Sentences with phrase «relatively high climate sensitivity»

On the contrary, SW - CRF in the MIROC3 - AS and NCAR - A are not reliable (Table 4), and the changes in SW - CRF is responsible for relatively high climate sensitivity in the MIROC3.2 SME (Y10) and relatively low climate sensitivity in the standard NCAR CAM3 (e.g. Yokohata et al. 2008).

On the other hand, in the SMEs with relatively high climate sensitivity (about 4 — 10 K), or the SMEs with relatively low climate sensitivity (about 2 — 3 K) compared to the studies in the literature, SW and LW radiation and cloud radiative forcing are not reliable.

The BEST team also found that the observed warming is consistent with an equilibrium climate sensitivity of 3.1 ± 0.3 °C for CO2 doubling, in line with the IPCC climate sensitivity range, and demonstrates once again that contrary to the persistent claims of Richard Lindzen, the Earth has warmed as much as we expect given a relatively high climate sensitivity.

(c) Our current climate models can not replicate the relatively high climate sensitivities, and Arctic Amplifications, of Super Interglacial periods, which are most relevant to our future in 2100;

Not exact matches

When the scientists compared the output of climate models with a decade of satellite measurements of relative humidity, they found that the models that best reproduced observed conditions were built on the premise that climate sensitivity is relatively high — 7 degrees F or more.

As a result, a bigger worry is that there has been higher levels of negative forcing masking much of our AGW and the warming we see so far is associated with relatively low levels of net positive forcing coupled with a high climate sensitivity.

The «flaw» of low - ECS climate model studies may not be so much in aerosols, the NASA study suggests, as the effective radiative forcing scenario (with high climate sensitivity) is accompanied with relatively low value for aerosol efficacy:

If the model Curry and colleagues discussed had incorporated the latest ocean heat content data, their relatively low best estimate for climate sensitivity would have been more in line with previously reported, higher estimates.

The 95 percent confidence range in this study was between about 1 and 7 °C equilibrium sensitivity, so very low and very high climate sensitivities could not be ruled out, but are relatively unlikely, based on the historical record.

On the contrary, the authors stated that to show the robustness of the main conclusion of the paper — a relatively small equilibrium climate sensitivity — they deliberately adopted the regression model that gave the highest climate sensitivity.

Indicating that models with low climate sensitivity require a relatively higher total anthropogenic forcing than models with higher climate sensitivity...

A world with a relatively low climate sensitivity — say in the range of 2 C — but with high emissions and with atmospheric concentrations three to four times those of pre-industrial levels is still probably a far different planet than the one we humans have become accustomed to.

The range of climate sensitivity obtained by a HadSM3 SME is similar to that of the CMIP3 MME, at about 2 — 5 K (Webb et al. 2006, Randall et al. 2007), while that of another SME, using MIROC (K - 1 Model Developers 2004) is relatively high (about 4 — 10 K, Annan et al. 2005a), and that of NCAR CAM (Collins et al. 2006b) is relatively low (about 2 — 3 K, Jackson et al. 2008; Sanderson 2011).

On the other hand, the SMEs with relatively narrow distribution, such as the MIROC3 - AS and NCAR - A tend to have climate sensitivity that is either relatively high (MIROC3.2: 3.7 — 9.8 K for 2 - sigma, Y10), or relatively low (NCAR CAM3: 2.2 — 3.2 K, Sanderson 2011).

Although the climate sensitivity of MIROC3.2 is relatively high compared to other CMIP3 models at 4.0 K (Yokohata et al. 2008), that of MIROC5 is substantially lower at 2.6 K (Watanabe et al. 2010).
