Not exact matches

Looking at the grafs, i notice that ocean heat content jumps about the time surface temperatures fall below ensemble mean.

Other experts point out one of the biggest natural factors behind the plateau is the fact that in 2008 the temperature cycle in the Pacific flipped from «warm mode», in which it had been locked for the previous 40 years, to «cold mode», meaning surface water temperatures fell.

That means that also the temperature must fall with different rate at different values of x. Thus it can be independent on x at one altitude only and that altitude is likely to be the surface as a boundary condition.

The delay also means that the fall off in bulk TSI around 2004 presages a fall in surface temperatures around about one sunspot later, around 2017: 2004 + 13 = 2017.

While surface temperatures have generally remained fairly close to the multi-model mean in the past, the recent pause threatens to cause surface temperatures to fall below the 5th percentile of models in the next year or two if temperatures do not rise.

Their conclusion was that after 50 years with no greenhouse gases the Earth's albedo would have risen from today's 0.293 to 0.418, and that mean surface temperature would have fallen from 288 K to 252 K, a drop of 36 K, of which 9 K, they imagined, was the loss of directly - forced warming from the non-condensing greenhouse gases and the remaining 27 K was the loss of feedback response to that directly - forced warming.

If the whole surface of the earth is considered as a unit upon which a certain amount of heat falls each day, it is obvious that the mean temperature will depend upon the rate at which this heat can escape by radiation, because no other type of heat exchange is possible.
