The word
"hemispheric" refers to something that is related to or happening in a hemisphere, which is half of a sphere or globe.
Full definition
That notwithstanding, Huang et al, 2008 come to a similar conclusion as other recent studies (e.g. AR4 and Mann et al, 2008) regarding the «MWP» — that while it is indeed evident in
hemispheric mean reconstructions, it does not reach the level of the warmth of recent decades.
Is there a global warming signal
in hemispheric temperature series: a structural time series approach
Wilson (2007) Matter of divergence: tracking recent warming at
hemispheric scales using tree - ring data.
Taking a longer term perspective shows the substantial role played by anthropogenic and natural forcings in driving climate variability
on hemispheric scales prior to the twentieth century.
Whether decadal - scale warm temperatures in high - resolution proxy records were superimposed on this baseline warming over the medieval period is unclear, but a medieval drought that occurred during a period of decadal - scale warmth could provide evidence for the propensity of
hemispheric warming to generate prolonged aridity in the Southwest and a potential scenario for future warm droughts.

at hemispheric scales using tree - ring data.
Since this asymmetric sound processing is the basis for
left hemispheric specialization for language, it too is assumed to be more common in men than in women.
This is exactly the same
hemispheric pattern that occurred during the 40s and 50s and again in the period 1880, 1905.
Handedness has long been a crude measure of
hemispheric dominance, because each side of the brain controls the opposite side of the body.
Steven Foster @ 40... Richard Alley, who is probably the leading expert on the Greenland ice core data, repeatedly states that the Greenland summit data is a regional,
not hemispheric, record of temperature.
Our examination does suggest that a slight modification to the original Mann et al. reconstruction is justfiable for the first half of the 15th century (∼ +0.05 — 0.10 º), which leaves entirely unaltered the primary conclusion of Mann et al. (as well as many other reconstructions) that both the 20th century upward trend and high late - 20th century
hemispheric surface temperatures are anomalous over at least the last 600 years.
In the second hockeystick paper, the MWP was discussed, and the authors suggested that they might have found evidence for the MWP being at
least hemispheric in scale.
Aside from humans, no other animal that has been studied, not even monkeys or apes, has proved to use such
hemispheric specialization for sound processing — meaning that the left brain is better at processing fast sounds, and the right processing slow ones.
Furthermore, if we look at the SH non-smoothed annual datafile and accept that the years 1944 - 1945 were the beginning of a trend - shift for global temperatures, we see that in these years the
southern hemispheric average temperature was about 14.02 C and 13.96 C, respectively (assuming a 14C value for the» 61 - ’90 SH average, I don't have any better value but it doesn't matter very much).
A number of recent studies indicate that effects of urbanisation and land use change on the land - based temperature record are negligible (0.006 ºC per decade) as far
as hemispheric - and continental - scale averages are concerned because the very real but local effects are avoided or accounted for in the data sets used.
«The figures below indicate a the number of stations with record length at least N years as a function of N, b the number of reporting stations as a function of time, c the percent of
hemispheric area located within 1200 km of a reporting station.»
This is presumably because their
simple hemispheric climate model is too linear / symmetric in response to RF to produce more warming in the NH, as is clearly the case in observations.
This is the time - span over which temperatures with annual resolution can be calculated
using hemispheric - wide tree - ring, ice - cores, corals, and other annually - resolved proxy data.
Put in a two - hemisphere energy - balance model and using
observed hemispheric temperature changes and ocean heat uptake changes you can easily arrive at an independent total aerosol forcing estimate - one that also implies small net total aerosol forcings that are reasonably consistent with the latest observatiional findings.
HARE: And this really challenges that because dogs also have a left
hemispheric bias for processing words with meaning.
The attendant 5.1 Dolby TrueHD track has aged with a bit more grace despite the limitations of a surprisingly
hemispheric mix, which even during the rainstorm escape devotes most of the surround field to Thomas Newman's score.
Modelers now are comparing not
just hemispheric mean series, but the actual spatial patterns of estimated and observed climate changes in past centuries.
While atmospheric GEM concentrations reconstructed from Summit firn air are higher than mean
hemispheric values, they reproduce GEM levels observed shipboard between 40 ° and 50 ° N (see Fig.
The resemblance of the right - lateralised activation profile in processing non-local dependencies in music with the left -
hemispheric system in language moreover suggests that processing hierarchical structures in music and language involves qualitatively similar mechanisms subserved by domain - specific neural subpopulations.
