A Nobel pursuit

Real Climate

Manabe’s Climate Modeling. 2019 ) gives a good overview of Manabe’s particular philosophy of climate modeling which was very much focused on getting things to work, and not worrying too much about the details. The basic issue stems from the different timescales of the ocean and atmosphere.

Deciphering the ‘SPM AR6 WG1’ code

Real Climate

There is no doubt that we have changed Earth’s climate through our activities on a broad range of aspects that includes consequences for the atmosphere, the oceans, snow, ice, Earth’s fauna and ecosystems. The cause of our changing climate is the increase in atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations that we have released into the air.

What’s Up With Water – December 13, 2022

Circle of Blue

The SWOT mission, as its called, will measure weekly changes in the world’s major rivers, lakes, wetlands, and oceans. For oceans, the satellite will track small-scale currents and eddies that transport nutrients, salt, and heat. Scientists have identified 468 of these transboundary groundwater basins.

Judging from a 2019 report , the drivers of lake level variability are still not well understood. That seems like a plausible scenario under climate change but seemingly hasn’t been established yet. As climate scientists predict, more rain is hitting Chicago in the form of intense storms. inches of rain fell.

Science denial is still an issue ahead of COP28

Real Climate

The only region of cooling is the northern Atlantic, where climate models have long predicted just that due to a slowing of the Atlantic Ocean overturning circulation. The heating of the global ocean has been going on at a steady rate of nine zeta Joules per year for decades , which is 15 times the worldwide primary energy consumption.

She was working from samples collected by the province during and after rainstorms in 2019 and 2020 and did not look for dead fish in the river at the time of the storms. Johannessen and her team published their findings in a pair of studies over the summer and fall. While the Don is home to coho salmon, the fish are not native to the area.

A distraction due to errors, misunderstanding and misguided Norwegian statistics

Real Climate

Presumably Dagsvik and Moen are used to this kind of model, but they seem to be inexperienced with the models used for weather and climate, which on the other hand are based on the laws of physics. Furthermore, the volume of the oceans increases from the melting of land ice.
