Not exact matches

I would make one other observation that I think is important here, and that is that we believe it is very important to keep in mind the level of interest rates, not just their changes.

«Sea level observations are telling us that during the past 100 years sea level has risen at an average rate of 1.7 millimeters per year,» most of that due to thermal expansion as the top 700 meters of the oceans warms and expands.

The paper's lead author describes his findings thus — «Recent observations suggest the expected rate of warming in response to rising greenhouse gas levels, or «Transient Climate Response,» is likely to lie within the range of current climate models, but not at the high end of this range.

Thinking about the abundance levels of the different genes as rates in Poisson distributions require each observation to come from a constant count depth.

As we struggle with how to improve student outcomes, we need to triangulate Level 1 «satellite» data — test scores, D / F rates, attendance rates — with Level 2 «map» data — reading inventories, teacher - created common assessments, student surveys — and Level 3 «street» data, which can only be gathered through listening and close observation.

CLASS ratings in sampled K - 3 classrooms (one of Bob Pianta's classroom observation instruments), or another classroom observation system for primary grades with equal or greater evidence of reliability and validity to judge the quality of classroom interactions, with sampling and observation windows designed to draw school - level (not class - level) inferences — see for example the use of CLASS in the Head Start Designation Renewal System.

Rating with three levels: 3 - High - high in maintaining engagement; most students engaged (in most comments in observations) 2 - Average - Average in maintaining engagement; some comments indicated high engagement and others indicated a number of students off - task 1 - Low - Low in maintaining engagement; many comments indicated many students often off - task

In addition, we developed categories and rating systems, built from data emerging from the observations, surveys, and interviews, that enabled us to operationalize both school - level and classroom - level variables.

The state also simplified the rubric for classroom observations, reducing the number of points principals track in observations and cutting one rating level for teachers, creating four options from «ineffective,» to «highly effective.»

What would you rate the level of impact your current system of observations and feedback has on building teacher capacity?

There is little cause to celebrate, however: the positive impact of higher - level questioning is tempered by the low overall rates of occurrence of this practice across all of our K - 6 observations.

See also the recommendations offered, some with which I agree on the observational side (e.g., ensuring that teachers receive multiple observations during a school year by multiple evaluators), and none with which I agree on the value - added side (e.g., use at least two years of student achievement data in teacher evaluation ratings — rather, researchers agree that three years of value - added data are needed, as based on at least four years of student - level test data).

Also rate their customer service level by taking observation on how they handle your case.

He pointed to an observation made by Warren Buffett that, if interest rates stay below 3 percent, higher valuation levels for stocks make sense.

From recent instrumental observations alone we are therefore unable to predict whether mass loss from these ice sheets will vary linearly with changes in the rate of sea - level rise, or if a non-linear response is more likely.

To come to their findings, the authors used a mixture of paleoclimate records, computer models, and observations of current rates of sea level rise, but «the real world is moving somewhat faster than the model,» Hansen says.

Substantial spatial variation in rates of sea level change is also inferred from hydrographic observations.

«Satellite observations, which began in 1993, indicate that the rate of sea level rise has held fairly steady at about 3 millimeters per year.

The projections will provide more details about sea - level rise, for which observations show rates increasing, and should give a more precise estimate of the levels we will see at the end of the century.

The two periods are of different length, and at different temperature levels, with different error bars, and we already know from Cowtan & Way and other basic observations that the so - called «global» dataset isn't representative of the scale of the change but tends to minimize differences: you can't simply subtract one rate from the other and get a valid result.

A reconciled sea level budget, based on observations by Argo project, altimeter and gravity satellites, reveals that the true GMSL rise has been masked by ENSO - related fluctuations and its rate has increased since 2010.

Global sea levels have been rising since the glacial maximum of the last ice age some 18,000 years ago, but observations indicate that the rate of sea level rise is not accelerating and may even be decelerating.

Real world observations tell us that the IPCC's speculative computer models do not work, ice is not melting at an enhanced rate, sea - level rise is not accelerating, the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events is not increasing, and dangerous global warming is not occurring.»

What are telling observations against the hypothesis of a largely internally driven imbalance are, on the one hand, the fact the sea level variations are relentlessly positive, irrespective the phase of the PDO, and, on the second hand, the fact that the rate of warming over land is larger than it is over sea (and also that the shallow (0 - 700m) ocean layer never actually cools).

Satellite altimetry observations, available since the early 1990s, provide more accurate sea level data with nearly global coverage and indicate that since 1993 sea level has been rising at a rate of about 3 millimeters per year.

Since 1992, sea level observations from satellite altimeters at millimeter accuracy reveal a global increase of ~ 3.2 mm year − 1 as a fairly linear trend (Fig. 4), although with two main blips corresponding to an enhanced rate of rise during the 1997 — 1998 El Niño and a brief slowdown in the 2007 — 2008 La Niña.

However, recent observations of the rate and severity of physical and ecological responses to escalating radiative forcing — melting glaciers and ice sheets resulting in sea level rise and major changes in weather patterns, prolonged droughts, more frequent hurricanes and storms, and so on — are surprising even top climate experts, and raising awareness that, as a nation, we are dangerously unprepared for the inevitable consequences.
