"Temperature variability" refers to the changes or fluctuations in temperature over a specific period of time. It means that the temperature can go up and down, and there can be differences or variations in temperature within a given area or region.
Full definition
Rising average temperatures,
greater temperature variability, and more frequent and severe temperature extremes will make it harder to sustain optimal working conditions for outdoor and indoor labor.
For the most, part this research examines rainfall or
temperature variability as proxies for the kinds of longer - term chances that might occur due to climate change.
We explore the regional differences in the effects of exposure to
high temperature variability — an important consequence of climate change — on a particularly vulnerable demographic group: infants.
It seems trivial to me that
if temperature variability stays the same, then there will eventually be more high temperature records over time if the overall trend is up.
Because they are habitat specialists requiring a very specific amount of precipitation, they are likely to be unprepared to face
ongoing temperature variability and changing precipitation levels.
If you're really interested what temperatures likely were in the last several thousands of years, check previously mentioned Marcott et al. 2013, and for last one or two thousand years see «Continental - scale
temperature variability during the past two millennia», PAGES 2k Consortium (2013), which used hundreds of proxies around the world.
A new reconstruction
of temperature variability in the extra-tropical northern hemisphere during the last two milleina, Ljungqvist, 09/2010; ``... mean temperatures seem to have reached or exceeded the 1961 — 1990 mean temperature level during substantial parts of the Roman Warm Period and the Medieval Warm Period.»
The article, «Continental -
scale temperature variability during the last two millennia,» is the most comprehensive evaluation to date of temperature change on Earth's continents over the past one to two thousand years.
Strong correlations between temperatures and Pacific sea surface temperatures (SSTs) particularly Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) values, also account
for temperature variability throughout the state.
We then used this new estimate of unforced variability to aid in our interpretation of observed global
mean temperature variability since 1900.
/ / Corrections for the discontinuity are expected to alter the character of mid-twentieth
century temperature variability but not estimates of the century - long trend in global - mean temperatures.
In Atmospheric Controls On Northeast
Pacific Temperature Variability And Change, 1900 — 2012, Johnstone 2014 showed the Pacific Decadal Oscillation can explain climate change in the Pacific northeast without invoking greenhouse gases.
Using permutation tests between temperature metrics at Butaritari versus Abaiang and North Tarawa, we found significant differences in the mean of the maximum annual DHW (mean 2.3 °C · week versus 3.9 °C · week, p < 0.01) and the scaled year - to - year
temperature variability metrics (mean 1.3 °C · week versus 1.5 °C · week, p < 0.01).
«Understanding
Arctic temperature variability is essential for assessing possible future melting of the Greenland ice sheet, Arctic sea ice and Arctic permafrost.
Consequently, it seems likely that increased
temperature variability due to climate change has accelerated chytrid - related frog declines and extinctions.
AR5 section 9.5.3 concludes «Nevertheless, the lines of evidence above suggest with high confidence that models reproduce global and
NH temperature variability on a wide range of time scales.»
The new study, published in Nature, is the first to make a global assessment of how long - term
temperature variability changed from the LGM to the Holocene.
«In line with previous results, we find that on average the surface air
temperature variability decreases at higher latitudes, particularly over the ocean along the sea ice margins, while variability in precipitation increases on average, particularly at high latitudes.
«Corals from habitats with
more temperature variability generally exhibit greater thermotolerance,» says Rivest, «but the effects of past pH variability are less clear.»
Since ENSO variability is a big driver of the global temperature variability [around the trend] you'd want a decrease to be sustained over a couple of ENSO cycles [> 10 yrs] rather than three years.
