Sentences with phrase «actual effect of clouds»

Translation: Currently it is mathematically impossible to quantify the actual effect of clouds.

Not exact matches

The actual health effects of these «personal clouds» remain unknown.

Ionisation of the air in cloud chambers does demonstrate increase formation of cloud condensation nuclei but it is not clear that in the actual atmosphere in the presence of natural CCN this effect will manifest itself in any significant changes.

When you compare this with the actual surface temperature of ~ 288 K and the temperature in absence of the greenhouse effect but no change in albedo of ~ 255 K, what we can say is the follows: The greenhouse effect due to all the greenhouse gases (water vapor, clouds, and the long - lived GHGs like CO2 and CH4) raises the temperature of the Earth by an amount of ~ 33 K (which is 288K — 255K); the albedo due to cloud reduces the temperature by ~ 17 K (which is 272 K — 255 K); the net effect of both the GHGs and the cloud albedo is ~ 16 K (which is 288K — 272K).

And the press releases from CERN have also been quite factual, simply stating that the cloud nucleation mechanism by cosmic rays in the presence of certain naturally occurring aerosols has been validated, but cautioning that this does not mean that this effect in our actual climate system has yet been confirmed.

Putting the two formulas together, a theoretical additional factor of 2.06 multiplier due to the greenhouse effect becomes an actual multiplier of 0.226, thanks to negative factors like increases in albedo due to clouds, decreases in lapse rate, etc..

However, the actual magnitude of the effect depends on many other factors such as cloud change during readjustment.
