«Somewhat counter-intuitively, a land — sea surface warming ratio greater than unity during transient climate
change is actually not mainly a result of the differing thermal inertias of land and
ocean, but primarily originates in the differing
properties of the surface and boundary layer (henceforth BL) over land and
ocean (Manabe et al. 1991; Sutton et al. 2007; Joshi et al. 2008 (henceforth JGW08), Dong et al. 2009) as well as differing cloud feedbacks (Fasullo 2010; Andrews et al. 2010).»
Temperature tends to respond so that, depending on optical
properties, LW emission will tend to reduce the vertical differential heating by cooling warmer parts more than cooler parts (for the surface and atmosphere); also (not significant within the atmosphere and
ocean in general, but significant at the interface betwen the surface and the air, and also significant (in part due to the small heat fluxes involved, viscosity in the crust and somewhat in the mantle (where there are thick boundary layers with superadiabatic lapse rates) and thermal conductivity of the core) in parts of the Earth's interior) temperature
changes will cause conduction / diffusion of heat that partly balances the differential heating.
They also ignored the processes involved, including, but not limited to, the differences in
properties of grazed lands compared to woodlands, the effect of the
ocean and other sequestration sinks, and the fact the while undergoing deterioration and desertification, poorly managed grasslands are an emission source instead of a sequestration sink due to land use
changes.
That's ironic that you mention that particular
property of CO2, because there are scientist that theorize that, since CO2 is heavier, the GCM models are not correct — most CO2 produced at Earth's surface NEVER gets well mixed in fact most CO2 gets removed by rainfall, or gets absorbed by plants or the
ocean long before it can cause any
change in the so - called Greenhouse gas effect (but the GHG theory is not correct anyway) and the fact that they have severly underestimated CO2 upweelinng from the dee
Global
ocean changes result from regional
changes in these
properties, assessed in this section.
There is a risk that small
changes in the radiative
properties of the atmosphere, in terrestrial hydrology and in
ocean chemistry can trigger large responses in the Earth system.
NASA's P - 3 research plane begins flights this month through both clouds and smoke over the South Atlantic
Ocean to understand how aerosols

The fact is that temperature effects CO2 by
changing the soluability of carbonic acid in the
oceans and CO2 effects temperature due to its radiative

Funny, but I haven't noticed any

«
Changes in basal melting are helping to
change the
properties of Antarctic bottom water, which is one component of the
ocean's overturning circulation,» said author Stan Jacobs, an oceanographer at Columbia University's Lamont - Doherty Earth Observatory in Palisades, N.Y. «In some areas it also impacts ecosystems by driving coastal upwelling, which brings up micronutrients like iron that fuel persistent plankton blooms in the summer.»

Although we focus on a hypothesized CR - cloud connection, we note that it is difficult to separate
changes in the CR flux from accompanying variations in solar irradiance and the solar wind, for which numerous causal links to climate have also been proposed, including: the influence of UV spectral irradiance on stratospheric heating and dynamic stratosphere - troposphere links (Haigh 1996); UV irradiance and radiative damage to phytoplankton influencing the release of volatile precursor compounds which form sulphate aerosols over
ocean environments (Kniveton et al. 2003); an amplification of total solar irradiance (TSI) variations by the addition of energy in cloud - free regions enhancing tropospheric circulation features (Meehl et al. 2008; Roy & Haigh 2010); numerous solar - related influences (including solar wind inputs) to the
properties of the global electric circuit (GEC) and associated microphysical cloud
changes (Tinsley 2008).
To date, much of the focus of
ocean acidification research has been on the response of calcifiers, both algae and invertebrates, to the
changing carbonate system, with a particular preoccupation on one
property: the hydrogen ion concentration [H +], which is frequently reported as pH owing to the relative ease of its measurement.
Evan, could it be that
changes in the
ocean modulate the addition of our emissions to the atmosphere, becuase these
changes would alter the
properties of the
ocean as a sink?
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 +

ocean and climate.
