Sentences with phrase «mean surface temperature following»

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.

Not exact matches

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.

So, it follows on phtysical grounds that any temperature change at the surface gets amplified aloft which means that the variability in temperature (solely the «dry» energy term) is larger aloft than at the surface.

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.

I for one would like to see a follow up of the current work by Dr. Benestad that more clearly defines the means of «cause and effect» and how this is resulting in high surface temperatures.

where DTHx denotes the global mean surface temperature change after H years following an emission of compound x.

The GTP is defined as the ratio between the global mean surface temperature change at a given future time horizon (TH) following an emission (pulse or sustained) of a compound x relative to a reference gas r (e.g., CO2):

how much trust do you have in this type of model to predict mean surface temperature for the next five or ten decades (given an emission scenario following Hoffman).

Also, were you to speak without your scientific cap on, how much trust do you have in this type of model to predict mean surface temperature for the next five or ten decades (given an emission scenario following Hoffman).

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.

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 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 concentration.

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.

«TCR is defined as the annual mean global surface temperature change at the time of CO2 doubling following a linear increase in CO ₂ forcing over a period of 70 years»

There is very high confidence that models reproduce the general features of the global - scale annual mean surface temperature increase over the historical period, including the more rapid warming in the second half of the 20th century, and the cooling immediately following large volcanic eruptions...

How can you tell that the TOA perspective, accurate to «first - order», is accurate enough to calculate the change in the mean surface temperature (following an increase in forcing at the surface) to the first significant figure?

2) The HadCRUT4 global mean surface temperature dataset shows a warming of 0.6 deg C from 1974 to 2004 as shown in the following graph.

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