A focus on the variability of human performance and how human operators (and organizations) can manage that variability may be a more fruitful approach.

The cheese is produced daily, and it can show a natural variability.

Human activities, in addition to natural climate variability, are producing these changes.

(d) Understanding, assessing, predicting, mitigating and adapting to climate variability and change

Noting that climate variability, rather than climate change, is an ever present regional concern, he said that coping with present day variability would go a long way down the road towards adapting for climate change.

This led to a wide range of variability in quality and quantity between seasons and regions.

The variability of the draft convention's scope of application could entail legal uncertainty for the sector.

If I move in this particular way, I end up with a smaller variability across many movements.

(b) Improving access to high quality data and information on current and future climate variability and extreme events

By considering this flow, a designer can make adjustments to reduce the flow of random variability, and improve quality.

This variability is driven by the degree of aridity combined with the pressure people put on the ecosystem's resources.

Tourism is, however, a biodiversity dependent industry and it is itself also affected by climate variability and environmental change.

Adaptation to climate variability will be the only way forward in many destinations that are currently prime holiday spots.

But countries like Ethiopia have virtually no water storage facilities, great variability in rainfall, and attractive sites for hydroelectric generation.

For retirees and other people who need to spend soon, the year to year variability of the stock market commands caution.

For example, data variability at the basic heading level may be too great for PPPs at that level to be published.

Mr. Moussa Sanon, Burkina Faso, presented a case study on transfer of technology and capacity building for coping with climate variability.

Climate change and variability, the sea level rise and susceptibility to natural disasters and other global environmental phenomena caused environmental degradation.

Because decreased biodiversity results in less resistant crops and loss of ecosystem services, pest infestations and weather variability increase agricultural stresses.

At this point, it is premature to link the storm s severity to warmer sea surface temperatures, because regional variability is known to occur.

It deals primarily with the consideration of the effects of random variability upon the performance of an engineering system during the design phase.

A study reported a warming of the surface layer characterized by a significant increase of inter annual oscillations and a significant spatial variability.

In order to ensure accurate test results, the variability of camera positioning by the user and lighting conditions in different test environments must be addressed.

Our fragile environment has worsened as a result of climate change, sea level rise, climate variability and susceptibility to natural disasters and other global environmental phenomena.

Research needs Parties indicated a need for more research in several areas to allow them to monitor the localized effects of climate variability and climate change.

It is too early to tell whether this blocking pattern is a manifestation of weather variability, a short term climate variation, or the result of climate change.

Recent research by the International Monetary Fund on the context specific variability of fiscal multipliers has raised serious questions about the costs and effectiveness of rapid fiscal consolidation.

In southern Ghana, for example, farmers have managed to reduce crop failures arising from rainfall variability and unpredictability by cultivating several drought tolerant types of the same crop species.

The threat of the impact of climate change, sea level rise and variability on the entire global environment continues to be a matter of serious security concern to all.

Now what I want to convince you of is the brain also goes through a lot of effort to reduce the negative consequences of this sort of noise and variability.

Stressing various uncertainties, he suggested that investments in these technologies may begin with present day needs that address climate variability concerns and are further justified by consideration of climate change.

Several WMO departments also contribute to the enhancement of regional climate outlook forum networks that strengthen capacity to anticipate and manage climate variability and change in sensitive regions and sectors.

These include participation in the Global Energy and Water Cycle Experiment, the Climatic Predictability and Variability Initiative, Stratospheric Processes and their Role in Climate, and the Arctic Climate System Study.

If there were no error whatsoever in measuring body density, the uncertainty in fat estimation would be about 3.8 of the body weight, primarily because of normal variability in body constituents.

This easy variability is the sign of a bad explanation, because, without a functional reason to prefer one of countless variants, advocating one of them, in preference to the others, is irrational.

All estimates of the possible impact of global warming suggest that a large part of the continent will become drier, and that the continent as a whole will experience greater climatic variability.

For example, although the synaptic density within a given area and layer may vary, this variability remains within a relatively narrow window, so the statistical distribution of the variation can be modeled.

This trend towards more variability and fluctuation is perhaps more important, in terms of its impact on human health, than that of a gradual and long term trend towards higher average temperature.

But you know that your senses are not perfect, and therefore there's some variability of where it's going to land shown by that cloud of red, representing numbers between 0.5 and maybe 0.1.

Noting also the contributions made by regional and global climate study organizations and specialized Internet information services, which have led to improved scientific understanding and prediction capabilities in the area of climate variability,

In its first assessment, in 1990, the IPCC commented that observed temperature increases were broadly consistent with predictions of climate models, but it is also of the same magnitude as natural climate variability.

Like many other small island developing States, Barbados faces a high degree of vulnerability occasioned by climate change, climate variability and other phenomena such as the increased frequency and intensity of natural disasters.
