The more the acronyms, the more respected the peer-reviewed article? I typically enjoy reading about climate science, oceanography and extreme weather. However, some of the technical articles are becoming overloaded with acronyms. One of the recent articles in Nature by Bereiter, and colleagues is a good example.
Here’s a few of their acronym loaded sentences:
“MOT is a S-GAST biased parameter….so the synchronicity of MOT and AAT/CO2 is consistent with GAST lagging AAT/CO2.”
“The close relation between our MOT record and AAT/AMOC changes as well as the strong warming during the YD1.”
“It is not straightforward to constrain the LGM-Holocene ASST or GAST change from the MOT change we derive here.”
“The AMOC switched to its strong state, which in turn starts cooling AABW, making it again harder for the AMOC to sustain its strength as AABW becomes denser again.”
I counted over 20 acronyms in…
