Sentences with phrase «brown ocean effect»

Where Julia formed hasn't seen much rain so this isn't a textbook example of the brown ocean effect, but the atmosphere was certainly primed for storm formation.

Not exact matches

To take a specific example, the largest deviation (missing heat) was adequately explanained by increased heat exchange between 0 - 700 and 700 - 2000m ocean layers, so would it now be time to get the Arctic ice loss and the China - India brown cloud effect on Siberia and North Pacific correct?

This, even though over the Indian Ocean basin Ramanathan's team found that sooty brown clouds enhance heating by half of CO2's claimed effect, not masking it by half as had previously been thought.

Topics that I work on or plan to work in the future include studies of: + missing aerosol species and sources, such as the primary oceanic aerosols and their importance on the remote marine atmosphere, the in - cloud and aerosol water aqueous formation of organic aerosols that can lead to brown carbon formation, the primary terrestrial biological particles, and the organic nitrogen + missing aerosol parameterizations, such as the effect of aerosol mixing on cloud condensation nuclei and aerosol absorption, the semi-volatility of primary organic aerosols, the importance of in - canopy processes on natural terrestrial aerosol and aerosol precursor sources, and the mineral dust iron solubility and bioavailability + the change of aerosol burden and its spatiotemporal distribution, especially with regard to its role and importance on gas - phase chemistry via photolysis rates changes and heterogeneous reactions in the atmosphere, as well as their effect on key gas - phase species like ozone + the physical and optical properties of aerosols, which affect aerosol transport, lifetime, and light scattering and absorption, with the latter being very sensitive to the vertical distribution of absorbing aerosols + aerosol - cloud interactions, which include cloud activation, the aerosol indirect effect and the impact of clouds on aerosol removal + changes on climate and feedbacks related with all these topics In order to understand the climate system as a whole, improve the aerosol representation in the GISS ModelE2 and contribute to future IPCC climate change assessments and CMIP activities, I am also interested in understanding the importance of natural and anthropogenic aerosol changes in the atmosphere on the terrestrial biosphere, the ocean and climate.
