Sentences with phrase «global energy budget»

While an energy budget has no predictive skill, you must also be able to create a probable global energy budget at any point.

Figure1 is a diagram of global energy budget of the earth based on the latest study [Trenberth et al., 2009].

The models currently assume a generally static global energy budget with relatively little internal system variability so that measurable changes in the various input and output components can only occur from external forcing agents such as changes in the CO2 content of the air caused by human emissions or perhaps temporary after effects from volcanic eruptions, meteorite strikes or significant changes in solar power output.

I don't have the older KT paper but I do have a copy of their more recent one: «EARTH»S GLOBAL ENERGY BUDGET by Kevin E. Trenberth, John T. Fasullo, and Jeffrey Kieh» 2009

I would like to call your attention to two most recent global energy budget estimates from very highly respected soruces:

Not even the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has managed to muster much enthusiasm for the technology: it recently estimated that the ocean's maximum contribution to the global energy budget would not exceed a paltry 1 to 2 per cent by 2050.

Coupled with Hansen's aerosol forcings hypothesis, the global energy budget appears to likely close.

They take an approach in this study which utilizes the principle of conservation of energy for the global energy budget, and summarize their methodology:

Earth's Global Energy Budget (Trenberth 2009) examines satellite measurements for the Mar 2000 to May 2004 period and finds the planet is accumulating energy at a rate of 0.9 ± 0.15 W m?

The greenhouse effect affects the global energy budget (net heating of the earth), global warming and climate change [are] the response of the system to being in this non-steady-state condition and because the earth is a complicated system, we don't completely know exactly how it is going to respond.

Two recent papers help bridge a seeming gap between estimates of climate sensitivity from models and from observations of the global energy budget.

The Norwegian study is just another one of these studies looking at the global energy budget.

i) They did not realise that although the regional changes were most apparent those changes did in fact reflect a change in the global energy budget from net warming to net cooling or vice versa.

Lacis points out that only outgoing radiation can balance the global energy budget of the Earth; as clearly the convection and conduction ends at the boundary of the atmosphere.

The global energy budget is unbalanced.

Since the incoming and outgoing arrows now equal each other, this model would be stable from the point of view of the global energy budget.

He sought to look at the global energy budget of the earth, how much of that could be exploited for our power needs - and then whether massive conversion to wind, wave and solar may themselves have unintended negative consequences for the planet's energy balance - and possibly for climate change.

In the above equation for the global energy budget, latent and sensible heat fluxes (LE and SH) transfer energy from the surface to the atmosphere.

Land temperatures are what they focus on — although it is a very minor part of the global energy budget.

Extra heat from all sources — including the interior of the planet, fossil fuel burning, nuclear fission, solar radiance, north - south asymetry and — the big one — cloud radiative forcing — is retained in planetary systems as longwave emissions and shortwave reflectance adjusts to balance the global energy budget.

from the pdf: Using a global energy budget approach, this paper seeks to understand the implications for climate sensitivity (both ECS and TCR) of the new estimates of radiative forcing and uncertainty therein given in AR5.
