The effective temperature Te will remain fixed, since we are not allowing
changes in absorbed solar radiation (for simplicity).
«If there are no while zones on top of the volcanoes, the
solar radiation is
absorbed, which generated an increase
in temperature and local climate
change, like desertification or the inhibition of pluvial precipitation,» Degaldo told SciDev.net
in an interview.
As for direct
solar radiation at the surface, I could update the diagrams to show that the the remaining energy is
absorbed by the atmosphere instead, but it doesn't
change the argument
in any significant fashion.
When melting sets
in, the amount of melt becomes very sensitive to
changes in air temperature or
absorbed solar radiation, since any increase
in the energy input can not be offset by a rise
in the surface temperature; the whole increment goes directly into driving more melting.
