Sentence examples for Response timescale from inspiring English sources
System response is approximately exponential, with a characteristic response timescale that is inversely proportional to the climate- and lithology-modulated erosional efficiency, and is largely insensitive to initial conditions, tectonic influx, and both the sign and magnitude of perturbations.
Using a catchment basin model, we demonstrate that climate-driven cyclicity in particulate sediment discharge is strongly damped when the period of climate variability is shorter than the response timescale of the eroding landscape.
Given that the response timescale of landscapes is of the order of 106 yr, and that Milankovitch-driven climate cyclicity is of the order of 104 105 yr, it is likely that climate-driven perturbation of upland catchments at these periods will be strongly damped by transient landscape behaviour.
However, the overall response timescale remains around one cell generation.
This divergence of response timescales implies that the radiative forcings required to achieve surface air temperature targets might not match the requirements for achieving sea-level targets.
Relatively swift response timescales of such magmatic/hydrothermal systems to sea level changes within a few thousand years7 or less are in agreement with melt extraction timescales inferred from geochemical data.
Channel response timescales imply that the onset of relative base level change predates ~3.5 Ma and may have begun as early as ~15 Ma.
The different response timescales of sea levels and surface air temperatures introduce a potential tension between the goals of reducing sea-level rise and minimizing the rate of surface air temperature change (Fig. 4).
Moreover, PI control does not require a model of the controlled system, although a rough idea of the system response timescales is necessary for proper tuning (Supplementary Note 4).
All nodes show similar response timescales.
In particular, this will be evident in the time series if the time interval Δt between concentration measurements is smaller than the characteristic response timescales for the network.
