The rather large ERF arises mainly from changes in cloudiness, especially in Europe.

Not exact matches

I would therefore argue that for the global mean the well - mixed GHGs and the counterbalancing reflecitve aerosol effects are «first - order» — without GHGs there is no appreciable warming signal, and without the aerosols, the warming from GHGs is excessive and important changes in the diurnal cycle and cloudiness are not captured.

The most natural type of long term variability is in my view based on slowly varying changes in ocean circulation, which doesn't necessarily involve major transfer of heat from one place to another but influences cloudiness and other large scale weather patterns and through that the net energy flux of the Earth system.

The changes in both satellite derived and measured surface insolation data are also in line with changes in global cloudiness provided by the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP), which show an increase until the late 1980s and a decrease thereafter, on the order of 5 % from the late 1980s to 2002.

From 1988 to 1998 there would have been a complex interaction between the ENSO cycle and the amount of sunshine entering the oceans from changes in global cloudinFrom 1988 to 1998 there would have been a complex interaction between the ENSO cycle and the amount of sunshine entering the oceans from changes in global cloudinfrom changes in global cloudiness.

Changes in the land surface (vegetation, soils, water) resulting from human activities can affect regional climate through shifts in radiation, cloudiness and surface temperature.

This is in contrast with results from high - resolution models, which suggest that cloudiness near cloud - base is nearly invariant with warming and independent of large - scale environmental changes.
