Sentences with phrase «term equilibrium results»

It's important to note however, that these are long - term equilibrium results and therefore don't tell you anything about the signal - to - noise ratio for any particular time period or with any particular forcings.

Measuring climate sensitivity as a surface temperature delta has to be understood as a long - term equilibrium result not a short - term outcome.

Not exact matches

The process of separation, transition, and reintegration occurs in terms of the disruption of a steady state at or near equilibrium, which brings matter increasingly far from equilibrium to a point at which a «decision» is made between alternative possibilities randomly presented by its environment, resulting in its reorganization in novel emergent form.

We climatologists describe this in terms of the climate sensitivity, the warming that results in equilibrium from a doubling of CO2.

Even the conventional notion of ECS involving the short - term (Charney) feedbacks doesn't represent an equilibrium result, which is better represented by «Earth System Sensitivity» estimates.

This is larger than the above 211 GtC that has accumulated in the atmosphere, but that's accounted for in terms of Le Chatelier's principle, which says that adding a chemical (CO2 in this case) to a system will shift its equilibrium resulting in a certain fraction of the CO2 being taken up by the land and ocean.

The model output is evidence of the result of the many processes working together, much as the Pythagorean theorem provides evidence about the hypoteneuses of a large set imperfectly studied right triangles; or long term simulations of the planetary movements based on Newton's laws provide evidence that the orbits are chaotic rather than periodic; or simulations provide evidence that high - dimensional nonlinear dissipative systems are never in equilibrium or steady state even with constant input.

There is a better name for this steady state result than equilibrium, and some people prefer to use the term quiescent value.

Although there will be market instability as it attempts to find new equilibrium levels, and economic changes in the short term, the resulting changes will provide a huge bonanza for consumers everywhere except in countries with large, inexpensive - to - extract oil reservoirs, whose value has fallen precipitously.

One measure is the equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS), which is the long - term warming that would result from a sustained doubling of atmospheric CO2.
