Sentences with phrase «term feedback cycles»

Not exact matches

To achieve long - term improvement of a skill, it's a good idea to move through this cycle of training - practice - feedback several times over several months.

«This kind of study discusses the natural cycle and could help define the likely positive feedbacks we can expect in the long - term future, [for example] as temperatures warm, the ocean will want to give up more CO2, or rather absorb less,» says climatologist Gavin Schmidt of NASA's Goddard Institute of Space Studies.

For this subsystem, many of the longer term feedbacks in the full climate system (such as ice sheets, vegetation response, the carbon cycle) and some of the shorter term bio-geophysical feedbacks (methane, dust and other aerosols) are explicitly excluded.

Just as in the design cycle, in which pupils should know that failure is part of the process, assessment should provide feedback to pupils in terms of what they did well and where they can improve.

For this subsystem, many of the longer term feedbacks in the full climate system (such as ice sheets, vegetation response, the carbon cycle) and some of the shorter term bio-geophysical feedbacks (methane, dust and other aerosols) are explicitly excluded.

(57k) When I state that the equilibrium climatic response must balance imposed RF (and feedbacks that occur), I am referring to a global time average RF and global time average response (in terms of radiative and convective fluxes), on a time scale sufficient to characterize the climatic state (including cycles driven by externally - forced cycles (diurnal, annual) and internal variability.

It does not include potential long term feedbacks such as ice sheet melting or carbon cycle feedbacks.

Certainly in terms of the underlying physics it is irrelevant whether it comes from us or various feedbacks from the carbon cycle.

As a result, long - term processes have come to dominate the research in this lab: carbon cycle feedbacks, sensitivity studies, circulation in the North Atlantic.

Scientific term ##### Public meaning ##### Better choice enhance ######### improve ########## intensify, increase aerosol ########## spray can ######### tiny atmospheric particle positive trend ####### good trend ####### upward trend positive feedback ##### good response, praise ##### vicious cycle, self - reinforcing cycle

The concentration held steady in 2008, meaning at least that interannual variability is important in the methane cycle, and making it hard to say if the long - term average emission rate is rising in a way that would be consistent with a new carbon feedback.

They show that long - term acclimatization or adaptation to warm and acidified conditions could change or even reverse the negative calcification responses observed in short - term studies, and thus alter feedbacks to the global carbon cycle.

In terms of greenhouse agents, the main conclusions from the WGI FAR Policymakers Summary are still valid today: (1) «emissions resulting from human activities are substantially increasing the atmospheric concentrations of the greenhouse gases: CO2, CH4, CFCs, N2O»; (2) «some gases are potentially more effective (at greenhouse warming)»; (3) feedbacks between the carbon cycle, ecosystems and atmospheric greenhouse gases in a warmer world will affect CO2 abundances; and (4) GWPs provide a metric for comparing the climatic impact of different greenhouse gases, one that integrates both the radiative influence and biogeochemical cycles.

In the previous post, I outlined how the combination of carbon cycle feedbacks to the Milankovitch forcing and the climate system response to CO2 gives rise to this correlation and that — by itself — it can't be used to define the latter term.

Basically, if such a bidirectional relationship can be established between two kinds of variables this means that they may enter into a self - generating «vicious cycle» where increases in the one variable lead to increases in the other, and vice versa — a process that can be described in terms of a dynamic system, where internal feedback processes lead to the emergence and stabilization of pathological patterns.
