Sentences with phrase «sensitivity estimates»

The warming is also consistent with climate sensitivities estimated from warming events in the historical past, and in the paleo record.

A combination of circumstances makes model - based sensitivity estimates of distant times and different climates hard to do, but at least we are getting a good education about it.

These two dominate the total uncertainty; reduce them by a factor of three, and empirical sensitivity estimates will be good enough that public consensus become far more likely.

While I was doing that I thought I'd find a crude transient sensitivity estimate for each.

If they were, wouldn't there be trends in, for example, sensitivity estimates increasing over time rather than staying fairly stable?

That's one of the ideas I've taken from your latest sensitivity estimate, whether rightly or wrongly.

I also agree that its hard to understand how people can claim to derive accurate sensitivity estimates for the last glacial maximum for example, given the large uncertainties.

It tries to turn a major factor in the uncertainty in climate sensitivity estimates — the behavior of clouds — into a strength.

Lewis and Curry arrive at their lower equilibrium climate sensitivity estimate by using updated compilations of the earth's observed temperature change, oceanic heat uptake, and the magnitude of human emissions, some of which should cause warming (e.g., greenhouse gases), while the others should cool (e.g., sulfate aerosols).

The GWPF report has very little discussion of paleoclimate sensitivity estimates.

The diagnosis of global radiative feedbacks allows better understanding of the spread of equilibrium climate sensitivity estimates among current GCMs.

It would be convenient for contrarian politicians to interpretret sensitivity estimates to design policy, since it is so uncertain there would be no policy....

This shows that for some forcing agents Marvel et al.'s methodology does not correctly quantify forcing in GISS - E2 - R for recent decades of the Historical simulation, making its related efficacy and sensitivity estimates very doubtful.»
