Causal drivers of regime shift are identified as the increase of the frequency of events (a byproduct of climate variability) and the decrease of recession rates (induced by a decrease of cultivated lands).
Not all drivers of a climate-sensitive health outcome are of equal importance for understanding the role(s) of climate variability and change.
The stadium wave hypothesis seeks to explain the natural multi-decadal component of climate variability".
Particularly notable, it said, was the omission of any reference to the National Assessment of the Potential Consequences of Climate Variability and Change.
Small farmers' reliability to fulfil orders will always fluctuate, as they have to manage risk in the face of climate variability and creaky infrastructure.
Even the Australian Parliamentary Library has weighed in with a briefing paper on the topic, unhelpfully adding the UNFCCC's use of "climate variability" to the mix.
However, distinguishing the impacts of climate variability and human activities would vastly improve our knowledge of water resources, climate variability and climate adaptation, and watershed management.
He was the Co-Chair of the recent US National Agricultural Assessment on Climate Change, published as a book Agriculture: The Potential Consequences of Climate Variability and Change, Cambridge University Press, 2002.
To provide a robust characterization of climate variability as a baseline, we first create a climate scenario that reflects historical or "natural" variability.
This study goes hand in hand with a journal paper by Markus Huber and Reto Knutti of ETH Zurich from last week's edition of Nature Geoscience, which used modeling to tease out the relative contribution of natural climate variability from human drivers of climate.
