Another is that an increase
in Arctic
cloud cover — a plausible outcome of global warming, which promotes evaporation from the
oceans — could deprive algae of the sunlight they need to thrive.
NASA's Plankton, Aerosol,
Cloud,
Ocean Ecosystem satellite mission, still
in planning stages, operates with a framework that could serve as an example for science support of future missions.
Our general circulation model simulations, which take into account the recently observed widespread occurrence of vertically extended atmospheric brown
clouds over the Indian
Ocean and Asia3, suggest that atmospheric brown
clouds contribute as much as the recent increase
in anthropogenic greenhouse gases to regional lower atmospheric warming trends.
«Southern
Ocean clouds play a large role
in the global climate, and hopefully this will help us get a better sense of how sensitive the Earth is to greenhouse gases,» said Burrows.
People started off with basic radiation physics, added
in the dynamic equations and then
clouds, and then better land surface schemes and
oceans and sea ice etc..
«Global mean time series of surface - and satellite - observed low - level and total
cloud cover exhibit very large discrepancies, however, implying that artifacts exist
in one or both data sets... The surface - observed low - level
cloud cover time series averaged over the global
ocean appears suspicious because it reports a very large 5 % - sky - cover increase between 1952 and 1997.
