Sentences with phrase «explain stratospheric cooling»

You say that CO2 explains the stratospheric cooling, but you want to invoke some mysterious, unknown mechanism for explaining the warming.

Not exact matches

First, stratospheric T 100 - 50 hPa has a global cooling trend for past 50 years (see Sterin thereafter for example), but how could we explain that if TSI has no change at all, particularly since 1980 (PMOD composite)?

I'm pretty sure you can get the grey version of that into a strat - cooling / trop - warming situation if you pick the strat absorbers right, but Andy is certainly right that non-grey effects play a crucial role in explaining quantitatively what is going on in the real atmosphere (that's connected with the non-grey explanation for the anomalously cold tropopause which I have in Chapter 4, and also with the reason that aerosols do not produce stratospheric cooling, and everything depends a lot on what level you are looking at).

It explains why we are seeing simultaneous stratospheric cooling along with tropospheric warming.

Nor did you explain how this research would account for the evidence in support of the CO2 - induced warming hypothesis, such as stratospheric cooling and mesospheric cooling [hint: it doesn't account for these].

The Met Office held a briefing for the press to explain that the reduction in warming might be natural variation, or could be accounted for by a mixture of a decrease in stratospheric water vapour and the cooling bias introduced by new methodology.

The nifty thing is that CO2's radiative properties explain the predicted and observed stratospheric cooling to boot.

(Some of the cooling is due also to the decrease in stratospheric ozone but the amount and altitude distribution of the cooling apparently can not be explained solely by this mechanism.)

Speaking of which, Cohen is coauthor of a study published online in BAMS on February 1 that finds a tendency toward a weaker stratospheric polar vortex — in turn explaining the bulk of midlatitude winter cooling observed across Eurasia since 1990.

You have not found anything and presumably have no ability to explain in your own words why stratospheric cooling ceased 15 years ago despite some moderate warming and increased CO2 levels.
