Sentences with phrase «slab ocean for»

Transient climate response (TCR) and equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS) were calculated by the modelling groups (using atmosphere models coupled to slab ocean for equilibrium climate sensitivity), except those in italics, which were calculated from simulations in the MMD at PCMDI.

Using supercomputers, the researchers found that this dense piece of ocean floor material (called a lithospheric slab) is slowly sinking into the Earth's mantle and is responsible for the formation of the Lake Eyre Basin, one of the Earth's largest internally drained basins and home to the lowest point in Australia at 15m below sea level, as well as the Murray - Darling Basin, home to the largest river system in Australia.

Current projections of global sea level rise do not account for the complicated behavior of these giant ice slabs as they interact with the atmosphere, the ocean and the land.

Vaulted ceilings and ten - foot glass and screen sliding doors disappear into the walls so the gentle ocean breezes can cool you and its huge open floor - plan of its great - room invites all to enjoy a movie together on comfortable huge sofas or enjoy a dinner for up to 10 at its huge teak slab dining table.

The slab ocean model is a computationally efficient scheme that allows sea surface temperatures to interact with the atmosphere; and is necessary for propagating energy imbalances due to land cover change that lead to shifts in precipitation.

All runs are conducted using preindustrial (1850) land use conditions in order to conform with our best - available slab ocean model data; however the orbital conditions are set for the year 2000.

In general, the pattern of change in return values for 20 - year extreme temperature events from an equilibrium simulation for doubled CO2 with a global atmospheric model coupled to a non-dynamic slab ocean shows moderate increases over oceans and larger increases over land masses (Zwiers and Kharin, 1998; Figure 9.29).

You've got a 2 mile thick slab of ice sitting on a land mass that is tough for any outside energy from atmosphere (and certainly not ocean) to penetrate.

All three used a «slab» ocean 50m or so deep to store heat seasonally, and all got 3 - 5 °C warming for doubled CO2.

In HadSM3, a motionless 50 m slab ocean is coupled to the atmospheric model and ocean heat transport is diagnosed for each member.
