If
sunlight must penetrate the dust covering a comet's water ice
in order to
warm it and produce jets, Sunshine says the Deep Impact findings suggest the ices on such dormant comets may not have run out but merely become sealed — by layers of debris, for example.
«
In the past, astronomers thought that comets die when they are
warmed by
sunlight, causing their ices to simply vaporize away,» Jewitt said.
The intended result: A permanent, low - hanging cloud cover that would deflect
sunlight and,
in theory, reverse global
warming.
Physicist David Keith, who has been working on technologies to block
sunlight to slow global
warming, argues that such efforts need to remain
in the public domain
And because clouds reflect
sunlight, cloud dissipation causes more
sunlight to transfer to the ground and seas, ultimately resulting
in warmer ground and air temperatures.
Many lakes have been
warming with a changing climate, and clearer water caused by invasive zebra mussels provides more
sunlight for algae to grow
in thicker mats.
Dust devils arise
in the martian spring and summer when
sunlight heats the ground, forcing
warm cells of air to rise.
In the future, if our planet has fewer of them, more
sunlight will penetrate through to the earth's surface, which could potentially enhance
warming.

Though there were no temperature sensors on the leg, he says the surface of the ice patch was
warmed by direct
sunlight, whereas the lander leg was
in shadow.
Sunlight warms Ceres most when the asteroid comes closest, which was around the time Herschel detected the water vapor (shown with exaggerated clarity
in this artist's conception).
The primary culprit seems to be the black carbon
in soot, which soaks up any
sunlight it can, thereby
warming whatever it touches.
After a painstaking analysis that modeled all known sources of acceleration for Juno, including the minute contributions from
sunlight warming the spacecraft, Iess's team found a large north - south asymmetry
in Jupiter's gravitational field — a clear sign of material flowing beneath the cloud tops on deep atmospheric winds.
Sunlight piped from the roof blends with fluorescent light
in the fixture down below, offering a
warm glow that looks much more natural than the harshness of conventional fluorescents.
Their findings: natural influences such as changes
in the amount of
sunlight or volcanic eruptions did not explain the
warming trends, but the results matched when increasing levels of greenhouse gas emissions were added to the mix.
The dark layer of cryoconite and the creatures
in the hole absorb
sunlight,
warming the walls around them and melting a wider hole.
Even if the 1.5 hours of
sunlight is not enough to recharge Philae's batteries
warm, the mission could,
in theory, come out of hibernation later on with seasonal improvements
in sunlight.
While drifting
in the atmosphere or after settling on the ground, soot efficiently absorbs
sunlight,
warms up, and radiates heat.
A possible cause for the accelerated Arctic
warming is the melting of the region's sea ice, which reduces the icy, bright area that can reflect
sunlight back out into space, resulting
in more solar radiation being absorbed by the dark Arctic waters.
When snow melts
in response to
warming, more
sunlight can be absorbed at Earth's surface because most surfaces have a lower reflectivity than snow.
Funded by the U.K. government, SPICE was set up
in 2010 by British research institutions to investigate whether aerosols, such as sulfate particles, could be injected into Earth's stratosphere to scatter
sunlight back into space, thereby stalling global
warming.
Budgetmakers
in the U.S. Senate want the Department of Energy (DOE) to study the possibility of making Earth reflect more
sunlight into space to fight global
warming.
The particles linger
in the air, where they absorb
sunlight and contribute to
warming the atmosphere; they may also affect cloud formation and precipitation.
[Dirk Zeuss et al, Global
warming favours light - coloured insects
in Europe] Lighter colors reflect
sunlight while dark colors absorb it and heat up.
Indeed, conventional wisdom held that higher levels of aerosol pollution
in the atmosphere should cool the earth's climate because aerosols can increase cloudiness; they not only reduce precipitation, which raises the water content
in clouds, but they also increase the size of the individual water droplets, which
in turn causes more
warming sunlight to be reflected back into space.
Calling for carbon budgets She said that climate change could intensify the
sunlight process, if lakes and coastal waters become ice - free earlier
in the season with ongoing
warming.
«There is more, and intense,
sunlight in May through June compared to later
in the summer
in the Arctic...
warmer weather could cause the lakes to be ice - free sooner, causing more CO2 to be released,» she said.
Co-researcher Retha Edens - Meier, Ph.D., a professor and research scientist
in SLU's School of Education, using thermocouples, and a hypodermic tissue probe, learned that these dark petals are up to 3 degrees Celsius (5.4 degrees Fahrenheit)
warmer than the surrounding atmosphere when they stand
in a pool of Spring
sunlight.
Perhaps the most famous is Darwin's «
warm little pond» — a soup of organic chemicals bathed
in sunlight.
A: Global
warming occurs when carbon dioxide (CO2) and other air pollutants and greenhouse gases collect
in the atmosphere and absorb
sunlight and solar radiation that have bounced off the earth's surface.
The sulphur
in the lower atmosphere below 15kms is reflecting
sunlight back into space but the black soot also a component
in the ABC's is heating when bombarded with solar radiation and
warming the atmosphere up to 15kms dramatically affecting cloud formation and monsoon / drought cycles.
Various aerosols also rise up
in the atmosphere, but their net effect on global
warming or cooling is still uncertain, as some aerosols reflect
sunlight away from Earth, and others,
in contrast, trap warmth
in the atmosphere.
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.
Since individual clouds have a life time of hours, and the CRF - interpretation involves changes
in the reflected light as well as ionisation, a climatic response from change
in CRF is hypothetically almost instantaneous, and it is a challenge to explain why the night side (where there is no
sunlight and hence reflection can not play a role)
warms more strongly than the dayside, if the CRF were to drive the recent
warming trend.
Anyone who accepts that
sunlight falling on ice free waters which has less reflectivity than
sunlight falling on a large ice mass covering those waters and also accepts that this reduction
in albedo has a positive feedback effect, leading to further
warming, can't help but opt for A or B, it seems to me.
The interesting part is that more clouds
in summer as well as less clouds
in winter both act as negative feedbacks: less
warming in summer with more clouds reflecting the
sunlight and more cooling
in winter from less clouds allowing more heat to escape to space.
Clearly, there are many positive forcings (
warming influences) and negative forcings (cooling influences)-- the total includes methane, N2O, black carbon, small changes
in sunlight, aerosols, etc..
