As East Coast residents, we can witness these temperature changes on a larger scale.

Not exact matches

New research published this week in the Journal of Climate reveals that one key measurement — large - scale upper - ocean temperature changes caused by natural cycles of the ocean — is a good indicator of regional coastal sea level changes on these decadal timescales.

For significant periods of time, the reconstructed large - scale changes in the North Pacific SLP field described here and by construction the long - term decline in Hawaiian winter rainfall are broadly consistent with long - term changes in tropical Pacific sea surface temperature (SST) based on ENSO reconstructions documented in several other studies, particularly over the last two centuries.

As for additional topics, perhaps a brief explanation on why confidence in attribution (and prediction) of temperature change is strongest at large scales and weakest at small scales, ie something about the issue of signal to noise relative to spatial scale.

The paper he wrote together with Friis - Christensen in which he found a correlation between solar activity and clouds had a «slight» flaw: it ignored that the period of the study coincided with a big El Nino, and that large scale changes in ocean surface temperature are going to have an effect on cloud formation.

As for exagerating or minimizing the current temperature trend through choice of scale, it really depends on wether or not 1oC is a large change to occur over one century and all evidence suggests that it is.

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.

SkyPower, the world's largest developer and owner of utility - scale solar energy projects, is proud to announce its landmark partnership agreement with COP21, the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, which delegations representing over 150 countries will attend in Paris for 12 days with the objective of reaching a universal agreement on how to slow the rise of global temperatures.

Paleontological records indicate that global mean sea level is highly sensitive to temperature (7) and that ice sheets, the most important contributors to large - magnitude sea - level change, can respond to warming on century time scales (8), while models suggest ice sheets require millennia to approach equilibrium (9).

A cold phase transition, which the historical record indicates can occur quite rapidly with large secular temperature changes on a decadal time scale, would truly be a catastrophe.

Current computer models can faithfully simulate many of the important aspects of the global climate system, such as changes in global average temperature over many decades; the march of the seasons on large spatial scales; and how the climate responds to large - scale forcing, like a large volcanic eruption.

This conclusion has subsequently been supported by an array of evidence that includes both additional large - scale surface temperature reconstructions and pronounced changes in a variety of local proxy indicators, such as melting on icecaps and the retreat of glaciers around the world, which in many cases appear to be unprecedented during at least the last 2000 years.

It seems likely that the temperature of the oceans is only changed significantly as a result of events on a very large astronomic or geological scale.

December 2015 is the deadline for a global commitment that will bind the world and set it on the path to limit the temperature rise to 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit (2 degrees C) in order to stop the dire, large scale human and environmental cost of doing nothing, according to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
