Sentences with phrase «change in cloudiness»

Your earlier # 182 was equally disconcerting where you quoted Norris and Slingo (2009) saying «At present, it is not known whether changes in cloudiness will exacerbate, mitigate, or have little effect on the increasing global surface temperature caused by anthropogenic greenhouse radiative forcing.»

A small change in cloudiness over the rest of the Earth's surface can be far more important than major changes in the area of the ice caps.

It has been proposed that Earth's climate could be affected by changes in cloudiness caused by variations in the intensity of galactic cosmic rays in the atmosphere.

They turned around the question: when there is a sudden change in cloudiness, is there also a change in the amount of cosmic radiation measured?

Possible explanations include greenhouse effects such as changes in cloudiness, aerosol loading, atmospheric water vapor content, or carbon dioxide.

The rather large ERF arises mainly from changes in cloudiness, especially in Europe.

In turn, random fluctuations in sea surface temperature due to ocean circulation patterns, etc., might cause concomitant changes in cloudiness, which would affect the radiation balance, and hence the temperature.

These disparities in how cloud cover is observed contribute to the lack of consistency between surface - and satellite - measured changes in cloudiness.

As the Earth's climate changes, we can not predict whether the net effect of these interactive changes in cloudiness and other elements of the climate system will tend to amplify or reduce the change in climate.

Consequently, as they say slightly earlier in the abstract: «At present, it is not known whether changes in cloudiness will exacerbate, mitigate, or have little effect on the increasing global surface temperature caused by anthropogenic greenhouse radiative forcing.»

This implied that changes in cloudiness and sunlight were the dominant force determining the fate of ice.

25 Uncertainties Changes in atmospheric water vapor — Changes in cloudiness — Changes in albedo Carbon budgets Aerosol particles — Direct effects — Impact on clouds — Black carbon

The findings did meet with a lot of skepticism during the early 20th Century: the objections were centered around claims of oversimplification, failure to factor in changes in cloudiness, and results of laboratory tests by another Swede, Knut Ångström (1857 - 1910).
