Sentences with phrase «spatial heterogeneity»

«The great spatial heterogeneity of microplastics at large and mesoscales makes it difficult to extrapolate local monitoring data to larger areas,» Nerland explains.

Themes in his research program include forest productivity and carbon storage; rates, causes, and consequences of tree mortality; development and functional consequences of spatial heterogeneity in forest ecosystems; and fire - effects and succession in mixed - conifer forests.

Unlike GHG, aerosols have much greater spatial heterogeneity in their radiative forcing.

When spatial heterogeneity is high, different villages may have very different prevalence and the use of sentinel sites to determine regional elimination will not give an accurate picture.

Animal microbiome Spatial Heterogeneity and Co-occurrence of Mucosal and Luminal Microbiome across Swine Intestinal Tract.

Challenges are compounded by the link to surface fields (topography, coastline, vegetation) that lead to much greater spatial heterogeneity at regional scales.

By combining these quite different datasets some insight into the behavior of retrieved cloud properties with spatial heterogeneity is gained.

Reconstructing hydrological change is challenging because of greater inherent spatial heterogeneity of hydroclimatic variables; additionally, covariance with temperature responses in paleoclimatic archives can complicate their integration into reconstruction of a single regionally averaged and time - averaged target variable.

Forcing due to land - use and land - cover changes also has significant spatial heterogeneity, leading to spatial variability in the associated climate response.

«We know that there's a lot of spatial heterogeneity in the Indian monsoon,» Thirumalai said.

Emerging evidence for variability in the coral calcification response to acidification, geographical variation in bleaching susceptibility and recovery, responses to past climate change, and potential rates of adaptation to rapid warming supports an alternative scenario in which reef degradation occurs with greater temporal and spatial heterogeneity than current projections suggest.

Paraphrasing the text in the post, aerosols that are input into the atmosphere, due to their spatial heterogeneity, also cause regions of heating or cooling that the atmosphere can respond to by changing its circulation — and that might have further climate effects in places far away from where the aerosols are input.

Current climate models operate on resolutions of 0.5 º to 1º, but land cover information at moderate resolution is needed to correctly describe the spatial heterogeneity of the land surface within the model cells.

«We know that there's a lot of spatial heterogeneity in the Indian monsoon,» Thirumalai said.

The degree of spatial heterogeneity can be seen by considering the aerosol optical depth for a number of aerosol species as shown by model results in Figure 4 - 1.
