Not exact matches
There is no reason to expect a trend reversal (unless you have some new data and modeling you would like to share (that has made it through peer review and peer response and survived)-RRB- to to the amount of forcing in the system, the lifetime of Co2 in the atmosphere, the human industrial output and the oceanic thermal inertia and lag time for absorption.
«from time to time the other oceanic cycles can operate in the opposite mode to PDO / ENSO thereby offsetting it until any lag is worked through.
In effect they simply continue the distribution of the initial (solar induced) warming or cooling state around the globe and of course there are varying degrees of lag so that from time to time the other lesser oceanic oscillations can operate contrary to the primary Pacific oscillations until the lag is worked through.
Remember that there is a variable lag between the initial solar effect of warming or cooling on the Pacific Ocean and that effect then working through all the other oceanic oscillations so it is difficult to establish the overall balance of the oceanic oscillations at any given time.
«On the basis of the information in the public domain about solar cycles and the positive PDO it should have been blatantly obvious that the world would warm up without the need to speculate on a contribution from CO2 or anything else... I find Mr. [Alec] Rawls very helpful in illustrating the effect of time lags between solar input and oceanic oscillations... As Mr. Rawls points out...
Other sources of lag could be the time required for the ocean to mix vertically, for sea - ice to melt, for oceanic biological productivity to change, and / or for the concentrations of atmospheric dust to change («Timing of Atmospheric CO2 and Antarctic Temperature Changes Across Termination III», Science Magazine # 299).
