Sentences with phrase «induced albedo changes»

But, pertaining to whatever your argument may be, what do natural cycles have to do with anthropogenic forcing and increased radiative forcing or human induced albedo changes or the like?

Not exact matches

What difference between energy absorption and radiation do we need to induce in order to make the air temperature increase by 1 degree C, assuming no change in albedo?

Also interesting that they don't understand that water vapour feedback, no matter what it's magnitude, applies equally to anything that causes a change in radiative forcing for the planet — more GH gases, Albedo change, any GCR induced changes in clouds.

However, if the non-radiative impacts from land use changes create warming that offsets the albedo - induced cooling, then observational studies would be more accurate than Marvel's model, at least insofar as land use impacts are concerned.

The reason why I think it's wrong is that in her calculation of ESS she takes the radiative forcing caused by albedo changes (resulting from the massive change in ice coverage between a glacial and interglacial state) and assumes it to be a feedback on the CO2 induced temperature - change.

1) In reality both the changes in albedo (reflectivity) and CO2 concentration are feedbacks on the orbital forcing, and the relation in the one direction (a change in earth's orbit causing a temperature change which in turn causes albedo and CO2 levels to change) is not necessarily the same as the relation in the reverse direction, as is currently happening with human - induced increases in CO2.

Temperature changes induced by sun and oceans drive air circulation changes which drive changes in every aspect of climate including convection, conduction, evaporation, condensation, precipitation, windiness, cloudiness, albedo and humidity as regards both quantities and distribution.

Once started, that is a self fulfilling, rapid transition, even without any further help of CO2, until the change in ice / vegetation area is too small to induce more albedo / temperature change.

Reductions in albedo due to decreasing sea ice induced by wind changes were attributed as the cause of this early warming.

[23] Chapter 8 of AR5, referring to a seven model study, states that» There is no agreement on the sign of the temperature change induced by anthropogenic land - use change» and concludes that a net cooling of the surface — accounting for processes that are not limited to the albedo — is about as likely as not».
