While ECS is the equilibrium global mean temperature change that eventually results from atmospheric CO2 doubling, the smaller TCR refers to the global mean temperature change that is realised at the time of CO2 doubling under an idealised scenario in which CO2 concentrations increase by 1 % yr — 1 (Cubasch et al., 2001; see also Section 8.6.2.1).

One common measure of climate sensitivity is the amount by which global mean surface temperature would change once the system has settled into a new equilibrium following a doubling of the pre-industrial CO2 concentration.

First let's define the «equilibrium climate sensitivity» as the «equilibrium change in global mean surface temperature following a doubling of the atmospheric (equivalent) CO2 concentration.

One common measure of climate sensitivity is the amount by which global mean surface temperature would change once the system has settled into a new equilibrium following a doubling of the pre-industrial CO2 concentration.

It clearly states that (a) emission of energy by radiation is accompanied with cooling of the surface (if no compensating changes prevent it), and (b) the tendency to a radiative equilibrium means that the emitter with the higher surface temperature will loose energy due to a negative net radiation balance until this net radiation balance becomes zero.

Paleontological records indicate that global mean sea level is highly sensitive to temperature (7) and that ice sheets, the most important contributors to large - magnitude sea - level change, can respond to warming on century time scales (8), while models suggest ice sheets require millennia to approach equilibrium (9).

It is defined as the change in global mean surface temperature at equilibrium that is caused by a doubling of the atmospheric CO2 concentration.

equilibrium climate sensitivity refers to the equilibrium change in the annual mean global surface temperature following a doubling of the atmospheric equivalent carbon dioxide concentration.

While ECS is the equilibrium global mean temperature change that eventually results from atmospheric CO2 doubling, the smaller TCR refers to the global mean temperature change that is realised at the time of CO2 doubling under an idealised scenario in which CO2 concentrations increase by 1 % yr — 1 (Cubasch et al., 2001; see also Section 8.6.2.1).

In the case where the gravitational scale height is (as usual) much larger than the mean free path and the characteristic length of secular changes in temperature (which goes to zero as the system approaches thermal equilibrium, which this paper does not study) the paper itself clearly states in the introduction that the usual symmetric Fourier law holds.

The Lewis and Curry paper said the best estimate for equilibrium climate sensitivity — the change in global mean surface temperature at equilibrium that is caused by a doubling of the atmospheric CO2 concentration — was 1.64 degrees.

Do you mean by «sensitivity» the equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS) that is a change in mean global temperatures (ΔTx2).

The only meaning in a genuine change in the rate of warming is that the longer term trend provides a slight change in evidence for equilibrium climate sensitivity — perhaps there was more «internal variability» associated with some of the late C20 temperature rise...

True, even if we wait for CO2 to double, the value of ΔT, given by the mean surface temperature change, will not be the equilibrium value.

The climate sensitivity parameter (units: °C (W m - 2)-1) refers to the equilibrium change in the annual mean global surface temperature following a unit change in radiative forcing.

Climate model studies since the Working Group I Third Assessment Report (TAR; IPCC, 2001) give medium confidence that the equilibrium global mean temperature response to a given RF is approximately the same (to within 25 %) for most drivers of climate change.

Climate sensitivity - In Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports, equilibrium climate sensitivity refers to the equilibrium change in the annual mean global surface temperature following a doubling of the atmospheric equivalent carbon dioxide concentrChange (IPCC) reports, equilibrium climate sensitivity refers to the equilibrium change in the annual mean global surface temperature following a doubling of the atmospheric equivalent carbon dioxide concentrchange in the annual mean global surface temperature following a doubling of the atmospheric equivalent carbon dioxide concentration.

Also, it diagnoses only one measure of climate change (equilibrium response of global mean surface temperature).

It is broadly defined as the equilibrium global mean surface temperature change following a doubling of atmospheric CO2 concentration IPCC Fourth Assessment Report: Given that CO2 has been going up in a regular stepwise fashion for the last 30 years and there has been an initial jump in temps which was happily aligned with this with Mann like Climate sensitivity, Climate sensitivity might well have been 6.0.

The IPCC defines Equilibrium climate sensitivity as the change in global mean temperature that results when the climate system, or a climate model, attains a new equilibrium with the forcing change resulting from a doubling of the atmospheric CO2 conEquilibrium climate sensitivity as the change in global mean temperature that results when the climate system, or a climate model, attains a new equilibrium with the forcing change resulting from a doubling of the atmospheric CO2 conequilibrium with the forcing change resulting from a doubling of the atmospheric CO2 concentration.

One key point is whether the simple method you've used here provides a reliable estimate of ECS, which is defined as the long - term change in global mean temperature for a doubling of the CO2 concentration, once the temperature has reached equilibrium.

It is broadly defined as the equilibrium global mean surface temperature change following a doubling of atmospheric CO2concentration.»
