Sentences with phrase «small difference in the temperature»

That means saturation will not have occured; the OLR brightness temperature will be larger than the skin temperature, though the difference will be smaller for intensities in nearly horizontal directions — not just because the skin layer is colder but because some portion of the atmosphere below that is colder (the temperature will gradually approach the skin temperature going upward from the «photosphere» (effective emitting level) as you would call it in analogy with the sun).

If a doubling of CO2 resulted in a temperature increase of approximately 1 K before any non-Planck feedbacks (before water vapor, etc.), then assuming the same climate sensitivity to the total GHE, removing the whole GHE would result in about a (setting the TOA / tropopause distinction aside, as it is relatively small relative to the 155 W / m2 value) 155/3.7 * 1 K ~ = 42 K. Which is a bit more than 32 or 33 K, though I'm not surprised by the difference.

The difference in radiant flux will be smaller between 222 K and 255 K, and larger between 288 K and 321 K, and it will take a greater GHE TOA forcing to reduce the effective radiating temperature (the temperature of a blackbody that would emit a radiative flux) at TOA from 288 K to 277 K as it would to reduce it from 277 K to 266 K, etc..

An important point is that the temperature difference between lower latitudes and the Arctic (at least for land based) is smaller now than in the 1930 - 1940's.

As we only have one instrumental temperature trend, the difference between the two estimates for solar sensitivities means that a larger influence must be compensated by a smaller influence of the GHG / aerosol tandem, to fit the temperature trend in the past century...

That doesn't show any inconsistency in the method used, only that smaller differences in solar reconstruction need larger factors to explain the reconstructed temperature.

As the surface of the Earth and the atmosphere above have a small temperature difference (to be shown in a later article), there is little energy transfer between the two.

The difference between ideal rural sites compared to urban sites in temperature trends has been very small:

Also as an outsider and independent journalist in this matter, I would have expected Revkin to see the real issue of quality control being the essence of the matter (and its implications) and not any small difference in global temperature trends.

The overall level of consistency between attribution results derived from different models (as shown in Figure 9.9), and the ability of climate models to simulate large - scale temperature changes during the 20th century (Figures 9.5 and 9.6), indicate that such model differences are likely to have a relatively small impact on attribution results of large - scale temperature change at the surface.

This very small reduction in speed makes no difference to temperatures of the atmosphere because times are so very short.

That may not sound like much, but the temperature difference between today's world and the last ice age was about 5C, so seemingly small changes in temperature can mean big differences for the Earth.
