Greenhouse gases have a cooling effect on the stratosphere, and climate change is likely to also
alter atmospheric transport and circulation patterns.
Not exact matches
Because air temperature significantly
alters atmospheric dynamics, which in turn affects moisture
transport, scientists speculate that this increase of high altitude moisture may be tied to global warming.
An
atmospheric general circulation model coupled to a simple mixed layer ocean was forced with
altered implied ocean heat
transports during a period of increasing trace gases.
These anomalies are then
transported by major ocean currents to locations where the stored energy is released into the atmosphere,
altering atmospheric pressure and moisture patterns that can ultimately affect regional precipitation.
