Sentences with phrase «when climate modelers»

But to date, when climate modelers try to project future warming for the Arctic, the numbers are lower than expected; for reasons not yet fully understood, they don't reflect the region's accelerating warming.

Not exact matches

Gavin Schmidt, a climate scientist and modeler at the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies, said this sort of research is useful for modelers, who can take these results and see whether they show up when they run their models.

When modelers want to predict the future movement of a particular species, they first establish a set of conditions — in terms of climate, soil quality and other variables — under which that species is likely to thrive.

«When we think about global warming, what we should really thinking about, to be honest, is ocean warming,» said Paul Durack, a climate modeler at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL).

To reconstruct accurate climate records for the past and forecast climate changes for the future, modelers need to know just how passive trees really are when it comes to air temperature.

A scientist would never focus on ONLY one variable, CO2, probably a very minor variable with no correlation with average temperature, when there are dozens of variables affecting Earth's climate... and then further focus only on manmade CO2, for political reasons (only that 3 % of all atmospheric CO2 can be blamed on humans... which is the goal of climate modelers... along with getting more government grants.)

Worse than that the climate modelers aren't familiar with what's needed to «draw» an algoritm to be used in computer - systemprogramming...... Please let us know where they spent their days when others listen to tutors and learnt.

Of course, this kind of uncertainty is why climate modelers don't presume to «predict» at all and get irritated when model scenarios are taken as predictions.

Nearly a decade ago, when I first started looking into climate science, I began to suspect the modelers were using what I call a «plug» variable.

When designing a climate model, the modeler has to make many choices.

And in fact when you look at the scientific literature, it's an interesting disconnect because the modelers who study emissions and how to control those emissions are generally much more comfortable setting goals in terms of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas concentrations because that comes more or less directly out of their models and is much more proximate or more closely connected to what humans actually do to screw up the climate in the first place, which is emit these greenhouse gases.

When will these modelers finally realize that, in their myopic fixation on human GHGs (especially CO2), they have programmed in a climate sensitivity that is exaggerated by a factor of at least 2?

That's really a minimal requirement when one considers the contortions climate modelers go through in order to reproduce the curve of the 20th century surface temperature anomalies.

When dead - nuts fidelity to reality matters, everyone — including climate modelers — remembers that ε is not constant for all materials at any given wavelength.
