Sentences with phrase «how orbital changes»

The research team now plans to apply their method to the study of deep - sea temperatures elsewhere to investigate how orbital changes affected the climate in different parts of the world.

Not exact matches

This illustrates how technology changes, specifically low cost orbital launches, pose a problem for which current international treaties don't cover.

The power law model population is dependent on four key parameters: How fast the number of planets changes with planet mass, how fast the number of planets changes with orbital distance, the outer-most orbital distance at which a planet can be detected, and the combination of mass and orbital distance that produces the most planets (the «pivot point»How fast the number of planets changes with planet mass, how fast the number of planets changes with orbital distance, the outer-most orbital distance at which a planet can be detected, and the combination of mass and orbital distance that produces the most planets (the «pivot point»how fast the number of planets changes with orbital distance, the outer-most orbital distance at which a planet can be detected, and the combination of mass and orbital distance that produces the most planets (the «pivot point»).

Students can begin by viewing how the Sun impacts the Earth, and then change the mass of the Sun and Earth separately to see how even small changes can greatly affect orbital patterns.

When we do, no matter how good the climate model is it will not be able to overcome deficiencies in our ability to predict the things that affect climate — solar activity, ocean cycles, etc — and it will not be able to overcome deficiencies in our understanding of how things that affect climate actually work — solar activity, Earth orbital changes, etc..

How about small orbital parameter changes, like Milankovitch's theory?

Kukla showed how past changes in orbital cycles very slightly altered the amount of solar energy hitting the Earth, leading to past glacial and interglacial periods.

It's also «UNKNOWN» how much of the historical temperature changes have been due to GTGs, and how much has been due to orbital forcing, ie, increases in solar radiation, or perhaps long - term shifts in ocean circulation.»

We know how the planets behave in relation to the sun and to each other today, but venturing millions or billions of years into the past, it can be tricky to figure out what orbital changes may have impacted the Earth's climate.

wili, I've often pondered about the ice age cycles, how a bit - o - carbon equivalent in orbital changes can cause a 100ppm increase in atmospheric carbon.

Besides demonstrating his firm grasp of the power of these various factors to change temperatures, this remarkable matching of theory to real - world data also tells us just how ornery the climate beast may be: the orbital changes that paced the ice ages were incredibly small.
