Sentences with phrase «surface temperature warming»

They merely cause temporary slow downs or speeding up of surface temperature warming.

The conclusion regarding the lower surface temperature warming trend is also at odds with the satellite temperature data.

And that means we are likely headed toward a period of rapid surface temperature warming.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's consensus range of 1.5 ° to 5.8 °C projected global surface temperature warming by the end of the 21st century is considerably larger than the recent warming of less than 0.9 °C observed in spring and summer during recent decades over the western region.

The latest NASA temperature data make clear that not only has there been no «pause» in surface temperature warming in the past decade and a half, there hasn't even been a significant change in trend.

A new study of the temporary slowdown in the global average surface temperature warming trend observed between 1998 and 2013 concludes the phenomenon represented a redistribution of energy within the Earth system, with Earth's ocean absorbing the extra heat.

Evidence from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) shows that global sea levels in the last two decades are rising dramatically as surface temperatures warm oceans and...

The first statement in this quote referred to past temperatures — Lindzen did not believe the surface temperature record was accurate, and did not believe that the planet had warmed from 1880 to 1989 (in reality, global surface temperatures warmed approximately 0.5 °C over that timeframe).

Their focus appears to be the Arctic, where polar amplification has land surface temperatures warming at an accelerated rate.

So Nielsen - Gammon is correct to note that some of the slowed surface temperature warming over the past decade can be attributed to La Niña, although there have been other influences at play as well, such as human aerosol emissions.

Methods: In these experiments, the research team conducted large ensembles of simulations with two state - of - the - art atmospheric general circulation models by abruptly switching the sea - surface temperature warming on from January 1st to focus on the wintertime circulation adjustment.

Although the IPCC climate models have performed remarkably well in projecting average global surface temperature warming thus far, Rahmstorf et al. (2012) found that the IPCC underestimated global average sea level rise since 1993 by 60 %.

The air and snow surface temperatures warm when storm clouds pass over the site, acting as a blanket that traps heat, and then they gradually cool as heat radiates to space after skies clear.

Since most other analysis of TSI suggests that the ACRIM increase was spurious so would also the minimally [sic] contributed ~ 10 - 30 % of global surface temperature warming seem to be.

It argues that Global Climate Models (GCMs) that show decadal - scale pauses in surface temperature warming tend to exhibit sea surface temperature patterns similar to those of the PDO in a cold phase.

«As sea surface temperatures warm up, hurricanes may be able to sustain themselves farther north than they used to, making the prospect of more New England landfalls a bit more likely.»

As we have recently discussed, although we can't say for certain statistically, it's likely that the global surface temperature warming trend has slowed over the past decade, because virtually all short - term temperature impacts have been in the cooling direction over that timeframe.

From 1900 to 1950 the Earth's surface temperature warmed by about 0.4 °C.

The last time global surface temperatures warmed at the minimal rate of 0.03 deg C per decade for a 196 - month period was about 1980.

... that means no matter what you've written in the rest of that report, what people will see and take away from your report is that global surface temperatures warmed for a couple of decades, starting around the mid-1970s.

Overall, climate models have been fairly successful at simulating the history of surface temperature warming (both in warming rate and geographical details).

Temporary slowdown in global average surface temperature warming observed between 1998 and 2013 represented a redistribution of energy within the Earth system, new research shows.

In a recent paper in the journal Nature Climate Change, Meehl, Teng and Arblaster (2014) examine individual global climate model runs from models participating in the fifth phase of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) to see if any runs replicated the observed early - 2000s hiatus in surface temperature warming.

At equilibrium the ocean heat content will be much larger than it was (and the surface temperature warmer too).

The difficulty arises because oceanic sea - surface temperatures warm up at a much slower rate than those above land.

During an ENSO event, the prevailing trade winds weaken, reducing upwelling and altering ocean currents such that the sea surface temperatures warm, further weakening the trade winds.

Thus it's not unexpected that surface temperature warming has slowed, and when we account for these factors, we see that the underlying long - term warming trend continues.

Computer models that simulate the physics of tropical cyclones suggest that this difference should increase as the climate and sea surface temperatures warm, and that storm strength should increase with it.

Even with this «hiatus» in the surface temperature warming trend, 2000 - 2010 has been the warmest decade in the instrumental record, which began in the mid 19th century.

The most likely combined effect of changes to all cloud types is to amplify the surface temperature warming (a positive feedback).

He has demonstrated that the surface temperature warming signal correlates strongly with urbanization and growth:

When surface temperature warms (both land and sea surface), it leads to more evaporation, and consequently an increase in atmospheric humidity.

Other analyses of Eemian data find global sea surface temperature warmer than the Late Holocene by 0.7 ± 0.6 °C [77] and all - surface warming of 2 °C [78], all in reasonable accord with our prescription.
