Sentences with phrase «cloud changes»

You have to watch clouds change in response to a change in the environment — a dynamic view — to get better insights.

A key to a lot of this is how clouds change, and one needs to get clouds right in the first place to have confidence in the results.

In particular, they propose that cloud changes associated with aerosol particles in the atmosphere could be causing the weekend effect, though other pollution processes can not be ruled out at this time.

Surface and satellite observations disagree about total and low - level cloud changes over the ocean.

Surface and satellite observations disagree on changes in total and low - level cloud changes over the ocean.

So was there a climate shift after the turn of the century involving changes in ocean and atmospheric circulation involving cloud changes?

It also changes over the shorter term as a result of cloud changes.

One of the biggest uncertainties for the science relate to the feedback mechanisms, from water vapour and cloud changes in particular, that arise when the atmosphere warms.

So low - level cloud changes can't be the cause.

For one thing — as Norris noted — it is difficult to distinguish between greenhouse gas — driven cloud changes and volcano - driven changes in the study's time period.

Here we show that several independent, empirically corrected satellite records exhibit large - scale patterns of cloud change between the 1980s and the 2000s that are similar to those produced by model simulations of climate with recent historical external radiative forcing.

Wouldn't including cloud changes simply alter the effect of their parameterisation tweaks for each run — they would simply use different values to get a spread of sensitivities.

Earth's measured energy imbalance has been used to infer the climate forcing by aerosols, with two independent analyses yielding a forcing in the past decade of about − 1.5 W / m2 [64], [72], including the direct aerosol forcing and indirect effects via induced cloud changes.

Perhaps Spencer could try to relate secular cloud changes as internal variations superimposed on a rising trend (he at least seems to admit that the 2x CO2 non-feedback value is 1.2 C).

However, Dessler also plots climate model results and finds that they also simulate negative time regression slopes when cloud changes lead temperature changes.

Observed and simulated cloud change patterns are consistent with poleward retreat of mid-latitude storm tracks, expansion of subtropical dry zones, and increasing height of the highest cloud tops at all latitudes.

Chepfer, H., Noel, V., Winker, D. & Chiriaco, M. Where and when will we observe cloud changes due to climate warming?

Other anthropogenic forcings consist of black carbon (soot, formed by incomplete combustion), reflective aerosols (tiny airborne particles that reflect sunlight back to space), soil or dust, land cover changes, and forced cloud changes.
