Star Wars characters from the classic trilogy
like Darth Vader, Star Wars Rebels characters
like Ezra and the soon to be released,
Force Awakens characters will all be able to play within this play set after the player finds a coin for that specific character.
Even with a standard console controller, you get incredible
force -
feedback (somehow, for example, you can feel individual tyres passing over low kerbs and the
like), and the cars» attributes feel very different, yet utterly convincing.
Any
force feedback wheel will add a whole new dimension of fun to reasonably realistic racing games
like Forza Motorsport and Driveclub, but at the price these Thrustmasters are the obvious choice.
Meanwhile, the flaky
force feedback causes the handling to lack feeling — you can feel the bumps when you land a jump, but you never feel
like the car is truly connected to the surface.
[1] CO2 absorbs IR, is the main GHG, human emissions are increasing its concentration in the atmosphere, raising temperatures globally; the second GHG, water vapor, exists in equilibrium with water / ice, would precipitate out if not for the CO2, so acts as a
feedback; since the oceans cover so much of the planet, water is a large positive
feedback; melting snow and ice as the atmosphere warms decreases albedo, another positive
feedback, biased toward the poles, which gives larger polar warming than the global average; decreasing the temperature gradient from the equator to the poles is reducing the driving
forces for the jetstream; the jetstream's meanders are increasing in amplitude and slowing, just
like the lower Missippi River where its driving gradient decreases; the larger slower meanders increase the amplitude and duration of blocking highs, increasing drought and extreme temperatures — and 30,000 + Europeans and 5,000 plus Russians die, and the US corn crop, Russian wheat crop, and Aussie wildland fire protection fails — or extreme rainfall floods the US, France, Pakistan, Thailand (driving up prices for disk drives — hows that for unexpected adverse impacts from AGW?)
However, they can provide both positive and negative
forcing» and Ray # 252 «we understand extremely well the way greenhouse gasses [sic]
like CO2 warm the planet» So here we go — Assumptions from considerations of physics: Unless CO2 could enlist water vapour to amplify its
forcing it would simply be an unremarkable trace gas in the atmosphere, but — CO2 + water (vapour) = + ve
feedback implying warming CO2 + water (liquid) = - ve
feedback implying cooling Facts: Clouds cover half the surface of the planet.
On the possibility of a changing cloud cover «
forcing» global warming in recent times (assuming we can just ignore the CO2 physics and current literature on
feedbacks, since I don't see a contradiction between an internal radiative
forcing and positive
feedbacks), one would have to explain a few things,
like why the diurnal temperature gradient would decrease with a planet being warmed by decreased albedo... why the stratosphere should cool... why winters should warm faster than summers... essentially the same questions that come with the cosmic ray hypothesis.
All other changes (from
feedbacks), as you say, lead to larger «total amount of LW atmospheric absorption», which looks
like the same object as the one being
forced by «that initial change.»
So, it looks
like the distinction of which part of it comes from «initial
forcing», and which comes from «
feedbacks» is lost, it is just a new «amount».
Otherwise it's likely that some major negative
feedback,
like Lindzen's adaptive iris, or natural
forcing,
like solar output, would have turned up by now.
A clear answer to the question, and to the question of how much of the observed cooling is due to the above direct effect of the
forcings, and how much is due to
feedbacks,
like the conversion of CH4 in the stratosphere to H20 etc. would be welcome?
I want to know that convection
forcing is addressed, that convective
feedback is addressed, just
like radiative forcingas are addressed.
All the rest of the 1.5 - 4.5 degr.C increase is based on models and assumed
feedbacks like clouds and
forcings like aerosols, which are highly uncertain.
But seriously, I look at your use of terms
like «
forcing», and «
feedback», and «equilibrium climate sensitivity», and «CO2 control knob», and I feel sorta
like a modern redox chemist watching a bunch of biologists trying to study the cell by measuring its «phlogiston» characteristics.
Forcing is distinct from
feedbacks and internal cycles
like ENSO.
BBD, As relieved as we are a devout «believer» such as yourself is finally stumbling towards a grasp of the basic principles of radiative physics etc, you need to now start thinking about joining the adult discussions on vastly less clear problems
like the * size * of the AGW effect of AGW compared to natural
forces,
feedbacks etc..
There is something that looks
like a teeter - totter balancing
feedbacks and
forcings.
Forcings,
Feedbacks and plots that look Oh so scientific, almost
like real statistical analysis.
For independent
feedbacks (
like ozone formation and jet stream position + rain patterns), I don't see any interaction from other
forcings...
The THS is a major fingerprint of AGW and what is not understood by idiots
like NO is that a THS would be a product of water vapour
feedback and is not a first order
forcing; given that the lack of a THS is entirely consistent with the decline of water vapour levels in the mid to high troposphere.
Without this simplicity, there is little point in using concepts
like «
forcing» or «
feedback» to help us get our minds around the problem, or in trying to find simple observational constraints on the future climatic response to increasing CO2.
Stable systems,
like the ones that support life, exhibit a strong «negative
feedback» where any change in a
forcing causes something that tries to reduce the
forcing.
RIE, on the contrary it looks
like we agree on clouds being a
feedback and not a
forcing in themselves.
Sustained
forcings like we get from CO2 and all the positive
feedback reinforcements caused by elevated CO2 don't come back.
Burrows D. A., G. Chen and L. Sun (January 2017): Barotropic and Baroclinic Eddy
Feedbacks in the Midlatitude Jet Variability and Responses to Climate Change -
Like Thermal
Forcings.
Things
like assumptions about linearity (which means more or less, they make the mistake of assuming that all
forcings and
feedbacks operate at similar ratios and strengths when the planet is an iceball as they do when Earth hits a rare warm phase).
Climate scientists
like James E. Hansen predict that methane clathrates in the permafrost regions will be released because of global warming, unleashing powerful
feedback forces which may cause runaway climate change that can not be halted.
If the extra GHG
forcing is not accumulating in the climate system, as it seems, then the system behavior is different form what are postulating Hansen and the
like and negative
feedbacks are prevailing (or a negative
forcing of some sort is acting).
Since the CO2
forcing can account for much of 0.6 C increase, how do we know «instant» positive
feedbacks like water vapor will overwhelm negative
feedbacks before slightly longer timescale
feedbacks have a chance to kick in?
The
forcing aspect of the indirect effect at the top of the atmosphere is discussed in Chapter 2, while the processes that involve
feedbacks or interactions,
like the «cloud lifetime effect» [6], the «semi-direct effect» and aerosol impacts on the large - scale circulation, convection, the biosphere through nutrient supply and the carbon cycle, are discussed here.
With regard to radiative
forcings and positive
feedbacks, I would
like to draw your attention to http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v463/n7280/edsumm/e100128-07.html
It sounds
like they are going after the «all
feedbacks are positive» hypothesis that elevates CO2
forcing alone (+1 K) to the claimed +3 K for a doubling of pre-industrial levels of CO2.
The trackpad is also new, with haptic
feedback and
force sensors, adding a new «
force click» option, so a deep press in the trackpad allows for different options depending on the software interface, much
like a right - click does.
Such a home button would be flush with the body of the iPhone and would not actually depress when a finger is placed on it.Instead, when a user presses on the home button, haptic
feedback will mimic a press, much
like the
Force Touch trackpad on Apple's most recent MacBooks.
Like Force Touch, 3D Touch offers tactile
feedback on your interactions.
