Sentences with phrase «temperature on a local basis»

Guest essay by John Mauer One aspect of the science of global warming is the measurement of temperature on a local basis.

Not exact matches

This one has a really great automatic schedule that will adjust itself based on the season, temperature, humidity, and local forecast.

In this latest study, the team of researchers applied empirical and process - based models, to analyze local areas, as well as the global surface, and the effect of temperature and water availability variations on carbon exchange between the atmosphere and the terrestrial biosphere.

A number of recent studies indicate that effects of urbanisation and land use change on the land - based temperature record are negligible (0.006 ºC per decade) as far as hemispheric - and continental - scale averages are concerned because the very real but local effects are avoided or accounted for in the data sets used.

s entire argument based on local conditions in Greenland and Antarctica undermining past temperature assessments using dO18 is wrong.

Honest locals would warn you, however, that summer brings temperatures in the 90's and 100's on a regular basis.

We should be doing these things anyway, as for explaining how we should adapt, that would be done on a local basis and ideas to alter the temperature downward do not pass the smell test.

The latest record for global and annual mean was set 1998, but it may also be slightly different when looking at local temperatures and on a monthly basis.

Really, with that overwhelming visual evidence, it is obvious the earth is warming, regardless of surface air temperatures (which vary drastically and constantly based on local conditions).

But on larger scales (both in space and time) the earth is a planet of our local star; the sun is our only source of (purely radiative) energy; we have an atmosphere which clearly operates to reduce diurnal variations in temperature (which on black body basis would otherwise be huge, on human scale) and the radiative budget must always be exactly in balance.

They base their selection on correlations with local temperatures and have the plausibility to their side that the more extreme stands (in terms of elevation) give the best temperature signal.

GISS describes the value as, «Temperature change of a specified mean period over a specified time interval based on local linear trends.»

Then there's another step: no thermometer actually measures northern hemisphere temperature so people have to make various «best guesses» as to what that was based on various local temperature measurements.

In each of these countries it has been possible for local scientists to compare the official temperature record with the original data on which it was supposedly based.

The Pacific, and what happens in local waters in its east and west is the focus of ENSO studies and these phenomena are commonly compared to the march in global temperatures but its what happens in the global ocean that is really important for temperature gain and loss on a global basis.

However, Vahrenholt's statement is based on curve fitting applied to a finite time series of (local) temperatures.

Still, I base these on the notion that Arctic Ice will be a proxy for global temperature, when I know that local conditions often predominate.

BTW, on both mathematical and physical grounds, there is even less basis for expecting truly abrupt changes in global average temperatures than in local ones.

There is a graph 7.1 (c) on page 202, which is a schematic (the y - axis has no numbers) by Hubert Lamb (1965) of Central England temperatures based on «historical records» and Lamb's qualitative assesments of local, not global temperatures.

JEG, If there is true correlation of growth with local instrument temperature records, then it seems to me you can only rationally justify selecting tree series on that basis by testing if that selection method works as well when you do the selection based on holding out half the instrumental data, and then seeing how well the trees correlate with the held out data.

In which case one needs to properly consider what happens at night (when there is no solar input) and what happens when there are temperature inversions (which must be taking place somewhere on this planet on a reasonably regular basis) which act as a safety valve venting any excess temperature built up (see the article Frostbite Falls by E M Smith on WUWT in which he givces an illustration where local temperatures fell to -43 C, ie., 230K which is significantly below the calculated BB temp of the Earth without GHGs)

Climate Central calculated the number of nights below a specific temperature threshold for dozens of U.S. cities based on the local climatology and current weather conditions.

Rosenzweig et al. (2005) found that climate change based on downscaled general circulation model (GCM) projections would exacerbate the New York City UHI by increasing baseline temperatures and reducing local wind speeds.

(I added land use change, because it has a local effect on ground based temperature leading to a warming bias, in addition to its global effect).
