Sentences with phrase «slow changes in»

Do we really have the understanding and sensitivity in all of our measuring to capture the energy budget as it changes form, phase, and location, or are there possibly slow changes in thermocline depths, hydrologic cycle speeds, atmospheric elevations, large ocean currents etc, that can receive energy quickly but manifest it as temperature slowly or even imperceptibly in regard to our ability to capture these changes?

GCRs are modulated by both solar magnetic field, which is largely unpredictable in strength except for generalities associated with 11 - year sunspot cycle and is also modulated by unpredictable events like nearby supernovas, and by more predictable very very long slow changes in intensity due to the solar system traversing spiral arms of our galaxy and wandering above and below the galactic plane in cycles lasting tens and hundreds of millions of years.
