The oceans are by far the biggest reservoir, and it has a very long time constant associated with it.

For the past 150 years, American public schools have held time constant and let learning vary.

If the latter, does that mean the current claimed «natural» change in forcing is only the start of a very long time constant response?

Historically in education, we have held time constant and allowed learning to vary.

Only charge traps with time constants of the same order as the time between row transfers during readout affect galaxy shape measurements.

Only charge traps with time constants of the same order as the time... ▽ More (Abridged) We examine the effects of charge transfer inefficiency (CTI) during CCD readout on galaxy shape measurements required by studies of weak gravitational lensing.

We analyse the response of the atmospheric humidity, temperature and radiative fields to the eruption of Mt Pinatubo to determine time constants for the growth and the decay of perturbations in these fields.

At the same time the constant irony behind what the characters are saying (particularly Bernard and Walt) leaves your sympathies towards them muted — don't expect to find any of the heightened emotion of that break - up classic Kramer Vs Kramer here (thank God).

This simple best - fit regression model puts the temperature sensitivity factor at 3.42 C, and the 1st - order time constant at 16.2 years.

-- is it right to say that this study doesn't show any significative influence of anthropogenic, post -1970 warming on SLR, since the SLR reacts mainly with a very large time constant and averages the temperature over a time much longer than 40 years?

If the temperature follows the assumed model, then the estimated time constant should be the same for all lags, until the lag gets large enough that the probable error invalidates the result.

«In fact, I think it's pretty clear that the emotional system, because it is a body regulatory system, is going to stay at those same slow time constants.

For example, there are certain time constants associated with atmospheric response, upper ocean response, deep ocean response, and so forth.

Also glaciers sliding on under - ice rivers and lakes don't lend themselves to single time constants for the whole Earth.

Unsurprisingly, if he sets the equilibrium to current temperatures, the initial value to 1880 temperatures, and chooses the exponential time constant and the PDOI parameters, he can get a good fit to temperatures since 1880, and finds that it projects constant future temperatures (because the exponential vanishes).

The human time constant is very slow.

The thermal inertia of the thousands of meter thick Greenland Ice sheet makes its integrative time constant even longer (> 20x volume, > 1000x thermal path length, nonlinear function due to rate dependencies).

The thermal inertia lag is nontrivial — it means that current temperature is less than the equilibrium temperature expected from current forcing by a factor of tau * g, where tau = time constant of thermal inerta and g = growth rate of emissions.
