Sentences with phrase «greater temperature response»

Given that the northern polar region is dominated by water, whereas the southern polar region is dominated by land, one would expect a greater temperature response to changes in ice extent in the Arctic than Antarctica.

They also suggested that this RF mechanism produces a greater temperature response by a factor of 1.7 than an equivalent CO2 RF, that is, the â $ ˜efficacyâ $ ™ may be higher for this RF mechanism (see Section 2.8.5.7).

HadCM3 is a mid-high sensitivity model that produces a greater temperature response to a given amount of greenhouse gas emissions than does PCM, a low - sensitivity model.

Not exact matches

For a subset of 14 relatively clear (cloudy) stations, the mean temperature drop was 0.91 ± 0.78 (0.31 ± 0.40) degrees C, but the mean temperature drops for relatively calm and windy stations were almost identical, indicating that cloud cover has a much greater effect than wind on the air temperature's response to an eclipse.

One very important consideration to think about is that while surface temperature has a very high degree of variability, you do expect total ocean heat content to vary a great deal less in response to a constant forcing.

THIS IS AN ASSESSMENT FOR THE SHORT - TO - MEDIUM TERM AND NOT A RECOMMENDATION FOR LONG - TERM STABILIZATION FORCING; THE EQUI - LIBR - IUM TEMPERATURE RESPONSE TO THIS LEVEL OF CO2 MAY BE MUCH GREATER.

A great many climate scientists acknowledge the difficulty I've raised, and their response is based on their analysis of the various forcings affecting global temperatures, NOT the simplistic juggling of arcane statistical formulae.

... Polar amplification explains in part why Greenland Ice Sheet and the West Antarctic Ice Sheet appear to be highly sensitive to relatively small increases in CO2 concentration and global mean temperature... Polar amplification occurs if the magnitude of zonally averaged surface temperature change at high latitudes exceeds the globally averaged temperature change, in response to climate forcings and on time scales greater than the annual cycle.

The difference of adding 1998 is greater here than with the surface data, because the response of tropospheric temperature to ENSO is twice as large as that of surface temperatures to ENSO (in other words, the 1998 anomaly is much larger in the satellite data).

Re 9 wili — I know of a paper suggesting, as I recall, that enhanced «backradiation» (downward radiation reaching the surface emitted by the air / clouds) contributed more to Arctic amplification specifically in the cold part of the year (just to be clear, backradiation should generally increase with any warming (aside from greenhouse feedbacks) and more so with a warming due to an increase in the greenhouse effect (including feedbacks like water vapor and, if positive, clouds, though regional changes in water vapor and clouds can go against the global trend); otherwise it was always my understanding that the albedo feedback was key (while sea ice decreases so far have been more a summer phenomenon (when it would be warmer to begin with), the heat capacity of the sea prevents much temperature response, but there is a greater build up of heat from the albedo feedback, and this is released in the cold part of the year when ice forms later or would have formed or would have been thicker; the seasonal effect of reduced winter snow cover decreasing at those latitudes which still recieve sunlight in the winter would not be so delayed).

The two scientists, with colleagues from the UK, the U.S., the Netherlands and Czechoslovakia, report in Nature Climate Change that they used mathematical models to simulate the effect of temperature rise as a response to ever - greater global emissions of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, from the combustion of fossil fuels.

When it comes to volcanic eruptions, the satellite data is providing a greater measure of temperature response.

If the main climate response channel is increased convection, or greater tropical rainfall, there could be no discernible change in air temperature at all from increased GHGs.

Abrupt and severe temperature shifts have occurred on occasion in the past, typically separated by hundreds of years or more, but shifts of this magnitude that are global in extent have almost always occurred during glacial eras, when the extent of snow and ice allowed for great changes in feedback in response to only modest signals.

Three chronologies from greater than 700 metres in elevation exhibit a strong, direct response to temperature for most growing season months (p

Briffa tried to get the team to make a statement acknowledging the possibility the MWP temperatures were equal or greater than the late 20th century temperatures in both the Mann EOS 2003 paper and the EOS response to the S&B commentary.

This second point was also made by James Annan in response to Hansen's 2008 Target CO2 paper, where he essentially used the same method as Snyder is using (but came to a smaller ESS value of 6 degrees, because Snyder uses a greater temperature - amplitude between glacial - interglacial).

In the end, the antics of the ocean and WV, which may indeed have the sun as the conductor, far outweigh that of co2 though an underlying signal may be there, which given the way temperatures bounce up and down in response to the enso, may be no greater than noise Peace out

Even over the next hundred years, it is the response of the carbon cycle, ecosystems and ice melting to increased GHG and temperature is where the greatest uncertainties lie.

[Response: Your argument misses the point in three different and important ways, not even considering whether or not the Black Hills data have any general applicability elsewhere, which they may or may not: (1) It ignores the point made in the post about the potential effect of previous, seasonal warming on the magnitude of an extreme event in mid summer to early fall, due to things like (especially) a depletion in soil moisture and consequent accumulation of degree days, (2) it ignores that biological sensitivity is far FAR greater during the warm season than the cold season for a whole number of crucial variables ranging from respiration and photosynthesis to transpiration rates, and (3) it ignores the potential for derivative effects, particularly fire and smoke, in radically increasing the local temperature effects of the heat wave.

The FLOR model has been used extensively to understand predictability, change and mechanisms of tropical cyclones (Vecchi et al. 2014), Arctic sea ice (Msadek et al. 2014), precipitation and temperature over land (Jia et al. 2015), drought (Delworth et al., 2015), extratropical storms (Yang et al. 2015), the Great Plains Low Level Jet (Krishnamurthy et al. 2015), and the global response to increasing greenhouse gases (Winton et al. 2014).

It has been shown that the patterns of regional temperature response of the high - end and non-high-end models to climate change are similar, although the temperature response of the high - end models tended to be greater.

Which in fact Monckton's argument — if you read his response to John Abraham, specifically regarding the graph comparing global temperatures in the last decade against IPCC projections, he admits that the «IPCC» trend shown in his graph is greater than that for the IPCC's A2 scenario which it apparently represents, but explains that away by saying that essentially the IPCC got its sums wrong.
