Sentences with word «toa»

Another is the large natural variation in TOA net radiation out.

This means that there has been very little actual global warming (or net TOA radiative imbalance) in these seven years.

While the findings of the contested Toas memo, detailed later in this story, are fairly complex and specific, the lawsuit also draws upon Dr. Haldar's own emails and other, previously unpublicized SUNY documents, placing his alleged missteps in the broader context of what he calls «SUNY Poly's fiscal institutional mismanagement.»

That lowers the ratio between TOA solar radiation and what reaches the surface as solar SW + LW + greenhouse LW.

Are there no TOA measurements of adequate precision?

Of course, we know TOA fluxes must continue to warm globally on a decadal basis because we have OHC data.

Using TOA radiative imbalances instead of ocean heat uptake (which can not be directly observed with sufficient precision) would be pointless.

First, you were comparing the difference between model TOA energy imbalance and observed 0 - 2000 meter OHC.

ERL ~ 8 km based on temp lapse rate and observed TOA IR frequency; tropopause at equator ~ 17 km, lower at poles.

In the initiating region there would be a net flux from the internal source (presumably oceanic) into the atmosphere and out through TOA (local negative feedback) and the reverse of this in the larger responding region.

Changes in global mean surface temperature are nearly linearly related to global mean TOA radiative forcing for a wide range of forcing agents

An obvious feature of the satellite TOA observations (figure 4) is that they do not show a sharp decline between 2002 - 2005 - the time of the transition from XBT to ARGO.

The end result to me, based on the earlier manually collected data and the current Triton / TOA data seems to suggest that yes there have been recent instances of warming and cooling; however, this does not mean that the present cooling is reaching cool levels in the pre-1997 range.
