Sentences with phrase «temperature response»

Model - average mean local precipitation responses also roughly scale with the global mean temperature response across the emissions scenarios, though not as well as for temperature.
An equally important variable is the ocean temperature response to increased CO2, which has suffered from large uncertainties.
It is known that, in the models at least, not all forcings produce identical temperature responses — some higher than expected from a CO2 equivalent forcing and some lower than expected.
What's more, the clocks of flies and humans are connected to temperature response mechanisms by the same regulatory component.
In other words the CO2 increase should have a rigid, totally linked temperature response with any variation from this purely temporary linked to the above mentioned caveats.
The point of the article was to demonstrate that the seasonal temperature response varies by altitude.
I do not think it is wise to make temperature response, either equilibrium or transient, which are supposed to be functions of an artificial quantity, a centerpiece of climate projections.
There are probably other climate responses that different models treat differently, even though they all tend to generate temperature responses to doubled CO2 of about 1.2 C.
The source of the difference in mean lapse rate feedback between the two studies is unclear, but may relate to inappropriate inclusion of stratospheric temperature response in some feedback analyses (Soden and Held, 2006).
The pattern and spatial gradients of forcing affect global and regional temperature responses as well as other aspects of climate response such as the hydrologic cycle.
The average temperature response for these events was 0.28 °C.
The TCR is again defined «as the average temperature response over a twenty - year period centered at CO2 doubling in a transient simulation with CO2 increasing at 1 % per year.»
What I think you have done is misapplied his formula as though it yields a correct transient temperature response when the CO2 level is (arbitrarily) growing.
The resulting patterns shown in figures 1 and 2 are the median regional temperature responses simulated by the models per degree of global mean temperature increase (colour - shaded contours) and the 5th — 95th percentile range of temperature changes from each set of models (solid contours with labels).
Regardless, climate models are made interesting by the inclusion of «positive feedbacks» (multiplier effects) so that a small temperature increment expected from increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide invokes large increases in water vapor, which seem to produce exponential rather than logarithmic temperature response in the models.
They also suggested that this RF mechanism produces a greater temperature response by a factor of 1.7 than an equivalent CO2 RF, that is, the â $ ˜efficacyâ $ ™ may be higher for this RF mechanism (see Section 2.8.5.7).
To estimate the actual temperature response then requires adding in the feedbacks and their interactions with each other and the Planck response.
Median temperature responses simulated by the models per degree of global mean temperature increase for JJA.
Previous modeling studies find that GHG make up roughly 50 % of the total LGM to present temperature response (see e.g. Broccoli & Manabe), the other part being albedo etc that respond to the seasonal cycle of irradiance.
For one thing, the energy balance between radiative forcing and temperature response gives a non-linear relation between the forcing, F, and temperature to the fourth power, T4 (the Stefan - Boltzmann law).
Median temperature responses simulated by the models per degree of global mean temperature increase for DJF.
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.
