The word
"timescale" refers to the amount of time or duration needed for something to happen or occur. It indicates the timeframe or schedule within which an event, process, or project is expected to be completed or measured.

«We don't have observations of natural variability in the sub-surface ocean on
timescales of longer than a few decades,» Will said.
In addition, there are numerous uncertainties in the climate models themselves, due to the challenge of numerically simulating all relevant aspects of the climate system over
long timescales of decades to centuries.
But since ENSO is not predictable more than a few months ahead, you aren't going to be able to do better on
timescales for which the phase of ENSO matters (i.e. less than a decade or two).
In the billions of
years timescale of the evolutionists I suggest that these precise conditions were, if not frequent, numerous enough to produce a fair number of fossils of all kinds including intermediates.
There is a significant anticorrelation between AMOC variations and the meridional shifts of the Gulf Stream path at
decadal timescales in both observations and two Earth system models.
This means that there were large - scale changes in the carbon cycle over a short
geological timescale of several tens of thousands of years.
The sun has little effect on global temperatures over
human timescales, she says, although — perhaps confusingly — it does have a relatively strong effect on some regions, particularly Europe (New Scientist, 25 September 2010, p 10).
Our partnership approach is a two way process giving you the opportunity to engage with your recruitment expert to ensure we understand your company, your brief and candidate profile and agree a recruitment strategy
with timescales in order to deliver the ideal match.
But a lot more research will have to be done before we can be sure these positive effects persist and outweigh any negative ones over the very long
timescales involved in storing radioactive waste.
Globally, it will probably warm over the next several months as La Nina fades, and will continue to warm over
multi-decadal timescales due to greenhouse forcing.
«What criteria should a climate or weather model be able to reasonably accurately forecast over
what timescales with what level of accuracy in order to be considered to be valuable for consideration in the formation of government policy?»
Metaphors that use blankets to explaining how the greenhouse effect works, income and spending in your bank account to stand in for the carbon cycle, what the wobbles in the Earth's orbit look like if the planet was your head, or conceptualizing the
geologic timescale by compressing it to a day, for instance, all serve useful pedagogic roles.
Moreover, it opens the way to study the structure and dynamics of ion channels on their biologically
relevant timescales by extending it to two - dimensional infrared spectroscopy,» says Christoph Götz, PhD student in the Vaziri lab and co-author of the paper.
«The DNA sequencer also needs higher accuracy and durability to withstand the long
timescales required for planetary missions.»
Gulev, S.K., M. Latif, N.S. Keenlyside, W. Park, K.P. Koltermann, 2013: North Atlantic Ocean Control on Surface Heat Flux at
Multidecadal Timescales.
In it, he warns that there may be no impact whatsoever on social mobility indicators at a local level within the three - year evaluation
timescale set for the project.
The consortium claims it still can offer the best deals to schools, but «made a mistake» and «gave too little information
about timescales for response, putting unnecessary pressure on schools».
In working with
such timescales in my work, I am interested in alluding to this deep oneness and perspective of a continuum that far exceeds our limited comprehension.
«Science has not evolved enough to accurately predict on
seasonal timescales when and where these storms will likely make landfall,» said Bell.
Carvalho 2007 shows in a tale of two islands (UK and NZ) that anti persistence is persistent, in both climate records over a couple of centuries and that the reversibility of regimes on decadal
timescales when mapped onto random walks meets the Hurst criteria.
Due to the change in stamp duty, the team had to work within
tight timescales and, in one particular case, they had to turn around the workload within one week: «We like challenges at Moore Blatch», says Claire, «We will always get it done working together as a team».
Climate models produce natural variations of Atlantic SSTs due to MOC variations at a
similar timescale as the AMO, but with a wide range of frequencies (50 — 130 years), compared to the AMO frequency of 50 - 70 years.
Either way, due to the increased stake (s) and the
likely timescale involved, I'm now prepared to include TOT's Capespan stake as another separate component in my valuation.
«Our model captures two time - dependent processes and this is the first time that anyone has been able to
put timescale constraints on early lunar recession.»
He also claims that people are not looking at long
enough timescales then produces a temperature graph of only 150 years or so.
This specialist group carries out scientific research to understand climate variability and predictability, and develops projections based on the Unified Model used across
many timescales for Met Office forecasting.
His research focuses on understanding the links between climate change and ocean chemistry
across timescales of thousands to millions of years during the Phanerozoic.
A temperature dataset that is resolved at the daily
timescale provides much more detailed information on extreme weather and climate events, such as heatwaves, which are associated with some of the largest weather impacts in Australia.
