Sentences with phrase «over the solar cycle of»

The full amplitude of solar cycle forcing is about 0.25 W / m2 [64], [71], but the reduction of solar forcing due to the present weak solar cycle is about half that magnitude as we illustrate below, so the energy imbalance measured during solar minimum (0.58 W / m2) suggests an average imbalance over the solar cycle of about 0.7 W / m2.

«What is generally required [for proving solar forcing of climate change] is a consistent signal over a number of cycles (either the 11 year sunspot cycle or more long term variations), similar effects if the timeseries are split, and sufficient true degrees of freedom that the connection is significant and that it explains a non-negligible fraction of the variance.»

In my opinion, climate behaves in a far from linear way, with loads of factors to take into account, so in most cases it would be very difficult to find climate records react consistently (over several solar cycles / decades / centuries) in the same way to say a solar change (see the Hoyt & Schatten 1998 book).

«By inducing the self - photosensitization of M. thermoacetica with cadmium sulfide nanoparticles, we enabled the photosynthesis of acetic acid from carbon dioxide over several days of light - dark cycles at relatively high quantum yields, demonstrating a self - replicating route toward solar - to - chemical carbon dioxide reduction.»

They also fail to mention that although the incoming solar radiation only varies by a couple of Watts per square metre over a solar cycle the apparent smallness of the variation is a result of the small area subdivision and not any indication of a small total energy variation when one takes into account the number of square metres on the Earth's surface.

The density of the upper atmosphere at any given altitude varies with the amount of solar radiation it receives, and the amount of solar radiation in turn varies either day - to - day depending on solar activity or over the 11 - year solar cycle.

But their PNAS publication also referred to natural climate cycles, superimposed on the trend line, like ENSO and solar variability, both of which have been net contributors to global cooling over 1998 - 2008 [so climate skeptics can not — as they still do — point to either the Sun or El Niño to explain the world's temperature graph over that period of time].

But as there is little change in the configuration of the continents over the past million years, we may assume that the same changes in terrestrial / solar cycles will have a similar effect on temperature.

MILANKOVITCH CYCLES overall favor N.H. cooling and an increase in snow cover over N.H high latitudes during the N.H summers due to the fact that perihelion occurs during the N.H. winter (highly favorable for increase summer snow cover), obliquity is 23.44 degrees which is at least neutral for an increase summer N.H. snow cover, while eccentricity of the earth's orbit is currently at 0.0167 which is still circular enough to favor reduced summertime solar insolation in the N.H. and thus promote more snow cover.

According to their modeling studies, the difference in the amount of incoming solar radiation, in this case, primarily in the ultraviolet (UV) wavelengths, during the minima and maxima of the 11 - yr solar cycle are large enough to produce a characteristic change in the winter circulation pattern of the atmosphere over North America...

The second discrepancy occurring during the maximum of solar cycle 24 can be explained in terms of the unusually extended polar field reversal, with both northern and southern polar fields being simultaneously positive for over a year, leading to a higher flux of GCR particles at Earth.
