Sentences with phrase «local seasonal temperature»

Gregory and Oerlemans (1998) applied local seasonal temperature changes over 1860 to 1990 calculated by the HadCM2 AOGCM forced by changing greenhouse gases and aerosols (HadCM2 GS in Table 9.1) to the glacier model of Zuo and Oerlemans.

Not exact matches

At local scales and over shorter periods, annual streamflow responds to seasonal changes in climate variables (e.g., temperature, precipitation) and related processes such as evapotranspiration.

Figure 5 - June - August surface temperature anomalies in 2009 - 2011 in units of °C (a), and in units of the local standard deviation of local seasonal - mean temperature (b).

December - February surface temperature anomalies 2009 - 2011 in units of °C (a), and in units of the local standard deviation of local seasonal - mean temperature (b).

He will be taking guests of this second edition of SAISONS on a discovery of Quebec's winter ingredients and highlighting his philosophy of eating local and seasonal despite our frosty temperatures.

For example since the temperature anomalies used in the analyses are local seasonal averages, then an increase in the value of a temperature anomaly might arise simply from a shift in the local temperature distribution.

While the local, seasonal climate forcing by the Milankovitch cycles is large (of the order 30 W / m2), the net forcing provided by Milankovitch is close to zero in the global mean, requiring other radiative terms (like albedo or greenhouse gas anomalies) to force global - mean temperature change.

There can / will be local and regional, latitudinal, diurnal and seasonal, and internal variability - related deviations to the pattern (in temperature and in optical properties (LW and SW) from components (water vapor, clouds, snow, etc.) that vary with weather and climate), but the global average effect is at least somewhat constrained by the global average vertical distribution of solar heating, which requires the equilibrium net convective + LW fluxes, in the global average, to be sizable and upward at all levels from the surface to TOA, thus tending to limit the extent and magnitude of inversions.)

As for this study being local to Scandinavia all I know is that climatic, seasonal conditions, year on year are pretty similar from Siberia to the West coast of Ireland with Scandinavia & Siberia bearing the brunt of the low temperatures in winter but having pretty similar summers all over the area.

The Hadley Centre have reprocessed this data into a 5 x 5 degree grid, calculated a similar grid of local seasonal variations and produced a gridded database of monthly average temperature deviations from this seasonal climatology.

Temperatures are given as deviations from local seasonal averages, calculated for the period 1950 - 79.

That is not to say that there may not be noticeable impacts on shorter term measures — local and seasonal trends and possibly daily temperature range (DTR) effects for example.

Soil temperature varies from month to month as a function of incident solar radiation, rainfall, seasonal swings in overlying air temperature, local vegetation cover, type of soil, and depth in the earth.

In this case upscaling is not carried out since the GCM uncertainty has already been taken into account in the original literature; h — cases where sea surface temperature is the important variable, hence upscaling has been carried out using the maps from Meehl et al. (2007), using Figures 10.5 and 10.8, taking the increases in local annual mean (or where appropriate seasonal, from Figure 10.9) surface air temperature over the sea as equal to the local increases in annual mean or seasonal sea surface temperature.

[Response: Your argument misses the point in three different and important ways, not even considering whether or not the Black Hills data have any general applicability elsewhere, which they may or may not: (1) It ignores the point made in the post about the potential effect of previous, seasonal warming on the magnitude of an extreme event in mid summer to early fall, due to things like (especially) a depletion in soil moisture and consequent accumulation of degree days, (2) it ignores that biological sensitivity is far FAR greater during the warm season than the cold season for a whole number of crucial variables ranging from respiration and photosynthesis to transpiration rates, and (3) it ignores the potential for derivative effects, particularly fire and smoke, in radically increasing the local temperature effects of the heat wave.

And those who live in the colder, northern locals are already used to a seasonal temperature increase between winter and summer that can be three times greater than the largest predicted heating over the next 100 years.

The standard deviation of local seasonal mean surface temperature over a period of years is a measure of the typical variability of the seasonal mean temperature over that period of years.

Indeed, the way in which climatic forcing is expressed in natural systems is not universal, with both spatial (local, regional and latitudinal) and temporal (periodic pulses and seasonal cycles) variations in pH and temperature that are sufficient to affect the direction (positive through to negative) and severity of effect depending on timing and context [110].

Earth temperatures evolve on seasonal, interannual and decadal timescales in concert with the local mean air temperature.
