Sentences with phrase «solar intensity variations»

But after applying his skills to match the known solar intensity variations to the global mean temperature record — no dice.

Not exact matches

Cosmic ray intensities had been fluctuating for several weeks prior to 25 August, a sign that the Voyager craft may have been moving through the turbulent boundary of the solar system — or that the boundary may have been shifting back and forth in space, sweeping across the craft as it did so, due to variations in solar activity.

Nor could scientists find any connection between the radio - signal intensity and variations in the solar wind.

This is a larger solar influence (variation depends on solar magnetic field) than the variation in solar output intensity.

Variations in the orbit cause opposite changes in the intensity of solar radiation during the summer between the Northern and Southern hemisphere, yet ice age terminations seem synchronous between hemispheres.

«Today, scientists who study the links between solar activity and climate are confident that the small variations in TSI associated with the eleven - year solar cycle can not explain the intensity and speed of warming trends seen on Earth during the last century.

Second: solar intensity on short term is inversely correlated with low cloud cover (see the reference here), which intensifies the variation and probably the long - term trend too.

Recent sun - cloud connections have a decreasing correlation with CRF, but a good correlation between (low) clouds and solar irradiance, see figure 1 in http://folk.uio.no/jegill/papers/2002GL015646.pdf Also in the 6 May 2005 Science, there is an article which finds a long - term link between solar intensity (based on 14C variations) and monsoon intensity over the past 9000 years...

Variations in eccentricity can be shown mathematically to cause variations in the annual mean distance between Earth and Sun, and of course the solar intensity reaching Earth varies with the square of thatVariations in eccentricity can be shown mathematically to cause variations in the annual mean distance between Earth and Sun, and of course the solar intensity reaching Earth varies with the square of thatvariations in the annual mean distance between Earth and Sun, and of course the solar intensity reaching Earth varies with the square of that distance.

This is a larger solar influence (variation depends on solar magnetic field) than the variation in solar output intensity.

The so - called Svensmark effect (which concerns the sun's effects on cosmic ray intensity), which skeptics have long thought deserved attention, received new support last week since the effects of solar eruptions on cloud density have now been demonstrated to have a strong statistical relationship despite the UN IPCC's longstanding «let's pretend» that solar variations can and should be ignored.

We conclude that variations in mean zonal winds are modulated by the solar activity cycle through variations in irradiance, solar wind or cosmic ray intensity.

Dipole intensity estimates from cosmogenic radionuclide production records, with suitable filtering to minimise the solar influence, have also been included in the comparison to provide independent information about variations in the strength of the geomagnetic field.

An alternative recorder for past geomagnetic field changes are cosmogenic radionuclide production rates, which are modulated by variations of both the solar magnetic field strength and the geomagnetic field intensity.

Definitely yes, at some point in the future (billions of years), something not experienced on Earth will be affecting the climate, but over the relatively shorter - term, the same physical mechanisms control the climate, just playing on variations on the combinations, timing, and intensity of those mechanisms: namely: Milankovitch cycles, GHG concentrations, ocean cycles, hydrological cycle, volcanic activity, solar cycles, biosphere interactions, location of continents, etc..

The changes in the rate of outgoing energy flow caused by changes in solar surface turbulence may be small but they appear to be enough to affect the air circulation systems and thereby influence the overall global energy budget disproportionately to the tiny variations in solar power intensity.

Peter Huybers and George Denton went on to show that the glacial - interglacial climate near the North Pole varies with the intensity of incoming solar radiation at those latitudes, while variations in Antarctic climate seem to be governed by changes in the duration of summer (Huybers and Denton, 2008).

Summary: The paper concluded that between 1880 and 2002, surface air temperature trends in China were strongly influenced by natural variations in solar intensity.
