Sentences with phrase «scale warming process»

«In this case the 1979 - 2009 interval is a 31 - year span during which the upward trend in surface data strongly suggests a climate - scale warming process.

Not exact matches

There are multiple causes of the detailed processes involved in global amphibian declines and extinctions [107]--[108], but global warming is a key contributor and portends a planetary - scale mass extinction in the making unless action is taken to stabilize climate while also fighting biodiversity's other threats [109].

Seems this might hold for larger scale events, such as the arctic ice melting (i.e., there would be more warming in the arctic ocean in our current times, except some of the «warming» energy is going into the melting process rather than warming).

It is true that the scale (both spatial and temporal) of global climate processes makes controlled experiments impossible and theories of global warming difficult to test.

I'm very convinced that the physical process of global warming is continuing, which appears as a statistically significant increase of the global surface and tropospheric temperature anomaly over a time scale of about 20 years and longer and also as trends in other climate variables (e.g., global ocean heat content increase, Arctic and Antarctic ice decrease, mountain glacier decrease on average and others), and I don't see any scientific evidence according to which this trend has been broken, recently.

This process is all part of the Brewer - Dobson circulation and insures that the polar regions (especially the North Pole) are warmer than they would be without this large scale circulation.

There are multiple causes of the detailed processes involved in global amphibian declines and extinctions [107]--[108], but global warming is a key contributor and portends a planetary - scale mass extinction in the making unless action is taken to stabilize climate while also fighting biodiversity's other threats [109].

The sea level rise commitment due to thermal expansion has much longer time scales than the surface warming commitment, owing to the slow processes that mix heat into the deep ocean (Church et al., 2001).

Among the global - scale tipping points identified by earth scientists are the collapse of large ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica, changes in ocean circulation, feedback processes by which warming triggers more warming, and the acidification of the ocean.h

The complexity of Arctic landscapes under climate warming means we have low confidence in which of these different processes might dominate on a regional scale.

It does not mention large scale processes which are (1) under active study, (2) might explain 20th century warming and (3) are not included in the models.

Although we can not establish a clear connection between SAA dynamics and global warming, the strong correlation between the former and global sea level supports the idea that global warming may be at least partly controlled by deep Earth processes triggering geomagnetic phenomena, such as the South Atlantic Anomaly, on a century time scale.
