Sentences with phrase «global radiative»

The phrase "global radiative" refers to the effects and processes related to the emission, absorption, and transmission of heat and light energy on a worldwide scale. It represents the way radiation (energy from the sun, for example) interacts with and affects the entire planet. Full definition
This mostly reflects the response to global radiative forcings, which are dominated by anthropogenic forcing over the 20th Century.
And it is behind almost one tenth of global radiative forcing by greenhouse gasses.
To presume 0 d (local SST anomaly) / d (global anomaly) requires an extra assumption that the Atlantic is somehow special, such that all the effects of global radiative imbalance wind up elsewhere in the ocean.
Myhre et al. (2005) point out that the albedo of agricultural systems may be only slightly higher than that of forests and estimate that the impact since pre-agricultural times of land use conversion to agriculture on global radiative forcing has been only — 0.09 W m — 2, that is, about 5 % of the warming contributed by CO2 since pre-industrial times (see Chapter 2 for a more comprehensive review of recent estimates of land surface albedo change).
Even if the graphic in question depicted responses to the total global radiative forcing, to cherrypick a single model run and ignore the fact that it displays an anomalous spike in 2011 reveals exceptionally poor data analysis on Easterbrook's part.
Trapp, R. J., N. S. Diffenbaugh, H. E. Brooks, M. E. Baldwin, E. D. Robinson, and J. S. Pal, 2007: Changes in severe thunderstorm environment frequency during the 21st century caused by anthropogenically enhanced global radiative forcing.
As the following graphic shows, the researchers find that roughly 75 percent of global radiative GHG forcing is attributable to carbon dioxide, while 16.7 percent is attributable to methane, including 8.8 percent attributable to human - caused methane emissions.
The diagnosis of global radiative feedbacks allows better understanding of the spread of equilibrium climate sensitivity estimates among current GCMs.
The fundamental flaw in Easterbrook's graphic is outlined in the caption to Figure 3 above, which depicts individual model global temperature change simulations to greenhouse gas changes only, rather than simulations responding to changes in the total global radiative forcing (which the IPCC shows in Figure 2 above).
Trapp, R.J., N.S. Diffenbaugh, H.E. Brooks, M.E. Baldwin, E.D. Robinson, and J.S. Pal, 2007: Severe thunderstorm environment frequency during the 21st century caused by anthropogenically enhanced global radiative forcing, PNAS 104 no. 50, 19719 - 19723, Dec. 11, 2007.
They thereby estimated that China contributes an average of 10 % to current, global radiative forcing.
China's relative contribution to global radiative forcing has remained steady over the past few decades because of competing factors.
Regional radiative forcing may provide a better measure of regional climate response than global radiative forcing, but further work is needed to quantify the links of regional radiative forcing to regional and global climate response.
What was new and only briefly mentioned was that «many gases produce indirect effects on the global radiative forcing».
