When magnetic reconnection occurs between two clouds of plasma that have the same density, the exhaust flow is wildly unstable — flapping about like a garden hose with too much water pressure.
«Probability density function,» a statistical representation of the likelihood of something occurring at any point in time, was used to examine cloud properties, including vertical motion, liquid and ice water content, and the conditions of cloud particle growth, including how ice crystals grow at the expense of liquid droplets.
Our distribution loop got clogged with low density water and we had a backup of heat until our heater over heated and blew off steam in the form evaporating ocean water which made a swirling cloud called a hurricane.
This argument hinges on the contention that more water vapor means greater density of water droplets in the active rising updraft of the storm clouds.
These particles would create more water droplets, increasing the clouds» density and making them more reflective.
«In the real world, convection is intensely variable and clouds have wide gradients in water vapor density and vertical velocity,» says Miyamoto.
CO2 could impact the atmosphere in other ways: changes in specific heat capacity, density, interaction with water droplets and cloud formation.
A change in clouds may reflect it or if the optical density of the atmosphere due to water + CO2 (+ everything else) is already saturated at those wavelengths then no additional energy will get added.
Somewhat late, but if condensation drives winds by a decreasing the number density of water vapor in the air, then as clouds form they should shrink in size due to the negative pressure.
It seems GISS haven't heard about thin cloud, varying water vapour, dust and aerosols, which reduce the apparent brightness of urban sites, which GISS uses to estimate population density for the adjustments.
RHumidity increases in winter because water vapour density decreases hence more clouds.....
Is there any likelihood a bloom of plankton (from a freshwater pulse, or fallout of a dust cloud full of minerals, for example) would change the temperature of the surface water (change the reflectivity, I suppose, or change how much is absorbed by making more complicated molecules for photosynthesis)-- sufficient to make the water mass density change, affecting whether it sinks or not?
