Temperature Trends in the Lower Atmosphere
نویسنده
چکیده
A new publication by NOAA (US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) claims to have removed the previously evident discrepancies between mean global temperature anomalies measured on the surface and those measured in the lower troposphere. It claims that a combination of attention to inaccuracies and the use of linear regression equations on selected climate sequences have removed these discrepancies.

Analysis of hydroclimatic trends in the Atrak River basin, North Khorasan, Iran (1975 – 2008)
Hydrologic regime is highly dependent on climate change, as hydrologic cycle components are directly influenced by climatic conditions. This paper analyzes the impacts of climate change on the hydrologic regime of the Atrak River basin in the northeast of Iran. It drains to the Caspian Sea. The data collected at 11 hydrometeorological stations were examined to detect trends in hydroclimatologic...
متن کاملCHAPTER 4. Measures To Improve Our Understanding of Weather and Climate Extremes. Weather and Climate Extremes in a Changing Climate. Regions of Focus: North America, Hawaii, Caribbean, and U.S. Pacific Islands
117 In this chapter we identify areas of research and activities that can improve our understanding of weather and climate extremes. Many of these research areas and activities are consistent with previous reports, especially the CCSP SAP 1.1 report, Temperature Trends in the Lower Atmosphere: Steps for Understanding and Reconciling Differences, on reconciling temperature trends between the sur...
متن کاملReview of Mesospheric Temperature Trends
[1] In recent times it has become increasingly clear that releases of trace gases from human activity have a potential for causing change in the upper atmosphere. However, our knowledge of systematic changes and trends in the temperature of the mesosphere and lower thermosphere is relatively limited compared to the Earth s lower atmosphere, and not much effort has been made to synthesize these ...
متن کاملTemperature Trends in the Lower Atmosphere - Understanding and Reconciling Differences
Temperatures Vary Vertically The global temperature profile of the Earth’s atmosphere reflects a balance between the radiative, convective and dynamical heating/cooling of the surface-atmosphere system. Radiation from the Sun is the source of energy for the Earth’s climate, with most of it absorbed at the surface. Combined with the physical properties of the atmosphere and dynamical processes, ...
متن کاملPeriodicity of Downward Longwave Radiation at an Equatorial Location
A good understanding of the diverse mechanisms in the atmosphere is required in modelling the climate. In this study, the diurnal and seasonal patterns of all-sky downward longwave radiation (DLR) at Ilorin (8o 32l N, 4o 34l E), Nigeria were investigated alongside relative humidity (RH) and temperature. The average diurnal pattern of DLR gives an arc that begins by increasing gradually with som...
