MAVEN carries a suite of instruments that have been measuring Mars» atmospheric loss since November 2014.

Not exact matches

Since among the main goals of this mission are the characterization of atmospheric loss processes (with special attention to water) and the identification of their relation to the solar wind (Bougher et al. 2014), major scientific return related to space weather is expected in the next years.

But from an email conversation with Francis, Vavrus, and several other atmospheric scientists this week, it became clear that there may be more questions than answers at this point, given the large amount of natural variability that affects winter weather patterns, and the very short observational record of how the atmosphere responded to extreme losses of sea ice (only five winters of records since 2007).

Since most of the atmosphere was lost as part of a dramatic climate change, MAVEN will make definitive scientific measurement of present - day atmospheric loss that will offer insight into the Red Planet's history.

However, if the loss of Arctic Sea ice has significantly changed global atmospheric circulation patterns, then we are dealing with a different system that has only been in existence since 2007, and we do not know how often to expect crop failures.

It seems the Warmists bet the farm on a correlation between rising atmospheric CO2 and rising temperatures in the period 1976 to 1998, and are at a loss to explain the lack of correlation since then.

It is arguably one of the most advanced of the seven in its impacts, with a 2011 GRL report putting its warming effect as equivalent to around 30 % of atmospheric anthro - CO2, and the recent report putting albedo loss from arctic sea - ice decline since»79 as providing a forcing equivalent on average to that from 25 % of the anthro - CO2 levels during the period.

I wonder if these models recognize the loss of atmospheric water that has occurred since 1948 or do they ignore the reality and build in a water vapour feedback loop to boost the supposed backwelling radiation to the surface.

If the Ocean slowly cools with radiant heat loss to space via warmer Arctic waters and a discernible decrease in atmospheric temps the last 1.5 years since the Super El Nino of 2016, then there should be more atmospheric CO2 uptake by cooling oceans.

But from an email conversation with Francis, Vavrus, and several other atmospheric scientists this week, it became clear that there may be more questions than answers at this point, given the large amount of natural variability that affects winter weather patterns, and the very short observational record of how the atmosphere responded to extreme losses of sea ice (only five winters of records since 2007).

(ii) We have little control over the net gain / loss in atmospheric CO2, since anthropogenic emission is only part of the story, and potentially a small part.

Since forests are — in general — agencies that absorb atmospheric carbon, and help cool the planet, any loss can only accelerate global warming and create even more difficult conditions for the surviving woodlands.
