Sentences with phrase «general cooling effect»

Although previous research had seemed to indicate that aerosols could create a general cooling effect in the atmosphere — thus helping mitigate the effect of global warming — a new study has revealed that they may in fact warm it just as much as greenhouse gases.

Such clouds contain aerosols — tiny particles suspended in the air that are known to create a general cooling effect that could mitigate global warming.

Not exact matches

One way of looking at the relationship of estrogen and progesterone is that estrogen is the «heating hormone» causing tissue to grow, body fat to increase, bloating, irritability and progesterone is the «cooling hormone» causing tissue to differentiate and mature, emotional calmness, and in general balancing the effects of estrogen.

Before allowing the temperature to respond, we can consider the forcing at the tropopause (TRPP) and at TOA, both reductions in net upward fluxes (though at TOA, the net upward LW flux is simply the OLR); my point is that even without direct solar heating above the tropopause, the forcing at TOA can be less than the forcing at TRPP (as explained in detail for CO2 in my 348, but in general, it is possible to bring the net upward flux at TRPP toward zero but even with saturation at TOA, the nonzero skin temperature requires some nonzero net upward flux to remain — now it just depends on what the net fluxes were before we made the changes, and whether the proportionality of forcings at TRPP and TOA is similar if the effect has not approached saturation at TRPP); the forcing at TRPP is the forcing on the surface + troposphere, which they must warm up to balance, while the forcing difference between TOA and TRPP is the forcing on the stratosphere; if the forcing at TRPP is larger than at TOA, the stratosphere must cool, reducing outward fluxes from the stratosphere by the same total amount as the difference in forcings between TRPP and TOA.

If the cooling effect were general and regional, I would expect that the melt - rate would decrease with decreasing AMOC.

I would probably generally state it as «human CO2 activity has a measurable warming impact on global average temperature that can be readily discerned from the background of natural climate change and other human effects that may cause cooling, and this warming impact will be, in general, neutral in impact for humanity and the biosphere».

Short - term effects and external factors make it possible to have «cooler» periods in regions even as the general trend of warming continues.

From that I don't know what relative effects happen in the nighttime set, but it seems to me that it would be most extreme then, because as anyone familiar with high country will confirm, not only are temperatures cooler in general, but there is a larger daily variation at higher altitudes.

Favourite plays include hyper - focus on one, extremely speculative study (T&S 09); misrepresenting the potential for abrupt cooling in the C21st, dismissing the dominance of the centennial forced trend, misrepresenting deglacial abrupt climate change; grossly over-stating the accuracy and utility of pre-CERES TOA reconstructions (especially the synthetic, non-observational ISCCP - FD reconstruction); hyper - focus on interannual OHC variability; confusion of cause and effect with long - term trends in OHC (CO2 forcing denial) and general inability to see that natural variability from now on will be riding up a forced trend which will increasingly dominate climate behaviour.

It turns out the emission effect slightly dominates leading to general cooling, which averages up to 2 degrees per day in the whole troposphere.

In general, high clouds cool the climate during the day, by reflecting the Sun's light, but warm it during the day and night by trapping heat lost from the Earth's surface — the net effect is one of warming.

This is the dominant effect with plane travel in general since planes fly at about the tropopause for maximum engine cooling.

The overall effect would be a loss of (in particular) Arctic ice but a general cooling of the surrounding Arctic region.

The latter is a general statement about observed temperature record, which includes the effects of all sources of warming and cooling.
