In this section we assess changes in the intensity and frequency of various
weather phenomena.
You're also unaware of all the issues surrounding attributing current
weather phenomena to climate change and then to human - induced climate change.
Add the physics of plasma double layers and you have laboratory tested and validated physical processes which can explain the earth's
weather phenomena better than the existing theories.
Most bad weather — from hurricanes, which have been few this season, to tornadoes — are unwelcome by those in their paths, but
these weather phenomena have existed for centuries.
These data are also useful in the study of unusual
weather phenomena such as El Niño, the long - term effects of deforestation on our rain forests, and changes in the sea - ice masses around the polar regions.
Rare, unusual,
weather phenomena that generate media attention, such as snow flurries in South Florida or the San Diego coastal area; and
-- modelling procedure requires crude approximations over large grid cells, ignoring local climate and
weather phenomena as large as hurricances — model projections are demonstrably unreliable at regional and local level: even those that appear to simulate the evolution of global temperature do so only by averaging hundreds of more or less wrong results for the grid cells.
The Sun is involved, other CO2E gases, particulates,
weather phenomena, ocean gyres, plants, plankton, albedo, sea ice extent, salt concentration of sea water..
Implementation is especially challenging in data sparse regions where there may be few meteorological stations, complex topography and extreme
weather phenomena.
The following are a couple of extreme
weather phenomena and how global warming can exacerbate them.
The sheer volume of energy that the Hadley cell transports, and the depth of the heat sink that is the polar cell, ensures that the effects of transient
weather phenomena are not only have negligible effect on the system as a whole, but — except under unusual circumstances — do not form.
Thus we might have expected any signal of such an event in the simulations to be more prominent and easier to detect than if we had investigated less severe and / or shorter lived
weather phenomena.
Then there are the systematic errors arising from using grid cells larger than
weather phenomena.
The research of the group produces relevant information on socially significant
weather phenomena and their impacts as well as on changing climate for the policy - makers and the general public.
If (as appears to be the case) many or most
weather phenomena exhibit self - organized criticality, do averages of weather ever converge to anything significant?
Pekka Pirila: The pressure derivatives that the present paper tries to calculate and
the weather phenomena that Capt.Dallas commented on can be determined only when fluid dynamics is included.
Here we are considering
weather phenomena, not climate.
The larger scale conditions vary and consequently the resulting
weather phenomena vary, but that's a problem on the next level.
The pressure derivatives that the present paper tries to calculate and
the weather phenomena that Capt.Dallas commented on can be determined only when fluid dynamics is included.
The place where «data fitting,» if you can call it that, comes in to play is when one considers the parameterizations used to help the model compensate for its intrinsic lack of precision due to missing or incomplete physics or processes, or more importantly, the lack of precision due to sub-grid-scale processes like localized
weather phenomena.
Models have been developed and tested all the time to get better weather forecasts and to understand
weather phenomena better and better.
(Excellent easy reading textbook to help explain and interpreting various
weather phenomena - buy from amazon.com or amazon.ca)
El Ninos are localized, short term
weather phenomena.
Even changes of just a few degrees Celsius can influence large - scale
weather phenomena, such as El Niño or tropical cyclones.
As these models through research and development, become more skilled at higher and higher resolution and gain the capability of replicating increasingly complex
weather phenomena, the public, through the predictions of the National Weather Service, will be better served through more precise weather predictions for places and times where you are.
Regional modeling allows us to predict
weather phenomena that present grave hazards to society.
Topics such as the predictability of
weather phenomena, coupled ocean - atmosphere systems and anthropogenic climate change are among those included.
His research group uses a combination of observational and computational techniques to study the characteristics, dynamics, and forecasting of certain
weather phenomena.
Climate change advocates have recently insisted, however, that record cold temperatures in North America can not be used as an argument against anthropogenic climate change, since no direct causality can be established between singular
weather phenomena and climate change.
Damage from hurricanes, floods, droughts, snowstorms, tornadoes, and other
weather phenomena have real costs.
Voted for an SD House Resolution stating that: «That there are a variety of climatological, meteorological, astrological, thermological, cosmological, and ecological dynamics that can effect world
weather phenomena and that the significance and interrelativity of these factors is largely speculative.»
Climatic uncertainty is increasing, and the only thing certain about future climatic conditions is that variable weather, extreme
weather phenomena and the resulting natural disasters are something we will need to get used to.
Causes of natural variability include forcings that are external to the climate system (e.g., volcanic eruptions and aerosols and the 11 - year sunspot cycle) and internal fluctuations (
weather phenomena, monsoons, El Niño / La Niña, and decadal cycles).
To lessen an alleged threat from catastrophic anthropogenic global warming (CAGW) and stronger extreme
weather phenomena that has never been shown to exist.
It would be best if everyone remains humble about extrapolating short term
weather phenomena into long term climate trends of a time series that have existed for millions of years.
Similarly, warm extreme
weather phenomena have become more widespread and cold extreme phenomena have become rarer.
Troposphere - The lowest part of the atmosphere, from the surface to about 10 kilometers (~ 6 miles) in altitude at mid-latitudes (ranging from 9 kilometers (~ 5.6 miles) at high latitudes to 16 kilometers (~ 10 miles in the tropics on average), where clouds and
weather phenomena occur.
When Gort first visited in 1951, it spent little effort on climate change issues, focusing on other aspects of our planet instead: Gort returned in 2012 to answer puny human climatologist questions about whether climate change caused particular
weather phenomena by making an obvious point: rather than struggle with theoretical analysis, you can simply use your Climate Changeometer to remove all the excess greenhouse gases and aerosols above natural levels and then measure the outcome.
It's probably more scientifically meaningful on a global and longer term level than about immediate
weather phenomena, which might be why there's actual scholarship about it (thanks MMM).
«Myth 4» was that extreme
weather phenomena are increasing because of global warming.)
One of Pielke's main additions to larger climate debate has been participation in studies and workshops that have concluded, in his words, «We can not make a causal link between increase in greenhouse gases and the costs of damage associated with hurricanes, floods, and extreme
weather phenomena.»
Telling quote: «We can not make a causal link between increase in greenhouse gases and the costs of damage associated with hurricanes, floods, and extreme
weather phenomena.»
There is a minimum model resolution that is needed to capture
weather phenomena generating precipitation extremes, for example for simulating tropical cyclones or precipitation enhancement over mountains.
Discussion from the Viewpoints of the Numbers of Typhoons That Develop, Approach, and Hit Japan, and Their Intensities The present paper examines the theory that global warming causes abnormal
weather phenomena involving typhoons, focusing on the numbers of typhoons that develop and hit Japan and their intensities.
A lot of interesting
weather phenomena are associated with various types of atmospheric waves.
Due to his «criminal record», Trenberth is advocating that man should be considered guilty for all forms of climate change and unusual
weather phenomena unless man can be proven to be «innocent beyond a reasonable doubt».
For Trenberth, after AR4 successfully convicted man of a trivial amount of global warming, man is guilty until proven innocent (by his new null hypothesis) of ALL unusual
weather phenomena.
«In summary, there is low confidence in observed trends in small - scale severe
weather phenomena such as hail and thunderstorms» 6.
But even still — I would put far more weight in the impact of short - term
weather phenomena (and economic circumstances) than any of these events that get blown waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay out of proportion in the climate blogosphere.
Having said that, it seems that people are linking recent
weather phenomena with the concept of global warming.
