Sentences with phrase «atmospheric cooling»

"Atmospheric cooling" refers to a decrease in the average temperature of the Earth's atmosphere. It means that the air around us is getting colder over a certain period of time. Full definition
So we have the surprising logical conclusion that GHGs should actually facilitate atmospheric cooling by permitting upward radiation which could not otherwise occur.
GHG atmospheric warming and atmospheric cooling delay, are physically real processes; that virtually nobody disputes.
As in previous tables, signs are chosen so that increased atmospheric cooling is positive.
Interestingly, the effect of atmospheric cooling due to an AMOC collapse is associated with heat flow from the atmosphere into the ocean, which has been witnessed during the climate hiatus of the last 15 years.
In 1815, the Indonesian volcano Tambora propelled more ash and volcanic gases into the atmosphere than any other eruption in history and resulted in significant atmospheric cooling on a global scale, much like Krakatau a few decades later.
Other aerosols can bring about temporary atmospheric cooling, mainly by seeding clouds that linger in the atmosphere longer than they normally would, or by scattering light.
During this second cycle, weathering of the larger amount of rock caused even greater atmospheric cooling, spurring a profound glaciation about 2.3 to 2.4 billion years ago.
b) That despite 30 years of anomalous ocean surface warmth the oceans were not the cause (but it is accepted that recent ocean cooling is the cause of recent atmospheric cooling).
In the case where there is a skin temperature that only depends on solar heating of the planet with no solar heating above the troposphere, an increase in GHG forcing would still result in upper atmospheric cooling, but this cooling would only be transient.
The effect of atmospheric cooling due to an AMOC collapse is associated with heat flow from the atmosphere into the ocean, which has been witnessed during the climate hiatus of the last 15 years.
«Take sulfate aerosols, which are created from burning fossil fuels and contribute to atmospheric cooling...»
In the most general sense, upper atmospheric cooling is a response to a forcing (reduction in net upward LW + SW radiation) that falls with height through the upper atmosphere.
I also remember them, I think it was Patrick Michaels, using some atmospheric cooling as evidence against AGW, but (if I remember correctly) the calculations were off regarding how high in the atmosphere that cooling was happening, and once rectified, it fit with what was expected from AGW.
The CO2 forcing caused the atmospheric cooling rate to decrease.
The authors show how the global - mean precipitation is constrained by the atmospheric cooling.
Note that the atmospheric cooling is the sum of net downwelling surface radiative flux and net upwelling TOA radiative flux: ATM = SFC + TOA...
Since the extra heat, mainly in the the oceans is the equivalent of warming the atmophere by 42 °C, if this heat had been extracted from the atmosphere to warm the oceans we would have seen a drop in Air temperatures of a similar scale: ≈ 40 °C or so of atmospheric cooling.
The $ 20m (# 16m) Harvard University project will launch within weeks and aims to establish whether the technology can safely simulate the atmospheric cooling effects of a volcanic eruption, if a last ditch bid to halt climate change is one day needed.
Eventually they will realize that the value for CO2 is zero and possibly negative because CO2 is an atmospheric cooling agent.
«Take sulfate aerosols, which are created from burning fossil fuels and contribute to atmospheric cooling,» she said.
Greater increases in the amount of aerosol particles create an atmospheric cooling effect.
