The (apparent) slower rate of projected model warming for a higher absolute temperature may be related to other factors like cloud amount and geographical distribution at higher absolute humidity, or increases in convective transport (due to more atmospheric instability) at higher absolute humidity.

Taking into account the obscuring effects of high cloud, it was found that thick low clouds decreased by more than 20 % in the eastern tropical Pacific... In contrast, most increase in low cloud amount due to doubled CO2 simulated by the NCAR and GFDL models occurs in the subtropical subsidence regimes associated with a strong atmospheric stability.»

(Note that radiative forcing is not necessarily proportional to reduction in atmospheric transparency, because relatively opaque layers in the lower warmer troposphere (water vapor, and for the fractional area they occupy, low level clouds) can reduce atmospheric transparency a lot on their own while only reducing the net upward LW flux above them by a small amount; colder, higher - level clouds will have a bigger effect on the net upward LW flux above them (per fraction of areal coverage), though they will have a smaller effect on the net upward LW flux below them.

The current flow in the atmosphere changes the amount of low level cloud in the high latitude regions and changes the optical properties and lifetime of clouds in the equatorial region (is the primary reason for El Niño events).

At the moment, Lindzen is pursuing a theory that says increased amounts of water vapor — from warming surface temperatures — will reduce heat - trapping high - cirrus clouds, which will help balance the planet's temperature.

It does magnify the night - time greenhouse effect by warming the clouds or the higher levels of the atmosphere, thus increasing the amount of heat radiated back to the surface; though the overall effect is to reduce net planetary greenhouse warming by limiting the temperature gradient.

In big thunderstorms, and especially in big hurricanes, this upper skin of clouds, releasing vast amounts of latent energy, is way, way up there, twice as high as Mount Everest.

When solar activity is high and (under the GCR - cloud theory) cloud cover is low, a high amount of solar radiation reaches the oceans unblocked by clouds, where it penetrates and warms the upper ocean layer.

Note that cloud amounts were higher than at present in the early 80s following the effects of less active solar cycle 20.

Another approach involves thinning of high cirrus clouds, which are involved in regulating the amount of heat that escapes from the planet to outer space.

on the other hand, CO2 intercepts small amount of sunlight high up, where cooling is much more efficient — as a result small amount LESS of the sunlight comes to the ground = same as the H2O cloud effect - > brings day / night's temp closer = less extreme.

Vaughan, «In doing so it raises the temperature at higher altitudes by an amount equivalent to adding 80 W / m2 (averaged over the Earth's surface) to the thermal energy of clouds.

These studies show that the decrease in low - cloud amount with surface warming overcompensates the low - cloud increase by inversion strengthening seen in a warmer climate, and more realistic models tend to exhibit larger low - cloud feedback and higher ECS (see this blog post for a more thorough discussion).

Merging realistic estimates of low - cloud amount, high - cloud amount, and extratropical optical depth feedbacks would likely increase our confidence in constraints on climate sensitivity from climate models.

In reality (based on observations), warming of the lower atmosphere pulls water vapor away from those higher cloud - forming levels of the atmosphere, and the amount of cloud formation there actually decreases.

Some recent studies suggest a decreasing high - cloud amount due to more efficient large - scale organization with warming (Bony et.

The Nature study suggests that global warming will mix growing amounts of higher, drier air with ocean clouds over the course of the century, thinning out the clouds and reducing their cooling effect.

One involves deflecting a small amount of the sun's light and heat away from the planet to lower global temperatures; this could include the use of reflective aerosols or mirrors high in the atmosphere, or may require the deliberate formation of clouds.

High - level cloud cover exhibited the least amount of valid correlation tests of any cloud cover altitude.

The results were striking: across the intercomparison the cloud fraction was found to vary by a factor of almost five and the amount of liquid water in the clouds by nearly a factor of twelve, with the simulations having the highest cloud fraction and liquid water agreeing most closely with the observations.

Areas with the most greenhouse gases (tropics) have maximum temperatures that are no where near as high as some desert areas with the lowest amount of GHEs (yeah, yeah, it's the water evaporation and clouds; but that is precisely the point on Earth).

But, the amount of energy deposited is also low, as clouds have a high albedo, reflecting some fraction of the energy back to space and absorbing another fraction, which heats the air above the surface.
