Sentences with phrase «increases on a decadal scale»
When this reinforces the anthropogenic change, it can cause RILEs [rapid ice loss events]-- but it can also counter that change and cause brief periods of near - stability (or even small increases on a decadal scale).

In the case of the upper water in most oceans including the North Atlantic inflow, that temperature is increasing on the same decadal time scales as this ice loss.
On a decadal scale, the relative contribution of the fluxes to the total global flux is stable in several regions, like Australia or tropical Asia, but increasing land sinks are noticed in Boreal and Temperate Eurasia and in Tropical South America.

Increasing attention is being paid to IPCC misrepresentations of natural oceanic variability on decadal scales (Compo and Sardeshmukh 2009): «Several recent studies suggest that the observed SST variability may be misrepresented in the coupled models used in preparing the IPCC's Fourth Assessment Report, with substantial errors on interannual and decadal scales (e.g., Shukla et al. 2006, DelSole, 2006; Newman 2007; Newman et al. 2008).
Temperature increases in the thermocline occur on the decadal timescale whereas, over most of the abyss, it is the millennial time scale that is relevant, and the strength of MOC in the channel matters for the intensity of heat uptake.
