Sentences with phrase «compensating aerosol increases»

Not exact matches

Basic physical science considerations, exploratory climate modeling, and the impacts of volcanic aerosols on climate all suggest that SWCE could partially compensate for some effects — particularly net global warming — of increased atmospheric CO2.

While SO2 emissions may have had some small role in that period, they can't have a role in the current standstill, as the increase of emissions in SE Asia is compensated by the decrease in emissions in the Western world, thus there is hardly any increase in cooling aerosols while CO2 levels are going up at record speed and temperatures are stalled.

The (lack of) skill of the current GCM's always wondered me and I have been suspicious about the use of human aerosols as a convenient «tuning knob» to fit the past, and even so not so good, especially not in current times where the reduction of aerosols in the Western world is near fully compensated by the increase in SE Asia.

McCusker et al. (2012) performed an experiment in which global - mean surface temperature was held constant by increasing CO2 while simultaneously increasing sulfate aerosol... to compensate.

It can also strengthen the Asian summer monsoon circulation and cause a local increase in precipitation, despite the global reduction of evaporation that compensates aerosol radiative heating at the surface (Miller et al., 2004b).

In response to increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases and tropospheric sulfate aerosols, the multimodel average exhibits a positive annular trend in both hemispheres, with decreasing sea level pressure (SLP) over the pole and a compensating increase in midlatitudes.
