Not exact matches

Here's an example of your general illogic: Suppose we had a time period in which the planet's albedo decreased (fewer clouds or aerosols, let's say) but the average surface temperature of the planet also decreased.

Here is a quick summary of the issue: The effects of aerosols on clouds consist of three linked elements.

Here I summarize two recent papers that model solar radiation management: the practice of offsetting global warming by partially blocking sunlight, whether by seeding clouds, adding sulfate aerosols to the stratosphere, or placing giant mirrors in space.

Based on evidence from Earth's history, we suggest here that the relevant form of climate sensitivity in the Anthropocene (e.g. from which to base future greenhouse gas (GHG) stabilization targets) is the Earth system sensitivity including fast feedbacks from changes in water vapour, natural aerosols, clouds and sea ice, slower surface albedo feedbacks from changes in continental ice sheets and vegetation, and climate — GHG feedbacks from changes in natural (land and ocean) carbon sinks.

«Here, it is sufficient to note that many of the 20CEN / A1B simulations neglect negative forcings arising from stratospheric ozone depletion, volcanic dust, and indirect aerosol effects on clouds... It is likely that omission of these negative forcings contributes to the positive bias in the model average TLT trends in Figure 6F.

We focus here on observed relationships between GCR and aerosol and cloud properties.

Professor Slingo: Our view in the Met Office on geo - engineering activities - and we are talking principally here about solar management, so stratospheric aerosols, cloud seeding and so forth - is that we understand very well now that even the very simple forcing of the global system, which we have done through carbon dioxide, has huge regional ramifications and the same would be true with geo - engineering.

The forcing aspect of the indirect effect at the top of the atmosphere is discussed in Chapter 2, while the processes that involve feedbacks or interactions, like the «cloud lifetime effect» [6], the «semi-direct effect» and aerosol impacts on the large - scale circulation, convection, the biosphere through nutrient supply and the carbon cycle, are discussed here.

You then asked «Or perhaps you can point me to the dataset that shows, for several individual locations for the same period as the temperature set the: * CO2 concentrations (OK, we could use Mauna Loa for that) * Aerosols (sorry, can't use global records for that, there can be huge differences on a local scale) * Absolute humidity * TSI with correction for local albedo, including cloud albedo, and the place on earth» Well actually, I can and have for the USA in terms of CO2, humidity (RH but AH also if you insist), and albedo, not to mention actual solar surface radiation, and various other variables (eg windspeed), as I have previously reported here for quite a few locations, eg Pt Barrow.
