Sentences with phrase «wide range of time scales»

And the fluctuation - analysis techniques make it possible to understand the temperature variations over wide ranges of time scales.

Carbon fixed into plants is then cycled through plant tissues, litter and soil carbon and can be released back into the atmosphere by plant, microbial and animal respiration and other processes (e.g. forest fires) on a very wide range of time scales (seconds to millennia).

In addition to its high precision and stability, the instrument can detect motion over a wide range of time scales, critical for calibrating instruments and measuring short - lived states in protein folding.

Since the TAR, developments in AOGCM formulation have improved the representation of large - scale variability over a wide range of time scales.

AR5 section 9.5.3 concludes «Nevertheless, the lines of evidence above suggest with high confidence that models reproduce global and NH temperature variability on a wide range of time scales.»

This characteristic of the climate system emerges from many feedbacks on a wide range of time scales following an initial immediate change in radiative balance of the atmosphere.

The North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), the dominant mode of atmospheric circulation variability over the North Atlantic / European sector, is a leading governor of wintertime climate fluctuations in Europe, the Mediterranean, parts of the Middle East and eastern North America over a wide range of time scales from intra-seasonal to multi-decadal (e.g., Hurrell 1995; Hurrell et al. 2003).

Thus, on a wide range of time scales from several days to years, there is an agreement between the dynamics of the angular momentum in the atmosphere and solid earth, which come into view as small but important changes in the rotation of the planet.

My interests are in climate variability across a wide range of time scales.

Delivering GIPPS will require research to improve process understanding (e.g. polar clouds, sea ice / ocean dynamics, permafrost and ice sheet dynamics), enhance our understanding of polar - lower latitude linkages, optimize the polar observing system, develop data assimilation systems, enhance modelling systems and advance ensemble prediction components to improve predictions across a wide range of time scales.
