Sentences with phrase «cloud cover»

The role of cloud cover in the determining albedo is illustrated as follows.

The problem is, temperature increases before CO2 and the positive feedback is actually negative, partly because of increased cloud cover.

The amount of low cloud cover impacts the planet's temperature.

With cloud cover swinging over a three percent range, shouldn't this connection be modeled?

The 4 % decline in cloud cover from 1983 to 2009 is presumably an average.

Solar output varies throughout the day and through the seasons, and is affected by cloud cover.

-- and don't forget the warming in the latter part of the 20th century only lasted for 22 years due to decreased cloud cover following on from a 30 year period of cooling.

As the total cloud cover increases, the first effect acts to reduce the warming (a negative feedback) while the second effect acts to increase it (positive feedback).

So the jury is still out regarding whether or not there's a long - term trend in low - level cloud cover.

More cloud cover through the morning before clearing up by late morning for another hot and humid afternoon.

They found that there is a negative correlation between cloud cover and sea surface temperature apparent on a long time scale — again suggesting a positive cloud - climate feedback in this region.

Increasing cloud cover causes rising temperatures, which in turn causes more evaporation and therefore more clouds and higher temperatures and so on, and so on.

Second, with less cloud cover, more infrared radiation can escape to space, thereby creating a strong climate - stabilizing negative cloud feedback that prevents significant warming from increasing greenhouse gases.

The mechanism most often presented is planetary cloud cover increases or decreases in a manner to resist a change in planetary temperature.

Due to pronounced cloud cover during summer, and occasional during winter periods, the daily data coverage can be very sparse.

While reducing cloud cover does indeed let more infrared energy out, it also lets more sunlight in.

To really appreciate the true solar effect on climate it is necessary to include chemical changes and total solar influenced cloud cover to see the real picture.

One thing that a discerning price action trader may have considered is that the candles making up this dark cloud cover aren't particularly large.

Then there is question of how much SST data is available through cloud cover?

Local currents and / or cloud cover patterns must have contributed.

[23] It is cloudy year - round, with mean cloud cover ranging from 60 % in winter to over 80 % in summer.

There is however separate proof that a casual link exists between cosmic rays and climate, and independently that cosmic rays left a fingerprint in the observed cloud cover variations.

If solar is increased by feedbacks (like cloud cover), that will give the same fit of past temperature data at the cost of combined GHG + aerosol.
