Sentences with phrase «glacier model»

To better understand what Kilimanjaro and other tropical glaciers are telling us about climate change, one ultimately ought to drive a set of tropical glacier models with GCM simulations conducted with and without anthropogenic forcing (greenhouse gases and sulfate aerosol).

It's not the last word, as Gavin notes, but further refinements (which could be higher or lower than 2m by 2100) await more science at both GIS and WAIS, glacier physics, and more comprehensive glacier modeling, which simply requires more time.

Jarosch, A.H., F.S. Anslow, and G.K.C. Clarke (2010) High - resolution precipitation and temperature downscaling for glacier models.

Darwin's admission of gigantic blundering came only in 1861, two decades after Agassiz proposed his glacier model, decades that Darwin spent clinging to his increasingly unlikely theory of sea beaches with a very un-Darwinian stubbornness.

The similarities and differences between their use in CFD analysis and the proposed application of these methods to glacier modeling are discussed.

Gregory and Oerlemans (1998) applied local seasonal temperature changes over 1860 to 1990 calculated by the HadCM2 AOGCM forced by changing greenhouse gases and aerosols (HadCM2 GS in Table 9.1) to the glacier model of Zuo and Oerlemans.

The researchers worked out this committed change using a glacier model and a database of glacier outlines called the Randolph Glacier Inventory.
