Sentences with phrase «cloud radiative component»

There is also a cloud radiative component.

Not exact matches

Or does he perhaps mean that slow components, like the ocean, modulate the clouds, and the resulting cloud radiative forcing amplifies or damps the resulting interannual or decadal variability?

If he succeeds in showing that there is negligible radiative forcing present, then Dessler 2010 is defended, and he can move on and easily address and dismiss the secondary question — whether or not there was a CLOUD forcing component involved.

The second is that it rebutts Dessler 2010, who used a zero - lag regression of flux derivative for clear - sky and all - sky data, under a stated assumption of no significant radiative forcing component during the period 2000 to 2010, to conclude that cloud feedback really is positive.

Motivated by findings that major components of so - called cloud «feedbacks» are best understood as rapid responses to CO2 forcing (Gregory and Webb in J Clim 21:58 — 71, 2008), the top of atmosphere (TOA) radiative effects from forcing, and the subsequent responses to global surface temperature changes from all «atmospheric feedbacks» (water vapour, lapse rate, surface albedo, «surface temperature» and cloud) are examined in detail in a General Circulation Model.

In all calculations of A, TA, t A, and of the radiative flux components, the presence or absence of clouds was ignored; the calculations refer only to the greenhouse gas components of the atmosphere registered in the radiosonde data; we call this the quasi-all-sky protocol.

In all calculations of A, TA,, and of the radiative flux components, the presence or absence of clouds was ignored; the calculations refer only to the greenhouse gas components of the atmosphere registered in the radiosonde data; we call this the quasi-all-sky protocol.

The direct and indirect radiative effects of aerosols suspended in the atmosphere above clouds (ACA) are a highly uncertain component of both regional and global climate.

For a comprehensive GCM I can count oceans, land, atmosphere, ice, biological processes, organic and inorganic chemical processes, human - made sources and other effects, radiative energy transport, conduction and convective heat transfer, phase change, clouds and aerosols, as some of the important system components, phenomena, and processes.
