Put in a two - hemisphere energy - balance model and using
observed hemispheric temperature changes and ocean heat uptake changes you can easily arrive at an independent total aerosol forcing estimate - one that also implies small net total aerosol forcings that are reasonably consistent with the latest observatiional findings.
This result compares well with
the observed hemispheric transport of volcanic debris leading to «the year without a summer» in 1816 in the northern hemisphere after the 1815 Tambora volcano cataclysmic eruption in Indonesia in 1815.
Observed hemispheric asymmetry in global sea ice changes.
Not exact matches
Well, something must be there, because main conservation principles are unable to account for the
observed extremely precise match between all sky
hemispheric albedoes, while clear sky albedoes are vastly different.
Modelers now are comparing not just
hemispheric mean series, but the actual spatial patterns of estimated and
observed climate changes in past centuries.
Modelers of course do not compare just
hemispheric mean series, but the actual spatial patterns of estimated and
observed climate changes in past centuries.
(2) The
observed inter
hemispheric difference between the CO2 measurements at the Mauna Loa and the South Pole stations tracks beautifully the temporal increase and variation of the fossil fuel emissions over the last 55 years.
this region in turn has provided a large part of the variance of the
hemispheric mean temperature
observed in the past century»
While atmospheric GEM concentrations reconstructed from Summit firn air are higher than mean
hemispheric values, they reproduce GEM levels
observed shipboard between 40 ° and 50 ° N (see Fig.
Here we consider briefly some additional studies that examine the spatial structure of
observed trends or use more sophisticated time - series analysis techniques to characterise the behaviour of global,
hemispheric and zonal mean temperatures.
Correlation structures in surface temperature Another extension is to examine the lagged and cross-correlation structure of
observed and simulated
hemispheric mean temperature as in Wigley et al., (1998a).
