The phrase
"temperature threshold" refers to a specific point or limit at which a particular temperature is reached, and certain consequences or actions may occur as a result.
Full definition
Drivers are also able to set
temperature thresholds for seat heating and seat ventilation as well as for the heated steering wheel.
The results of this study show that substantial worsening of flood risk can be avoided by limiting the global warming to
lower temperature thresholds.
There are a series
of temperature thresholds in the tropics, each of which when crossed initiates a completely new circulation regime.
While these uncertainties prevent the establishment of a high - confidence, one - to - one linkage between atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations and global mean temperature increase, probabilistic analyses can assign a subjective probability of exceeding
certain temperature thresholds for given emissions scenarios or concentration targets (e.g., Meinshausen, 2005; Harvey, 2007).
That finding suggested that the so - called «normal» metallic state, which forms above the critical
temperature threshold at which superconductivity breaks down, might also be extraordinary.
Assessments of whether emissions pathways / GHG concentration profiles exceed
given temperature thresholds are characterised by significant uncertainty.
Here, to further consider the effects of different Paris Agreement
temperature thresholds on the Mediterranean basin, Joel Guiot and Wolfgang Cramer used pollen cores from sediments, which provide rich detail about Mediterranean climate and ecosystem variability over the past 10,000 years.
Wilmking et al 2004 Recent climate warming forces contrasting growth responses of white spruce at treeline in Alaska through
temperature thresholds Global Change biology 10: 1724
And there are real limits to our ability to adapt to climate change; for example,
temperature thresholds exist above which staple crops like maize, rice, and wheat simply will not grow.
«Bass and walleye seem to be responding to the
same temperature threshold but in opposite directions,» says Gretchen Hansen, a fisheries scientist at the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources in St. Paul who led the work.
But when entire regions are subject to conditions that cause a missing ring (i.e. because that entire region was below the
summer temperature threshold for growth) then local cross-dating can not identify the missing ring!
«The majority of proven coal, oil, and gas reserves may be considered «unburnable» if global temperature increases are to be limited to two degrees Celsius,» he wrote in a letter to the British parliament's Environmental Audit Committee (PDF) in October, referring to the widely
accepted temperature threshold for avoiding the worst effects of climate change.
«Unprecedented levels of high temperature in the last decades (Barber, 2004) have led to nonlinear patterns of white spruce tree growth responses to warming at Alaska's treeline and
temperature thresholds appear to be operating.
Many studies provide global
mean temperature thresholds that would lead sooner or later to a specific key impact, i.e., to disruption / shutdown of a vulnerable process.
Nothing short of deep and rapid decarbonization will keep the Earth from surpassing the 1.5 °C
average temperature threshold in as little as a decade, and 2 °C a few decades after that.
It was first discovered in 1997 in a black smoker hydrothermal vent at the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, setting the
upper temperature threshold for known life to exist at 113 °C.
If you don't want a constant baseline temperature of, say, 18C in the home then you can make adjustments to the weekly schedule with
variable temperature thresholds (from 9 - 32C) at different times of day and the thermostat will kick - in accordingly.
Events are defined based on the exceedence
of temperature thresholds and their changing odds are measured over a range of pre-specified thresholds, which means assessments can be made as soon as a new event happens.
Corn, millet, potato, sorghum, sweet potato and wheat have a
lower temperature threshold for success, and yields are likely to diminish as temperatures rise.
A carbon budget is the cumulative amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions permitted over a period of time to keep within a
certain temperature threshold.
In recent years, scientific evidence has solidified around central findings, showing that sea level rise is likely to be far more severe during the rest of this century than initially anticipated, and that
key temperature thresholds may be crossed that make life difficult for some kinds of plants and animals to survive in certain places.
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.
The driver is now able to set
temperature thresholds for activating the seat heating and seat ventilation, as well as the steering wheel heating — a highly convenient feature that starts these functions automatically when the temperature falls below or rises above the respective limit.
These motions are constrained by localised forces in the molecular environment and, in contrast to the relatively large motions that happen above the glass transition temperature, the molecular motions above the lower
temperature threshold are much subtler.
This one has some nice safety features, too, including an automatic charging limit, capacity limit, and
temperature threshold.
Using a technique called dynamic mechanical analysis as well as terahertz spectroscopy, Zeitler and his colleagues showed that instead of the glass transition temperature, the molecular motions occurring until a lower
temperature threshold, are responsible for crystallisation.
A handful of scientists had known about the beetles»
temperature threshold for some time — had studied it extensively, in fact.
After running his models, Logan arrived at a grim conclusion:
The temperature thresholds for sites like Railroad Ridge, the greater Yellowstone region and much of the American West — thresholds at which climatically impassable habitats would suddenly become benign — were well within the short - term projections of the IPCC.
