He also notes that while the total solar irradiance (TSI) only varies by about.1 % over a solar cycle, the solar UV varies by about 10 % and that secondary
effects on cloud formation may vary up to 30 % over solar cycles.
Perhaps the thresholds for a CRF - cloud correlation was higher then than it has been for the past 40 years (one might imagine that in periods where the air is rather clear of man made aerosols, the threshold for CRF
effects on cloud formation become higher... and so on).
The paper he wrote together with Friis - Christensen in which he found a correlation between solar activity and clouds had a «slight» flaw: it ignored that the period of the study coincided with a big El Nino, and that large scale changes in ocean surface temperature are going to have
an effect on cloud formation.
Chamber research is focused on understanding the lifecycle of organic aerosols, including their formation, growth, aging (oxidation), re-volatilization, and
effect on cloud formation.
Not exact matches
But just as the noise from other bar patrons can still drown out a conversation even if the music is muted, researchers are unable to control for other things that affect reflectivity, such as widespread snowfall, or the
effect an El Niño year might have
on cloud formation.
Despite its smaller ash
cloud, El Chichn emitted more than 40 times the volume of sulfur - rich gases produced by Mt. St. Helens, which revealed that the
formation of atmospheric sulfur aerosols has a more substantial
effect on global temperatures than simply the volume of ash produced during an eruption.
Much of the uncertainty surrounding
clouds»
effect on climate stems from the complexity of
cloud formation.
At least over the oceans, the pre-industrial
cloud conditions would have been considerably different from those of today; this implies that the aerosols we have been adding to the atmosphere may have had a significant
effect on global patterns of
cloud formation and rain.
The research also appears to solve one of the great unknowns of climate sensitivity, the role of
cloud formation and whether this will have a positive or negative
effect on global warming.

New modelling methods provide more precise information than ever
on the

However, I am not optimistic — the specifics of the small scale physics (aerosol indirect
effects on clouds, sea ice
formation, soil hydrology etc.) are so heterogeneous that I don't see how you can do without calculating the details.
Microclimate really DO measure the turbulence around a scotts pine
on its own and in a forest, checking what
effect that has
on cloud formation, convective lift and lots of other things.
wilt, the paper you cite describes what in their view is a «small but statistically significant
effect of cosmic rays
on cloud formation, which in no way invalidates the large and significant

For some unexplained reason there have been a large number of coronal holes
on the surface of the sun, in low latitude positions during solar magnetic cycle 24, however due to the reduction in the solar wind density the solar wind bursts have less
effect on cloud modulation which explains why there has suddenly be an increase sea ice in the Antarctic, a recovery of sea ice in the Arctic, and an inhibiting of the
formation of El Niño events.
In addition, the larger amount of open water leads to more moisture in the air, which affects the
formation of
clouds that have their own
effect on warming, either enhancing or reducing it.
I predict it will be met with the same additude that the study
on the
effect of cosmic rays has
on cloud formation was.

effect on cosmic rays and their
effect on low
cloud formation?
As far as the overall heat balance is concerned, these are all negligible (some of them may of course have other

I was impressed that Singer highlighted the correlation between temperature and solar activity (and its corresponding
effect on cosmic rays and low -
cloud formation) that seems to have been dismissed by the IPCC.
On the other hand, if some of the anthropogenic aerosols act as ice nuclei, supercooled
clouds could be converted into ice
clouds by the glaciation indirect
effect (Lohmann, 2002), resulting in more efficient precipitation
formation.
A small change in any of the parameters that can be linked to the

clouds and overcast conditions will have an enormous cooling
effect on earth.
Climate scientists remain unsure of the
effect of
cloud formation on weather patterns, and this has given MIT's Richard Lindzen all the opening he needs:
It indicated that contrails — white lines of Vapor left by jet engines — also have big knock -
on effects by adding to the
formation of high - altitude, heat - trapping cirrus
clouds as the lines break up.
IF this is the case, then varying
cloud lifetimes (NOT
cloud formation rates) would significantly affect average
cloud fraction and thus have a significant
effect on climate.
Topics that I work
on or plan to work in the future include studies of: + missing aerosol species and sources, such as the primary oceanic aerosols and their importance
on the remote marine atmosphere, the in -
cloud and aerosol water aqueous
formation of organic aerosols that can lead to brown carbon
formation, the primary terrestrial biological particles, and the organic nitrogen + missing aerosol parameterizations, such as the
effect of aerosol mixing
on cloud condensation nuclei and aerosol absorption, the semi-volatility of primary organic aerosols, the importance of in - canopy processes
on natural terrestrial aerosol and aerosol precursor sources, and the mineral dust iron solubility and bioavailability + the change of aerosol burden and its spatiotemporal distribution, especially with regard to its role and importance
on gas - phase chemistry via photolysis rates changes and heterogeneous reactions in the atmosphere, as well as their
effect on key gas - phase species like ozone + the physical and optical properties of aerosols, which affect aerosol transport, lifetime, and light scattering and absorption, with the latter being very sensitive to the vertical distribution of absorbing aerosols + aerosol -
cloud interactions, which include
cloud activation, the aerosol indirect
effect and the impact of
clouds on aerosol removal + changes
on climate and feedbacks related with all these topics In order to understand the climate system as a whole, improve the aerosol representation in the GISS ModelE2 and contribute to future IPCC climate change assessments and CMIP activities, I am also interested in understanding the importance of natural and anthropogenic aerosol changes in the atmosphere
on the terrestrial biosphere, the ocean and climate.
thanks, not a chemical
