As that moisture climbs the western side of the Sierras, the upwards motion
causes additional cooling and condensation and leads to the heavier precipitation.
We have some cooling coming up and we must just hope that it does not go the same way as the fifties (too much ice and snow
causing some additional cooling?)
Not exact matches
The model calculations, which are based on data from the CLOUD experiment, reveal that the
cooling effects of clouds are 27 percent less than in climate simulations without this effect as a result of
additional particles
caused by human activity: Instead of a radiative effect of -0.82 W / m2 the outcome is only -0.60 W / m2.
Climate models show that the
additional particles
caused by human activity produce a
cooling effect which partially offsets the greenhouse effect.
According to their models, soot could have
caused about 1 meter's worth of
additional ice melt each year despite
cool temperatures and steady precipitation, they report today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
This distinctive grille has been enlarged to increase airflow to
cool the engine without
causing any
additional drag, and the refined shape blends smoothly with a new hood, whose structural rigidity has been increased.
If the temperature doesn't decline with height in that layer (perhaps because of solar heating), it is still the case that increasing the LW optical thickness will, by concentrating the source of OLR into a yet thinner layer at the top of the atmosphere, remove some of the
cooling of the lower part of the original OLR source (by adding
additional downward LW flux from above, replacing the darkness of space), thus tending to
cause warming there.
The Nature commentary by Penner et al. on which this argument is based actually says that on top of the global warming
caused by carbon dioxide, other short - lived pollutants (such as methane and black carbon)
cause an
additional warming approximately 65 % as much as CO2, and other short - lived pollutants (such as aerosols) also
cause some
cooling.
We do not need models to anticipate that significant rises in atmospheric CO2 concentrations harbor the potential to raise temperatures significantly (Fourier, 1824, Arrhenius, 1896), nor that the warming will
cause more water to evaporate (confirmed by satellite data), nor that the
additional water will further warm the climate, nor that this effect will be partially offset by latent heat release in the troposphere (the «lapse - rate feedback»), nor that greenhouse gas increases will warm the troposphere but
cool the stratosphere, while increases in solar intensity will warm both — one can go on and on
Now the radiation pressure in the cavity between surface and absorber has increased by a factor of 2.7, due to the higher temperature, but the
additional expansion and
cooling this
causes is still utterly negligible (a further 1.7 parts in 1E11).
(That
cooler upwelled water is then warmed by the La Niña -
caused additional sunlight as it travels from east to west across the tropical Pacific, and it collects in an area east of Indonesia called the west Pacific Warm Pool, where it warms the ocean heat content of the tropical Pacific.)
It may become physically damaged if you don't provide
additional cooling, or it may be unstable and
cause your computer to blue - screen or restart.
