Sentences with phrase «total relative uncertainties»

As the total relative uncertainties in radiance calibrations of this dataset are approximately ≤ 5 % for visible and ≤ 2 % for IR cloud retrievals (where absolute uncertainties are < 10 % and < 3 % respectively).

The ISCCP calibrations are now the most complete and accurate set of calibrations available for the imaging radiometers on the weather satellites: total relative uncertainties in the radiance calibrations are estimated to be ≲ 5 % for visible and ≲ 2 % for infrared; absolute uncertainties appear to be < 10 % and < 3 %, respectively.

Not exact matches

This figure gives a sense of the wide uncertainty distribution in the total anthropogenic forcing relative to just the GHG forcing (which also includes methane, N2O, etc) which is a prime reason the instrumental record doesn't inherently give good constraints on sensitivity.

Therefore, the total annual and global mean radiative forcing during the LGM is likely to have been approximately — 8 W m — 2 relative to 1750, with large seasonal and geographical variations and significant uncertainties (see Section 6.4.1).

Long - term changes may have less uncertainty (relative to the total change) than short term changes.

Therefore, the total annual and global mean radiative forcing during the LGM is likely to have been approximately — 8 W m — 2 relative to 1750, with large seasonal and geographical variations and significant uncertainties (see Section 6.4.1).

Kohler et al. (2010; doi: 10.1016 / j.quascirev.2009.09.026) estimate total forcing at the LGM to be — 9.5 W / m2 relative to preindustrial, with Gaussian uncertainty having a standard deviation of between 0.9 and 1.9 W / m2.
