  "term": "Climate signal",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A detectable change in a climate variable that is attributable to a specific forcing mechanism, often anthropogenic, and distinguishable from natural climate variability. Identifying a climate signal requires statistical analysis to separate the forced response from the background noise of natural fluctuations. For example, the global warming trend is considered a climate signal of increased greenhouse gas concentrations.",
