The very pretty thermographs prove that the sensor is not affected by the local walls — sensor colour is cool -(although I am certain Mr. Watts did not normalise the radiative properties of the sensor and surface — wrecking the accuracy of this reading — e.g. a glossy surface can reflect the surrounding temperature and not the surface temp of the unit).
Aerosols directly affect the climate by scattering and absorbing radiation, and indirectly affect climate by altering cloud radiative properties, duration and amount.
The current focus of the program is aerosol radiative forcing of climate: aerosol formation and evolution and aerosol properties that affect direct and indirect influences on climate and climate change.»
Aerosol changes between those climate states are appropriately included as a fast feedback, not only because aerosols respond rapidly to changing climate but also because there are multiple aerosol compositions, they have complex radiative properties and they affect clouds in several ways, thus making accurate knowledge of their glacial — interglacial changes inaccessible.
«While we have hypotheses about how the radiative properties may be affected within a single cloud,» Anna Possner explains, «we are limited in our understanding of how the presence of ice crystals impacts the areal coverage and reflective properties on the scale of an entire cloud field.»
