Sentences with phrase «thus have a warming effect»

Not exact matches

«Our observation that plants use roughly the same amount of water regardless of water availability suggests that a warmer or longer growing season may have a relatively small effect on evapotranspiration and thus could affect landscape water balances less than we previously thought,» Hamilton said.

The observed amount of warming thus far has been less than this, because part of the excess energy is stored in the oceans (amounting to ~ 0.5 °C), and the remainder (~ 1.3 °C) has been masked by the cooling effect of anthropogenic aerosols.

Thus far, Kepler has found 48 planetary candidates in their host star's habitable zone (of which 10 are near Earth - size), but this number is a decrease from the 54 reported in February 2011 only because the Kepler team is now applying a stricter definition of what constitutes a habitable zone around stars to account for the warming effect of planetary atmospheres, which would move such a zone away from the star, outwards in orbital distance resulting in longer orbital periods (NASA news release; and Kepler Press Conference slides — in pdf).

Critics have embraced the game with a warm reception with 30 perfect scores awarded thus far and Metacritic ranking Mass Effect 3 at 94, 92 and 91 on Xbox 360, Windows PC, and PlayStation 3 respectively.

It seems that at least the regional effect of aerosols in S.E. - Asia is warming, not cooling... Thus any reduction there would have a cooling effect.

This is a peer reviewed paper by respected scientists who are saying that aerosol forcing means that the majority of the warming caused by existing co2 emission has effectively been masked thus far, and that as aerosols remain in the atmosphere for far shorter a duration of time than co2, we will have already most likely crossed the 2 degree threshold that the G8 politicians have been discussing this week once the cooling effect of aerosols dissipate.

Thus an increase of average temperature, due to global warming (which has most effect in winter), will reduce average mortality, not increase it...

Keeping within a sufficiently small range of wavelengths that the effects discussed in 438 can be set aside, What such band widenning would do, without a surface temperature increase, is simply increase the range of wavelengths at which the same temperature variation accomplishes the same spectral fluxes through the band, thus not changing OLR within the band — the warming that results from such band - widenning should thus tend to increase the OLR within the band.

4) Thus the 1998 super El Nino induced global warming was a secondary effect of short - wave ocean heating, not necessarily recent, and had very little to do with GHG.

You'll note an acceleration of those temperatures in the late 1970s as greenhouse gas emissions from energy production increased worldwide and clean air laws reduced emissions of pollutants that had a cooling effect on the climate, and thus were masking some of the global warming signal.

I'd like to stick to facts: * CO2 levels are rising because we emit CO2 (so we can do something about it) * CO2 is a greenhouse gas * CO2 thus contributes to warming of the surface * Other effects compensate or amplify these changes * Those other effects haven't reversed / stopped the warming trend yet

This analysis focused on the relationship between cumulative CO2 emissions budgets and the odds of staying below 2 °C of warming, and thus had the important side effect of establishing cumulative budgets (in this case over the 2000 - 2050 period) as the best predictors of success for any given global emissions pathway.

Human emissions are quite different in composition as some also contain brown / black soot which may absorb more sunlight and thus may have more a warming than a cooling effect (especially over India).

Thus it is entirely unsurprising that these short - term effects all aligning in the cooling direction in recent years have offset much of the surface warming caused by human greenhouse gas emissions.

By examining the spatial pattern of both types of climate variation, the scientists found that the anthropogenic global warming signal was relatively spatially uniform over the tropical oceans and thus would not have a large effect on the atmospheric circulation, whereas the PDO shift in the 1990s consisted of warming in the tropical west Pacific and cooling in the subtropical and east tropical Pacific, which would enhance the existing sea surface temperature difference and thus intensify the circulation.

They say that world would actually warm up by just 1.64 °C overall, and the vegetation - cooling effect would be stronger over land to boot — thus temperatures on land would would be a further 0.3 °C cooler compared to the present sims.»

Many places refuse to turn over climate data, BEST adjusted and cherry picked much of the data they used, Coastal areas appear to be heavily effected by coastal winds that are likely very very poorly documented, Non-coastal wind effected areas seem to have little to no warming, «Free» / online unadjusted data appears to be mostly at or near satellite data start thus provides little extra info about the past, Looking for help from anyone who has Europe based original data outside of the «taxpayer funded yet refuse to turn over data to the public / taxpayer groups».

The postponement of the logging has been enacted in the hope that the trees will absorb carbon dioxide (CO2), thus mitigating the effects of global warming.

This means that volcanic aerosols have minimal long - term cooling effects and therefore, the warming effect of CO2 has to be much lower than assumed in Hansen's climate models and thus climate sensitivity estimates must be lowered even further.

Extra DLR has the same effect but does not also provide additional energy to penetrate more deeply and make up its own deficit so that deficit also has to come from the DLR thus there can be no DLR left over to warm the system.

High solar activity means a stronger heliospheric magnetic field and thus a more efficient screen against GCR, then under the hypothesis underlined above, the reduced GCR flux would promote less clouds amplifying the warming effect expected from high solar activity.

And before anyone starts to argue that we have left out the direct (i.e., local) effect of global warming — that warmer air holds more moisture and thus it can rain more frequently and harder — McCabe and Wolock report very few long - term trends that would be indicative of steadily rising moisture levels.

Thus, the 240 Watts / m ^ 2 of visible and near - visible Solar energy that reaches and is absorbed by the Earth System, has the effect of warming the Earth System exactly as much as an equal number of Watts / m ^ 2 of «thermal» mid - and far - IR radiation.

Thus, it seems you are correct that there are factors in addition to the Atmospheric «greenhouse effect» that account for the Surface being warmer than it would be absent that back radiation.

Moreover, thus far, the environmental scientists have yet to demonstrate empirically any cause and effect relationship between human activity and global warming.

So if the IPCC were to acknowledge that any of those natural effects had any influence on temperatures, they would have to reduce the amount of warming scored to CO2 between 1978 and 1998 and thus their large future warming forecasts would have become even harder to justify.

Although previous research had seemed to indicate that aerosols could create a general cooling effect in the atmosphere — thus helping mitigate the effect of global warming — a new study has revealed that they may in fact warm it just as much as greenhouse gases.
