"Feed-back climático" refers to an essential concept in climate science that describes the interactions within the climate system that can either amplify or dampen the effects of external forcing on the climate. These interactions can occur through various mechanisms, such as changes in ice albedo, water vapor, or cloud cover. This term is used both in oral and written contexts, especially in discussions about climate change and its impacts.
Examples:
El feed-back climático puede tener un impacto significativo en el calentamiento global.
(Climate feedback can have a significant impact on global warming.)
Los científicos están estudiando los mecanismos del feed-back climático para mejorar las predicciones climáticas.
(Scientists are studying the mechanisms of climate feedback to enhance climate predictions.)
Idiomatic Expressions:
"Dar marcha atrás en el feed-back climático" (to backtrack on climate feedback)
"Tener en cuenta el feed-back climático" (to take climate feedback into account)
"El feed-back climático juega un papel crucial en el cambio climático" (climate feedback plays a crucial role in climate change)
"Las acciones humanas pueden alterar el feed-back climático" (human actions can alter climate feedback)
Etymology:
The term "feed-back climático" combines the English word "feedback" with the Spanish word "climático," which directly translates to climate. "Feedback" refers to a process in which the output of a system is returned to its input in order to regulate or modify the system, while "climático" pertains to climate.
