Sentences with phrase «interpretation of the temperature record»

This interpretation of the temperature record is consistent with the results of several recent studies.

Not exact matches

To contribute to an understanding of the underlying causes of these changes we compile various environmental records (and model - based interpretations of some of them) in order to calculate the direct effect of various processes on Earth's radiative budget and, thus, on global annual mean surface temperature over the last 800,000 years.

My interpretation of this is that you are saying that if we want to get an understanding of temperature trends on centennial or millenial timescales, we should wilfully ignore the higher - precision instrumental record in favour of the lower - precision proxies.

In the light of the satellite record, as well as the absence of any systematic change in global temperature for almost two decades, the proclaimed interpretation of this summer should be recognised for what it is: a simplistic explanation of a complex physical system.

It seems that you completely missed my point, which is essentially avoided too by Judith Curry's intention to do a post hoc analysis of this year's temperature record, rather than to attempt a trivial statistical prediction of short - term trend, and to offer a covering explanation of the interpretation of such.

Not sure the judge will care very much that Briffa, etc (or anyone else, for that matter) arrive at a different interpretation of the ancient temperature record.

«Record 20 was corrected to reflect the interpretation of Tijander et al. (S32) that X-ray density is related inversely to temperature Record 21 was corrected to reflect the interpretation of Haltia - Hovi et al. (S33) that varve thickness is related inversely to temperature»

From a scientific point of view the exact execution and framing could be criticized on certain aspects (e.g. ECS is linearly extrapolated instead of logarithmically; the interpretation that recent record warmth are not peaks but rather a «correction to the trend line» depends strongly on the exact way the endpoints of the observed temperature are smoothed; the effect of non-CO2 greenhouse gases is excluded from the analysis and discussion), but the underlying point, that more warming is in store than we're currently seeing, is both valid and very important.

IF the interpretation was wrong and despite «record» levels of co2 the temperature was not «unusual» in the context of the Holocene would this call for action be heeded?

He didn't say «invalidates the entire dendrochronological record», he said «invalidates the previous 900 years of spurious nonsense» — which are the interpretations of the dendrochronological record as temperatures.
