Because of the high latitude, there is a strong seasonal cycle and a weak diurnal cycle.

Knutti et al. (2006), using a different, perturbed physics ensemble, showed that models with a strong seasonal cycle in surface temperature tended to have larger climate sensitivity.

«These winds control how Mars» atmosphere responds to its very strong seasonal cycles.»

Not exact matches

Those expectations are based on analysis of historical precedence, including the average market gains in the third year of the presidential election cycle, strong momentum, earnings growth, seasonal trends, accelerating economic growth, and the normal market performance around the first Fed rate hike.

They found that models with a strong feedback based on the seasonal cycle also had a strong feedback under increased greenhouse gas forcing.

As I have shown, in CMIP5 models that relationship is considerably stronger for the OLR seasonal cycle than for any of the other predictors or any combination of predictors.

«It is found that the climate of southwest Australia bears a strong seasonality in the annual cycle and exhibits a monsoon - like atmospheric circulation, which is called the southwest Australian circulation (SWAC) because of its several distinct features characterizing a monsoonal circulation: the seasonal reversal of winds, alternate wet and dry seasons, and an evident land — sea thermal contrast.

The direct radiative forcing (DRF) is strongest in the Northern Hemisphere summer when the insolation is the highest although different seasonal cycles of the sulphate burden from the chemical transport models result in maximum global mean radiative forcings ranging from May to August (e.g., Haywood and Ramaswamy, 1998), the ratio of the June - July - August / December - January - February radiative forcing being estimated to lie in the range less than 2 (e.g., van Dorland et al., 1997) to > 5 (e.g., Penner et al., 1998b; Grant et al., 1999) with a mean of approximately 3.3.

A recent study by C10 analysed a number of different climate variables in a set of SMEs of HadCM3 (Gordon et al. 2000, atmosphere — ocean coupled version of HadSM3) from the point of view of global - scale model errors and climate change forcings and feedbacks, and compared them with variables derived from the CMIP3 MME. Knutti et al. (2006) examined another SME based on the HadSM3 model, and found a strong relationship between the magnitude of the seasonal cycle and climate sensitivity, which was not reproduced in the CMIP3 ensemble.

[12] Although in Brient Alb the correlation of seasonal TLC SW reflection variability with ECS was relatively low, the seasonal cycle is stronger in the sub-tropics than in the tropics.

It is exactly for the same reason that the temperature trend here in Rochester over a period of, say, a week or so can be negative in the spring even though there is no denying that the seasonal cycle is strong here and that the predicted temperature trend in the spring is positive.

As I have noted before, it is not at all unusual here in Rochester to have week or longer periods in the spring when the temperature trend is negative despite the fact that the seasonal cycle (which is very strong here in Rochester) predicts the trend should be strongly positive.
