GEO-1330 Study Guide - Final Guide: List Of Cloud Types, Scientific Misconduct, Paleoclimatology
Document Summary
Long term records (nasa) metadata (data about the data) ice cores (example of proxy records) rock layers(sedimentary) Farm records!! (mention this one) art and literature (showed the existence of the little ice age, frozen over rivers/lakes) Meta data - (type of instrument, the condition of the instrument, exposure, height, degree. Most records tend to be in more developed countries. Corroborating records make it easier (a year without a summer --. Mount tambura eruption resulting in the year without summer) what rocks were erupted and how much was erupted. Modeling and explaining can be difficult to be confident in causality. Inconsistencies across the data (inhomogeneity)/ variations makes it difficult to compare data. Lot of statistics (in statistical climatology --> mechanistic) Statistical modeling and numerical/mechanical (physics (gases act in a certain way, thermodynamics)) are different. Correlations between the different aspects (mechanisms and why it happens)
