"Weather variability" refers to the changes or fluctuations in weather conditions that occur over short periods of time. It means that the weather can be unpredictable and change from day to day, or even within the same day.
Full definition
With a ton of land and plenty
of weather variability, it will take much longer before a majority of the public feels the effects of extreme weather.
Christoph Schar of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich and his colleagues investigated the effects of greenhouse gases on
weather variability as well as general overall temperatures.
However, as most of our readers will realise, these comparisons are flawed since they basically compare long term climate change to short
term weather variability.
«Year - to -
year weather variability significantly impacts Antarctica ozone because warmer stratospheric temperatures can reduce ozone depletion,» said Paul A. Newman, chief scientist for atmospheres at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.
With 70 years of weather records across the U.S. they were able to establish
weather variability patterns and compare them to economic indicators for various sectors of the economy.
In the Northern Hemisphere mid-latitudes, much of the day - to -
day weather variability is determined by the storm track regions located over the Atlantic and Pacific oceans.
Besides its atmospheric chemistry, Perlan 2 will carry instruments to study turbulence in stratospheric mountain waves, and to explore the microphysics of interactions between mountain waves and polar meteorology, which ultimately
affect weather variability.
«Sometimes environmental conditions make it difficult to operate anaerobic digestion at dairy farms in areas such as Wisconsin or Texas
where weather variabilities are extreme,» he said.
Severe weather variability has affected harvests around the world but the many of the tools to enhance food security are within our grasp.
PS some changes in agricultural policy (at least in the U.S., but maybe elsewhere too) would help both with climate change mitigation and with adaptation, as it would help with more efficient agriculture in general and more efficient responses to
weather variability even without climate change (as it is, maladaptive behavior is subsidized).
Random weather variability means that a cooling from 10 - 17 April does not falsify the seasonal cycle, nor would a warming verify it in any way, because the time period is just too short.
But the challenge is then shifted to how to calculate the delta changes, and then use them to create a new scenario of surface forcing that captures the spatio -
temporal weather variability that is desired from a daily forcing data set.
Weather forecasts on timescales of days to season can be used to reduce vulnerability to
weather variability as well as capitalize on opportunities.
In the category of comparing «long - term climate change to short -
term weather variability,» Boston Globe columnist Jeff Jacoby has offered something that may be new.
RECAST The main objective of the study was to assess the impacts of climate change induced uncertainty and growth
of weather variability on the social and economic coping range of selected infrastructure and real estate, with the aim to generate insights, methods and procedures that enable better adaptation to climate change.
But increases in
weather variability and extreme weather events could lower crop yields.
But beyond the 80 percent mark, the amount of energy storage required to overcome seasonal and
weather variabilities increases rapidly.
But a few questions later we asked whether they were interested in
weather variability.
These are affected by local temperatures, cloudiness, temperature sensitive biogenic emissions and patterns of
weather variability.
Every component of agriculture — from prices to plant pollinators and crop pests — exhibits complex relationships to climate, depending on the location,
weather variability, and agricultural and economic practices and policies.
«It is widely projected that as the planet warms, climate and
weather variability will increase.
The history of
weather variability is one that AGW community avoids at every opportunity.
