The strongest Degree natural Cause fluctuation of climate Patient on interannual timescales Duration is the ENSO phenomenon (see Box 4). [ 11IPCCBILAN2001 0 MCLH 26/06/2013 ]

The term "climate variability" refers to shorter term (years to decades) Duration fluctuations in climate Patient such as those caused by El Niño/Southern Oscillation. [ 3CANADAENVIRON 0 MCLH 26/06/2013 ]

Fluctuations in fish abundance Patient are increasingly regarded as biological responses to medium-term climate fluctuations in addition to overfishing and other anthropogenic factors. [ 3IPCCCONSEQUENCE 0 MCLH 26/06/2013 ]

Examples include the periodic Frequency fluctuations in the climate and hydrographic regime of the Barents Sea Patient , which have been reflected in variations in commercial fish production over the last 100 years. [ 2IPCCBIODIVERSITE 0 26/06/2013 ]

The climate Patient has undergone fluctuations on all timescales Duration long before the human race had any impact. [ JACLET 0 MCLH 26/06/2013 ]

We now have a relatively clear record of such climatic Patient fluctuations over the last 2 million years Duration . [ ENCY 0 MCLH 26/06/2013 ]

Some short- term Duration climatic Patient fluctuations may also be related to minor changes in the intensity of the sun 's radiation that accompany the sunspot cycle. [ 2CANADACCD9801 0 MCLH 26/06/2013 ]

A significant part of these climatic Patient fluctuations is due to perturbations in the elliptical trajectory of the Earth around the Sun caused by the major planets (Jupiter, Saturn), which modify the insolation Cause . [ JACLET 0 MCLH 26/06/2013 ]

The system has significant natural internal variability Cause that causes fluctuations in climate conditions Patient from one region to the next and one decade to the next. [ 6CANADAQFP 0 MCLH 26/06/2013 ]

In general, tidal marsh accretion tracks sea-level rise and fluctuations in the rate of sea-level rise Patient , but the maximum sustainable rate of accretion is variable. In areas where sediment supply is low or the backshore environment contains a fixed infrastructure, marsh front erosion can occur in concert with sea-level rise causing a substantial loss of coastal wetlands. [ 2IPCCBIODIVERSITE 0 MCLH 26/06/2013 ]

Within the latest present interglacial period, further Degree fluctuations in the global climate Patient can be seen in the palaeoclimatic records and more recently in the instrumental records. [ ENCY 0 MCLH 26/06/2013 ]

Given increasing demands, the prevalence and sensitivity of many simple water management systems to fluctuations in precipitation and runoff Patient , and the considerable time and expense required to implement many adaptation measures, the water resources sector in many regions and countries is vulnerable to potential changes in climate. [ 7IPCCREGION 0 MCLH 26/06/2013 ]

Fluctuations in Atlantic Sea Surface Temperatures (SSTs) Patient are related to the strength of the NAO, and a modest two-way interaction between the NAO and the Atlantic Ocean, leading to decadal variability, is emerging as important in projecting climate change.
