Not exact matches

Even under a more moderate scenario where greenhouse gas emissions peak in 2040, 100 - year extreme sea levels could increase by 57 centimeters, or nearly 2 feet, on average, by the end of the century, with these events occurring every few years, according to study's authors.

Studies have examined the efficacy of oral supplementation of type II collagen on moderating joint function and joint pain due to strenuous exercise in healthy subjects and have shown that collagen supplementation increased joint mobility, prolonged how long one could exercise before joint pain occurred, improved recovery speeds after exercise, and less joint pain after exercise.

The first moderate increase (more pronounced in Study 1) occurred ∼ 2 — 3 h after test meal consumption, followed by the major response observed at 5 h (after the lunch meal).

Another example might be a sudden large increase in inflation from moderate to extreme levels as occurred in the 1970s.

Mild to moderate increases in white blood cell counts generally occur with pancreatitis.

(PS regarding Venus — as I have understood it, a runaway water vapor feedback would have occured when solar heating increasing to become greater than a limiting OLR value (Simpson - Kombayashi - Ingersoll limit — see http://chriscolose.wordpress.com/2010/08/23/climate-feedbacks-part-1/ — although I should add that at more «moderate» temperatures (warmer than today), stratospheric H2O increases to a point where H escape to space becomes a significant H2O sink — if that stage worked fast enough relative to solar brightening, a runaway H2O case could be prevented, and it would be a dry (er) heat.

Warming must occur below the tropopause to increase the net LW flux out of the tropopause to balance the tropopause - level forcing; there is some feedback at that point as the stratosphere is «forced» by the fraction of that increase which it absorbs, and a fraction of that is transfered back to the tropopause level — for an optically thick stratosphere that could be significant, but I think it may be minor for the Earth as it is (while CO2 optical thickness of the stratosphere alone is large near the center of the band, most of the wavelengths in which the stratosphere is not transparent have a more moderate optical thickness on the order of 1 (mainly from stratospheric water vapor; stratospheric ozone makes a contribution over a narrow wavelength band, reaching somewhat larger optical thickness than stratospheric water vapor)(in the limit of an optically thin stratosphere at most wavelengths where the stratosphere is not transparent, changes in the net flux out of the stratosphere caused by stratospheric warming or cooling will tend to be evenly split between upward at TOA and downward at the tropopause; with greater optically thickness over a larger fraction of optically - significant wavelengths, the distribution of warming or cooling within the stratosphere will affect how such a change is distributed, and it would even be possible for stratospheric adjustment to have opposite effects on the downward flux at the tropopause and the upward flux at TOA).

They find that the portion of snow melt occurring at moderate and high melt rates in Western North America is projected to decrease, while the portion occurring at low melt rates is projected to increase.

The main way that a moderate change in the air temperature or any other term increases ablation is by increasing the proportion of the day during which melting can occur.

The report continues to rip apart the claimed benefits of DroughtGard, pointing out that the slight productivity increases observed only occur in moderate drought conditions, and that, contrary to Monsanto's claims «there is no evidence that DroughtGard will help the crops or farmers use water more efficiently.»

-- During the period 1900 - 1940, when most of the 20th century's one - degree Fahrenheit temperature increase occurred, there were 7 years of moderate - to - severe drought.
