Sentences with phrase «with simple energy balance models»

But we also speak of «forcing» and «feedback» when emulating GCMs with simple energy balance models.

The former goes out on a limb; the latter should be easy to demonstrate as a statistical exercise with a simple energy balance model.

In the response by raypierre - I agree about the problems with simple energy balance model and its lack of spatial representation, but it's tough to fault the authors for the lack of cloud detail, since the science is not up to the task of solving that problem (and doing so would be outside the scope of the paper; very few paleoclimate papers that tackle the sensitivity issue do much with clouds).

The former goes out on a limb; the latter should be easy to demonstrate as a statistical exercise with a simple energy balance model.

Given that those projections were done with a simple energy balance model though, it would be trivial to add Pinatubo in as an extra forcing and see what difference it made.

Not exact matches

Studies that point towards the lower end also rely on simple energy - balance models with constant feedbacks for all forcings — and forcing quantifications that are derived from various modeling exercises.

To get an idea of why this is, we can start with the simplest 1D energy balance equilibrium climate model:

With reference to the «simple Energy Balance Model»; Why is there no arrow showing the reflection of the incoming insolation at the boundary withWith reference to the «simple Energy Balance Model»; Why is there no arrow showing the reflection of the incoming insolation at the boundary withwith Ta?

A vast array of thought has been brought to bear on this problem, beginning with Arrhenius» simple energy balance calculation, continuing through Manabe's one - dimensional radiative - convective models in the 1960's, and culminating in today's comprehensive atmosphere - ocean general circulation models.

Of course, how much we warm in reality will vary with latitude and be much more complex than a simple energy balance model can possibly indicate.

They then estimated the heat flux into the thermocline using a standard (accepted) model, with a thermocline eddy diffusion coefficient of 1.2E - 5 m ^ 2 / s from Ledwell: We estimate s by using this slope along with k = 1.2x10 - 5 m2 / s (the eddy diffusion coefficient in the thermocline [Ledwell et al., 1998]-RRB- So if they are wrong, either their basic model is wrong (which seems unlikely - it is just a simple energy balance model after all), or their choice of eddy diffusion coefficient is wrong.

So, that is what we came up with — A few very simple models, such as the one that involves 3 objects: one object A producing thermal energy and radiating energy at a fixed rate, two other objects B and C whose temperature is determined via radiative balance with object A and empty space, with a geometry such that the temperature of object B is higher than that of object C. And, what we wanted to illustrate is that the object C «warms» B in the colloquial sense of the word... i.e., that the presence of object C causes B to be at a higher temperature than if C is absent.

Currently, there are several EMICs in operation such as: two - dimensional, zonally averaged ocean models coupled to a simple atmospheric module (e.g., Stocker et al., 1992; Marchal et al., 1998) or geostrophic two - dimensional (e.g., Gallee et al., 1991) or statistical - dynamical (e.g., Petoukhov et al., 2000) atmospheric modules; three - dimensional models with a statistical - dynamical atmospheric and oceanic modules (Petoukhov et al., 1998; Handorf et al., 1999); reduced - form comprehensive models (e.g., Opsteegh et al., 1998) and those that involve an energy - moisture balance model coupled to an OGCM and a sea - ice model (e.g., Fanning and Weaver, 1996).

Consistent results are found using both a three - dimensional ocean circulation model coupled to an energy balance atmospheric model and with a much simpler ocean box model.
