Sentences with phrase «influence albedo»

as we can we may be able to influence albedo on an ocean scale — and hopefully create a little bit of global cooling.

Clouds and other factors, like aerosols and black carbon, also influence the albedo of Earth.

Not exact matches

As more vegetation was removed by the introduction of livestock, it increased the albedo (the amount of sunlight that reflects off the earth's surface) of the land, which in turn influenced atmospheric conditions sufficiently to reduce monsoon rainfall.

[Response: Albedo is of course taken into account in any detailed calculation of the influence of climate on individual glaciers.

Since it reflects the capacity of the climate system to absorb heat, it may be influenced by the planetary albedo (sea - ice and snow) and ice - caps, which respond to temperature changes.

All of this is reason for everyone and his brother, aunt and sister to greatly reduce their own GHG emissions, and to scream bloody murder till every corporation, institution and governmental body they have any influence over to immediately institute policies to rapidly bring down GHG emissions and look at reliable ways of drawing down atmospheric CO2 levels directly (especially replanting grasslands in the north, tree planting toward the equator where albedo change is not an issue).

When reconstructing Earth's climate history, it can't be explained without including all the various influences, including solar irradiance, volcanism, albedo, orbital variations, continental drift, mountain building, variations in sea currents, changes in greenhouse gases, even cometary impacts.

«The Influence of Pollution on the Shortwave Albedo of Clouds.»

The albedo influence is much stronger than CO2 forcing.

The sum of the two effects (albedo and heat loss) I believe is greater than the GHG forcing influence mostly due to CO2, but is going to have a similar trend.

An international team of researchers report in Nature Communications that they made a computer model of the planet's atmospheric conditions: they included natural and human - triggered aerosols, volatile organic compounds, greenhouse gases and other factors that influence temperature, one of which is albedo: the scientist's word for the capacity of terrain to absorb or reflect solar radiation.

A true «prediction» can't be made because the result will depend on the future volcanic eruptions and other influences on albedo, but you can run the model for each of a couple dozen stochastic processes for the future volcanic activity.

Non-climate drivers such as urbanisation and pollution can influence systems directly and indirectly through their effects on climate variables such as albedo and soil - moisture regimes.

Taking the period shown on the graph no warming is detected overall when the influence of cloud albedo is removed.

This has a huge influence on the Svalbard temperatures — far more than a tiny effect from the increased albedo at the airport.

Ice significantly reduces the heat flux between ocean and atmosphere; through its high albedo it has a strong influence on the radiation budget of the entire Arctic.

Land use influences the climate system in many different ways including direct emissions from land - use change, hydrological impacts, biogeophysical impacts (such as changes in albedo and surface roughness), and the size of the remaining vegetation stock (influencing CO2 removal from the atmosphere).

Additional peer reviewed studies support stronger solar influences on albedo and cloud formation then previously projected, further supporting lower sensitivity.

He takes climate change to be the norm of things and he accepts that humans are influencing climate through many factors and not just through emissions (e.g. how we change the albedo, the reflectivity, of the Earth's surface).

Moreover, epoch superposition analysis of Forbush decreases reveals no detectable albedo response to cosmic ray decreases, thereby placing an upper limit on the possible influence of cosmic ray variations on global albedo of 0.0029 per 5 % decrease.

The key question is to what extent atmospheric warming / ice albedo feedback is influencing the recent sea ice decline relative to the natural variability.

It depends what sort of timescales the oceans and albedo vary on, and what influences them to vary.

The influence of spring temperature is particularly pronounced in years that experience low snow pack accumulations, indicating the potential importance of the albedo feedback [3] for the melting of shallow snow.

«climate scientists have long taken into account many other factors that can influence the climate, and which can change, such as ocean - atmopshere oscillations, the albedo of advancing and retreating glaciers, changing levels of incoming radiation»

Arctic climate change is strongly influenced by the surface albedo feedback, which acts to

This form of ice - ocean albedo feedback proves to be a major influence on both seasonal and interannual variations in sea ice.

In contrast, the purpose of albedo modification technologies is to introduce a new form of human influence on the climate system by altering the amount of sunlight absorbed by the Earth.

The annual average is about 0.25 of the peak — but you expect as well that the reflected SW would not vary as much as you suggest albedo of oceans being influenced by «solar zenith angle, wind speed, transmission by atmospheric cloud / aerosol, and ocean chlorophyll concentration.»

Regulating services include air quality, atmosphere composition and climate regulation (Hassan et al., 2005), especially through wind - blown dust and desert albedo influences on regional rainfall, and biogeochemistry of remote terrestrial and marine ecosystems (Warner, 2004).

In the paper I argue that the record of this kind of aurora can be considered a proxy for the electric properties of the atmosphere which then influence the cloud cover and the albedo and, consequently, causes similar cycles in the surface temperature.

Atmospheric aerosols exert an important influence on climate1 through their effects on stratiform cloud albedo and lifetime2 and the invigoration of convective storms3.

Earthshine may have an overweight from equatorial albedo changes and may have less influence from albedo changes at higher latitudes (e.g. reflection from cloud - free ocean parts).

Part of the changes in the spatial correlations is expected to be due to convection and clouds, which too play a role for the GHG, in addition to influencing the planetary albedo.

In addition to CO2 emissions, other greenhouse gas emissions, albedo, and latent heat fluxes influence regional and global climate (Diffenbaugh 2009; Georgescu et al. 2009).

The all - sky incoming SW available energy is heavily dependent on the average cloud cover (albedo), and is an input parameter of the system, not influencing the IR absorptive property.
