Sentences with phrase «atmospheric residence time»

There is also the difference in atmospheric residence time or the fact you'd have to keep increasing aerosols as CO2 increases, and at larger rates.

The reason why sulfate aerosols rather than solid particles are being considered is primarily atmospheric residence time and partly because of the experience with volcanic aerosols.

Solomon argues that «long - term temperature change remains primarily associated with total cumulative carbon emissions, owing to [their] much longer atmospheric residence time.»

1) Figure 1 in the report you cite states that atmospheric residence times for CO2 are 3 years, which seems at odds with the stated residence times of 50 - 200 years elsewhere in this blog (and from many other sources).

The GISP2 ∼ 3.5 yr sample resolution could potentially under - sample a nitrate or ammonium increase (Mayewski et al., 1997) because both compounds have atmospheric residence times of a few years.

The vast majority of greenhouse gases (GHGs) exhibit relatively long atmospheric residence times, some upwards of a hundred years, creating a lag time between the release of atmospheric pollution and realization of the actual side - effects.

In the Science paper, Ramanathan and colleagues note that «the suppression of precipitation by aerosols prolongs their atmospheric residence time, further enhancing their impacts.»

However, it is quite conceivable that any actual real - world SRM geoengineering could be conducted with specifically - designed particles such as titania dioxide, which have a short atmospheric residence time, allowing for different amounts of SRM geoengineering to be used in different parts of the world.

Researchers calculate SCC by summing the extra impacts for as long as the extra tonne remains in the atmosphere — a process which requires a model of atmospheric residence time and a means of discounting economic values back to the year of emission.

Some estimate the atmospheric residence time of gaseous CO2 at four years, so the fuels combusted today presumably will not be available to assist photosynthesis during the next ice age.

«Furthermore, the atmospheric residence time of CO2 is exceedingly long, being measured in thousands of years (23).
