Sentences with phrase «aerosol loading over»

When analyzed together with the aerosol loading over the same area at the same time, the outcome, says Koren, was a «textbook demonstration of the invigoration effect» of added aerosols on clouds.

The Hadcm3 model has calculated the largest increase in temperature which may be attributed to the reduction of aerosol load (40 %) over the period 1990 - 1999 somewhere in NE Europe, other models do that more in Southern Europe.

The localized cooling between about 1950 and 1970 over industrial regions such as Europe and Southeast Asia, where anthropogenic sulfate aerosol loadings were high, is consistent with the expected cooling effect of sulfate aerosols.

The first part of this thesis compares the seasonal cycle and interannual variability of Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) and Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) satellite retrievals over the Northern Hemisphere subtropical Atlantic Ocean, where soil dust aerosols make the largest contribution to the aerosol load, and are assumed to dominate the variability of each data set.

Here's a paper (Sutton et al GRL 2007) Note, however, that they used 1 % pa CO2 runs and realistic aerosol loading will (I expect) reduce this ratio by primarily cooling over land.

There is also a fairly large increase in modelled sulfate load over the Tropical North Atlantic from about 1960, which is presumably the main cause of modelled present day strong aerosol forcing off the West African coast, as depicted in Booth et al. figure 4b.
