Sentences with phrase «magnitude of differences due»

Any mismatch will indicate the likely magnitude of differences due to undetected changes.

Therefore, differences between forward estimates and inverse estimates may have one of several causes, including (1) the magnitude of the forward model calculation is incorrect due to inadequate physics and / or chemistry, (2) the forward calculation has not evaluated all forcings and feedbacks or (3) other forcings project on the fingerprint of the forcing that is estimated in the inverse calculation.

We don't really know the magnitude of that lag as well as Barton implies we do, because it is very challenging to put CO2 records from ice cores on the same timescale as temperature records from those same ice cores, due to the time delay in trapping the atmosphere as the snow is compressed into ice (the ice at any time will always be younger older than the gas bubbles it encloses, and the age difference is inherently uncertain).

These differences are of the same magnitude than the radiative forcing due to CO2, and therefore the error bars make the detection of CO2 forcing rather unlikely.
