Sentences with phrase «signal over noise»

But LIGO saw only just over one cycle of the Event's ringdown waves before the signal became buried once more in the background noise — not yet enough data to provide a rigorous test of Vishveshwara's predictions.

The signal from the cosmic background microwave has weakened over time, making it exceedingly difficult to find the signature of this ancient inflation behind all the cosmic «noise.»

For instance, building on work by McClellan and Staiger (1999) in rating hospital performance, we have proposed a simple technique for pooling information over time, which improves on a simple arithmetic mean by taking into account the amount of «signal» and «noise» in a given measure of performance.

For a variety of reasons, it is difficult to distinguish signal from noise over periods of less than a year.

They expect a layer of interpretation over data, signal from noise and the ability to know at a glance whether a stock is worth investigating or not.

Of course, on a timescale of one decade the noise in the temperature signal from internal variability and measurement uncertainty is quite large, so this might be hard to determine, though tamino showed that five year means show a monotonic increase over recent decades, and one might not unreasonably expect this to cease for a decade in a grand solar minimum scenario.

Over the last century, no single forcing agent is clearer than anthropogenic greenhouse gases, yet zooming into years or decades, modes of variability become the signal, not the noise.

Second, although the central Greenland ice - core records may provide the best paleoclimatic temperature records available, multiple parameters confirm the strong temperature signal, and multiple cores confirm the widespread nature of the signal, the data still contain a lot of noise over short times (snowdrifts are real, among other things).

Nowadays we would use an ensemble of runs with slightly perturbed initial conditions (usually a different ocean state) in order to average over «weather noise» and extract the «forced» signal.

either, believing ray, the grid is over sampled by a factor of 3 and we can live with Noise, or delete stations; or believeing you, excising stations that don't meet QA standards will corrupt the «SIGNAL».

[Response: True, but as long as the errors themselves are iid, then you are still testing for a signal if you have many parallel series (the noise cancels in a similar way to taking the mean over many measurements).

Don't forget that there is natural variability in the climate, and the GW signal won't be differentiated from the noise over short timescales.

The price bounces around and that adds a little bit of uncertainty, potentially a lot of uncertainty... A tax, on the other hand, sends a very strong price signal that's unambiguous and not clouded with a lot of noise, so that people can actually understand what carbon will cost them and how the price of carbon will increase persistently and predictably over time.

The enduring truth is that over time, since the AGW temperature signal is a secular rising trend, eventually the signal will emerge from the noise, and it will be harder to argue with the rhetorical wording alone.

I do think that the blogosphere will not so much reduce fighting over ideas or increase the signal to noise ratio as much as it will facilitate addressing the concerns that lead to the in - fighting, and enable the different signals to be heard, and then discussed.

It is therefore a gross over simplification to say weather (ie turbulence) = noise can be averaged out to pick up some kind of imaginary background bulk signal.

After seeing the same things many times, my eyes glaze over and such statements become noise that clutter up any attempts at trying to develop a signal here.

Given the results show the signal - to - noise ratio is worse at 30 years than at 1 year, how is a fixed uncertainty reduction going to improve the 30 year scale over and above the 1 year scale?

It is the case for any time series that you can make seemingly vanish a signal in it, if there is one over a longer time period in the data, by chosing a time interval short enough, which is dominated by the noise that masks the signal.

Were the hypothesis that warming will increase at least 1C / decade averaged over a millennium at 95 % confidence, nineteen times in twenty, given the noise in the signal, all other things being equal, we'd first need 17 years at least to get some kinda sketchy data, and then could begin calculating from the set of subsequent running or independent 17 year spans (a different calculation for each, depending on the PDF) the probability that a -20 C decade would be consistent with a +1 C / decade hypothesis.

By the time you are averaging over 30 years it is + / - 0.1 C, and at 60 years it is pretty much gone while the climate change part remains a signal above the noise.

(I propose that this is because the long term warming signal is much smaller over 1900 - 1960 than 1900 - 2009, and it gets «covered» by the larger «natural variation» «noise».)

By averaging over the runs, the noise (which is uncorrelated from one run to another) averages out, and what is left is an estimate of the forced signal and its uncertainty.

The variance of weather is then still the same, but the seasonal warming over this longer period is much larger, so now you get a sensible signal / noise ratio.

The space - time structure of natural climate variability needed to determine the optimal fingerprint pattern and the resultant signal - to - noise ratio of the detection variable is estimated from several multi-century control simulations with different CGCMs and from instrumental data over the last 136 y. Applying the combined greenhouse gas - plus - aerosol fingerprint in the same way as the greenhouse gas only fingerprint in a previous work, the recent 30 - y trends (1966 — 1995) of annual mean near surface temperature are again found to represent a significant climate change at the 97.5 % confidence level.
