«Which of those is correct at this stage is unknown, but the droughts being driven by atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations is in line with some of these global circulation models,» Lewis said.

The researchers find that «ocean - driven melt is an important driver of Antarctic ice shelf retreat where warm water is in contact with shelves, but in high greenhouse - gas emissions scenarios, atmospheric warming soon overtakes the ocean as the dominant driver of Antarctic ice loss.»

«The atmospheric and oceanic CO2 increase is being driven by the burning of fossil fuels,» says Pieter Tans, a senior scientist at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Earth System Research Laboratory, who leads the U.S. government effort to monitor global greenhouse gas levels.

«We are beginning to see the links in a chain that begins with solar - driven processes acting on gas in the upper atmosphere and leads to atmospheric loss,» said Bruce Jakosky, MAVEN principal investigator with the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics at the University of Colorado, Boulder.

By analyzing global water vapor and temperature satellite data for the lower atmosphere, Texas A&M University atmospheric scientist Andrew Dessler and his colleagues found that warming driven by carbon dioxide and other gases allowed the air to hold more moisture, increasing the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere.

People who work in this field, called atmospheric scientists, use computers and math to model the properties of Earth's atmosphere that drive weather, climate and the movement of gases and pollutants through the air.

Previous Mars missions detected energetic solar fields and particles that could drive atmospheric gases away from Mars.

A water based system doesn't achieve much, as the oceans participate in weather and climate, but aren't the primary driving forces, which are global atmospheric circulation patterns and greenhouse gases etc..

Now with «Midnight Special,» Wingo makes full use of that musically atmospheric gas to truly drive into The Twilight Zone.

The vast majority of research in recent decades on the carbon dioxide buildup has been focused on the atmospheric impacts of the accumulating greenhouse - gas blanket even though the vast majority of the heated trapped by these gases has gone first into the seas — and the drop in seawater pH driven by CO2 has been a clear signal of substantial environmental change.

There's been much discussion recently of quick, cheap steps, with many benefits, that could slow warming driven by the atmospheric buildup of heat - trapping greenhouse gases.

A water based system doesn't achieve much, as the oceans participate in weather and climate, but aren't the primary driving forces, which are global atmospheric circulation patterns and greenhouse gases etc..

The radiative effects of human emissions of ozone - depleting substances and greenhouse gases have driven marked atmospheric cooling at stratospheric altitudes.

This necessitates taking into account atmospheric radiative transfer so that any SST warming is driven by radiative changes (e.g., changes in greenhouse gas concentrations) and resultant changes in the surface fluxes.

«Continuing to increase burning coal, oil and gas will soon drive atmospheric CO2 well over 400 ppm and ignite a devil's cauldron of melted icecaps, bubbling permafrost, and combustible forests from which there will be no turning back,» Hansen says.

External processes such as the increase in the concentration of greenhouse gases and variability due to volcanic eruptions are also important for driving variability in atmospheric circulation patterns.

Since rising levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide — emitted from the combustion of coal, gas and oil — are what drives global warming, there is no shortage of raw material for the experiment.

''... with regard to the IPCC claim that «the increase in atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases (including CO2) is the driving force for climate warming,» they note the following four problems:

Most CM experiments based on RCPs will be driven by greenhouse gas concentrations (Hibbard et al. 2007).8 Furthermore, many Earth system models do not contain a full atmospheric chemistry model, and thus require exogenous inputs of three - dimensional distributions for reactive gases, oxidant fields, and aerosol loadings.

One idea was that increased IR radiated from water vapour in these air masses could off - set expansion due to release of latent heat, and ad drive horizontal circulation This had to be attacked as it showed a role for radiative gases in atmospheric circulation.

«Whilst there are certainly other potential drivers of changes in the climate we know that over the last century we have greatly increased the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere and, through detection and attribution analyses, we know that the rising levels of atmospheric CO2 and other greenhouse gases have driven the rise in global temperature,» King said.

The Knights of Consensus can not allow any heresy involving atmospheric circulation being driven by radiative gases so they tried to trash the paper.
