Your statement that «Thus it is natural to look at the real world and see whether there is evidence that it behaves in the same way (and it appears to, since model hindcasts of past changes match observations very well)» seems to indicate that you think there will be no changes in ocean circulation or land use trends, nor any subsequent changes in cloud responses thereto or other atmospheric circulation.
As discussed in the Climate chapter, large - scale atmospheric circulation patterns connected to changes in sea - surface temperatures strongly influence natural variations in precipitation and temperature (e.g., Cayan et al. 1999; Mantua and Hare 2002).
Natural factors contributing to past climate change are well documented and include changes in atmospheric chemistry, ocean circulation patterns, solar radiation intensity, snow and ice cover, Earth's orbital cycle around the sun, continental position, and volcanic eruptions.
«It's important to determine where we believe that some of the recent trends in circulation could potentially be linked with climate change, rather than just natural variability,» Ted Shepherd, an atmospheric scientist at the University of Reading in the U.K., said in an email.
Included in resource are the following topics: Natural causes of climate change Evidence of climate change Global Warming Causes and effects of climate change Global atmospheric circulation Tropical storms causes, characteristics, location and frequency Causes of EL Nino Effects of the Big Dry Adaptation to drought At the end of the resources are pupil booklets.
Global changes of the atmospheric composition and natural circulation changes are in competition to each other in determining the Arctic surface climate.
Your statement that «Thus it is natural to look at the real world and see whether there is evidence that it behaves in the same way (and it appears to, since model hindcasts of past changes match observations very well)» seems to indicate that you think there will be no changes in ocean circulation or land use trends, nor any subsequent changes in cloud responses thereto or other atmospheric circulation.
Energy budgets change all the time from large natural variations in ocean and atmospheric circulation.
On the other hand, satellite - observed changes in absorbed sunlight and emitted heat in the tropics over the period 1985 - 2000, which appear to have caused a strengthening of the tropical atmospheric circulation, could in principle be either anthropogenic or natural in origin.
LONDON, 17 March, 2017 — Scientists have calculated that at least 30 % and perhaps one half of the decline in Arctic summer sea ice could be attributed to natural causes — changes of ocean and atmospheric circulation that happen according to some long - term cycle.
These aspects of precipitation generally exhibit large natural variability, and El Niño and changes in atmospheric circulation patterns such as the North Atlantic Oscillation have a substantial influence.
In both the tropics and extratropics, it is difficult to discern significant long - term trends in the patterns of climate variability from natural variability, never mind abrupt (threshold) changes in the atmospheric circulatioIn both the tropics and extratropics, it is difficult to discern significant long - term trends in the patterns of climate variability from natural variability, never mind abrupt (threshold) changes in the atmospheric circulatioin the patterns of climate variability from natural variability, never mind abrupt (threshold) changes in the atmospheric circulatioin the atmospheric circulation.
In addition, human - induced climate change may alter atmospheric circulation, dislocating historical patterns of natural variability and storminess.
These climate changes are a result of human and natural climate forcings and feedbacks — the relative role of each in altering atmospheric and ocean circulation features, and even the global annual average radiative forcing, however, is still uncertain.
