Sentences with phrase «local warming trend»

The warm peaks from the 1930s and 40s had been adjusted downward by 3 to 4 °F and these adjustments created dubious local warming trends as seen in examples from other USHCN stations at Reading, Massachusetts and Socorro, New Mexico.

According to Stone, cases where the link between human - generated greenhouse gas emissions and local warming trends were weak were often due to the fact that the climate observational record was insufficient in those regions to build a clear picture about what has been happening over the past several decades.

Not exact matches

Regional trends are notoriously problematic for models, and seems more likely to me that the underprediction of European warming has to do with either the modeled ocean temperature pattern, the modelled atmospheric response to this pattern, or some problem related to the local hydrological cycle and boundary layer moisture dynamics.

This finding might imply that warming trends will drive local microbes to produce larger amounts of methane.

Your map in Figure 3a (and the cover of Nature) gives the casual reader the perception that all of Antarctica has exhibited a warming trend from 1957 - 2006, when in fact, it seems that at least one location, direct, local observations indicate otherwise.

For the Moscow heat record of July 2010, they found that the probability of a record had increased five-fold due to the local climatic warming trend, as compared to a stationary climate (see our previous articles The Moscow warming hole and On record - breaking extremes for further discussion).

«Note that the change in spread shouldn't be automatically equated with a change in climate variability, since a similar pattern would be seen as a result of regionally specific warming trends with constant local variability»

The aspect of the paper that has attracted the most attention is the claim that the retreat of the Kilimanjaro summit glaciers can be explained by precipitation reduction, without any compelling need to invoke a warming trend in local air temperature.

Time and time again (I think more by journalists than scientists), we see evidence of warming at a specific location as further proof of «global warming» with rarely any «health warning» that this may only be a local trend.

The late 20th century divergence is partly due to local anthropogenic warming and partly to other factors, such as longterm multicentennial linear trend in solar cycle frequency (thermal inertia of oceans and ice).

Science: Local temperatures taken as individual data points have nothing to do with the long - term trend of global warming.

As described in the paper, climate warming specifically refers to the slow time evolution of the local July temperature as described by a smooth non-linear trend line, which reveals a significant climatic warming over the last three decades.

The other thing they did was use local warm peaks in 1870 and 1940 as baselines rather than century - long mean, or more recent, trends.

And before anyone starts to argue that we have left out the direct (i.e., local) effect of global warming — that warmer air holds more moisture and thus it can rain more frequently and harder — McCabe and Wolock report very few long - term trends that would be indicative of steadily rising moisture levels.

Then point out that local conditions can have an effect, but the general trend is driven by warmer temperatures and use Kilimanjaro as an example where a combination of things any one of which would not have been sufficient, INCLUDING global warming, has contributed to an extremely rapid decline In closing, the response from Gore's group pretty much nails what a bunch of folks are too stubborn to acknowledge

The global temperature anomaly certainly shows an increase since systematic thermometer records began in the tail end of the period of extreme cold known as the «little ice age», but just as in the medieval warming period, local temperature series need not correspond to the global trend.

There are regions of cooling in the 100 year gistemp trend map for March in northern Canada and in central Australia but is seems doubtful that these local cooling trends make a warming attributable heat wave less likely in those areas.
