Not exact matches
We also note that the modeled response of atmospheric pressure to the cooling effect of ice melt is large scale, tending to be of a meridional nature that should be handled by our model resolution.
Since El Nino also has an important impact on the Asian Summer Monsoon in particular, its hard to know precisely what large - scale changes in atmospheric circulation are due to the radiative forcing of the eruption itself, and the secondary response to that eruption of ENSO.
It is simply physically wrong to specify sea surface temperatures and observe the atmospheric response for any phenomenon whose time scale is more than a few months.
The response of atmospheric concentration to a methane release depends on whether the release time scale is shorter or longer than the atmospheric lifetime of methane.
It is further argued that the transition of vertical circulation patterns is in response to adjustments to geostrophic imbalance — an adjustment time scale of 6 — 9 h. Although unproven, we suggest that antecedent rainfall over the alkali desert 2 weeks prior to the event was instrumental in lowering the bulk density of sediments and thereby improved the chances for dust ablation by the atmospheric disturbance.
Disentangling the timing of the ocean and terrestrial responses is the first step toward interpreting their relative contribution to the global atmospheric CO2 growth rate, and thereby understanding the sensitivity of the carbon cycle to climate forcing on interannual to decadal time scales.
The development and application of scenarios from high - resolution regional climate models and global atmospheric models (time - slices) since the TAR confirms that improved resolution allows a more realistic representation of the response of climate to fine - scale topographic features (e.g., lakes, mountains, coastlines).
