Identify research gaps and needs, including multidisciplinary studies and the integration of
observations and modeling perspectives to improve forecast products; work with agencies to implement activities to fill research gaps.
These include fundamental climate research,
improved observations and modeling, increased computational capability, and very importantly, education of the next generation of climate scientists.
Nevertheless, if structural uncertainties
in observations and models are fully accounted for, a partial resolution of the long - standing «differential warming» problem has now been achieved.
So, in the scientific world, global warming is an accepted reality, backed up
by observations and models — and the questions now are focusing on discrepancies between models and observations.
Lynn, B.H., R. Healy, and L.M. Druyan, 2007: An analysis of the potential for extreme temperature change based
on observations and model simulations.
The analysis methods include the explanation of the calculation of rank histogram and the statistical test for the reliability (2 — 2), the formulation of EDoF (2 — 3), and the distances between
observation and model ensemble members (2 — 4).
To address these issues, we applied a semi-empirical approach that combines
climate observations and model simulations to estimate Atlantic - and Pacific - based internal multidecadal variability (termed «AMO» and «PMO,» respectively).
The physical understanding of the impact of aerosols (including dust) on climate for present day is very low... Here, we focus only on the direct effect of aerosols and base our estimates on
observations and modelling results concentrating on mineral dust in the atmosphere.
The VPL is based at the University of Washington, and comprises researchers at 20 institutions working to understand how telescopic
observations and modeling studies can determine if exoplanets are able to support life, or had life in the past.
This will increase the spatial degrees of freedom beyond that of the PAGES 2k Consortium [2013] synthesis and provide clear targets
for observation and model comparisons while honoring limitations imposed by current data availability.
«
Using observations and model simulations, we've demonstrated that rising Pacific - Atlantic temperatures were the major driver of rapid Arctic warming in the early 20th century.»
«This work along with other
observations and modeling efforts over the past decade or two have revealed that these large ice sheets are responding on timescales relevant to mankind,» she said in an email to Mashable.
Titanic international projects that are just kicking off, including the National Science Foundation - funded Ocean Observatories Initiative and Southern Ocean Carbon and Climate
Observations and Modeling project, promise to pile on reams of new data and knowledge in the coming years — not all of it expected to be postcard pretty.
With the freeze season already substantially delayed, there will be knock - on effects for next year's melt season, notes Prof Julienne Stroeve, professor of polar
observation and modelling at University College London and senior research scientist at the NSIDC.
Even the admirable Revkin doesn't get it quite right: On horizontal surfaces,
observations and modeling show a role for melting in both the baseline ablation and the sensitivity of ablation to precipitation and temperature; melting is the dominant ablation mechanism on vertical ice cliffs; and though Kaser et al find «no evidence» about rising temperatures, it is only because the in situ studies don't cover a long enough period to detect trends.
For the 2009 SEARCH Sea Ice Outlook, regional perspectives on ice evolution during the summer had been solicited, both to synthesize relevant
field observations and modeling activities and to encourage communication between different sea ice experts and user groups.
I then went to the ECMWF [the European Centre for Medium - Range Weather Forecasts] and drew down some high - resolution operational analysis data — a cocktail of
observations and model data that combine to give a really good picture of the atmosphere.»
During the next fifteen years, the program will foster understanding and prediction of climate variability and change on intraseasonal - to - centennial timescales through
observations and modeling with emphasis on the role of the ocean and its interaction with other elements of the Earth system, and to serve the climate community and society through the coordination and facilitation of research on outstanding climate questions.
One near - term step researchers could take, it says, «is defining the scale and scope of
observations and modeling capabilities necessary to detect the signal of any future field experiments» of geoengineering techniques, and ways «to evaluate their consequences.
Based on
earlier observations and modeling by Falke and a team of graduate students and faculty at CSU, the Arikaree River in eastern Colorado, which is fed by the aquifer and used to flow about 70 miles, will dry up to about one - half mile by 2045.
We are work closely with the OGLE, MOA, LCOGT and KMTNet teams forming a global Worldwide consortium, sharing our resources,
observations and models real time.
SAT observations and model simulations indicate that the nature of the arctic warming in the last two decades is distinct from the early twentieth - century warm period.
