More recently, a third regime, called “macroweather,” has been used to describe the relatively stable regime between weather and climate.

This dichotomy provides the analytical framework for scientific thinking about atmospheric variability, including climate change.</p> <p> Tue, 26 Feb 2013 16:05:15 +0000 webfull 94914 at /channels Global warming ‘pause’ reflects natural fluctuation /channels/news/global-warming-%E2%80%98pause%E2%80%99-reflects-natural-fluctuation-237538 <p>Statistical analysis of average global temperatures between 1998 and 2013 shows that the slowdown in global warming during this period is consistent with natural variations in temperature, according to research by ϲ physics professor Shaun Lovejoy.</p> <p> Mon, 21 Jul 2014 18:06:22 +0000 webfull 103593 at /channels
