An example of a feedback loop is when melting ice turns to water,
absorbs more sunlight because water is darker than ice, heats up, and causes more melting.
This temperature contrast makes for more high intensity storms, which leads to more atmospheric dust and sea salts, which
reflects more sunlight back into space and cools the earth further.
While reducing cloud cover does indeed let more infrared energy out, it also lets
more sunlight in.
Other solutions cited in the study include white roofs that reflect
more sunlight back to space or hybrid roofs that combine aspects of white and green, or planted, roofs.
The interfaces between the two different phases within the composite film play a crucial role in converting
more sunlight into electricity.
It a decrease in cloud —
more sunlight reaches the surface and warms the planet — to around 2000 followed by an abrupt increase and little change since.
Since the equator
receives more sunlight than the poles, climate varies depending on the distance from the equator.
What I mean is that a reduced optical depth due to H2O feedback logically would stop
more sunlight from reaching the surface as well, or?
I hope this post finds you enjoying some extra daylight and hopefully a
little more sunlight as well.
This could reduce the ocean temperature locally
because more sunlight would be reflected back into space.
A simple potassium solution could boost the efficiency of next - generation solar cells, by enabling them to
convert more sunlight into electricity.
If you'd like your spirited Italian sports car with a
bit more sunlight, prepare to pay extra.
I was initially upset that four mature trees need to go, but they're dying and removing them should give our yard a
lot more sunlight in the afternoon.
As the days get longer and we
enjoy more sunlight, we'll (hopefully) get to observe these beautiful phenomena with our kids.
I decided to try the products on the left side of my face, which had visibly aged faster than the right side perhaps because it has been exposed to
more sunlight while driving.
Global warming has a larger affect in polar areas, as the loss of snow and ice leads to more open water, which
absorbs more sunlight and warmth.
By
reflecting more sunlight, cool roofs reduce heat flow into the building, which lowers energy consumption and power - plant emissions if the building is air - conditioned.
The displacement off the pole also pushes the colder air into latitudes
with more sunlight, enhancing ozone depletion in the short term.
You now have
MORE sunlight into your windows, your walls, your building every hour of every summer day!
Instead they considered one idea: «spreading very small reflective particles» over about five million square miles of ocean, so as to bounce about 1
percent more sunlight back to space — «a wacky geoengineering solution,» Keith says, «that doesn't even work.»
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.
Now that we have so
much more sunlight in this house, I'm trying to grow more things inside, especially succulents.
Simply put, your senses
need more sunlight, and you would benefit from seeing the turquoise waters and gorgeous flowers of Virgin Gorda.
Some installers have tried different installation approaches to alleviate the shading issue while also
capturing more sunlight early and late in the day compared to south - facing arrangements.
White roofs are more reflective than green roofs, reflecting roughly three
times more sunlight back into the atmosphere and therefore absorbing less sunlight at earth's surface.
One of the device's key elements is an optical concentrator — a lens - type component that increases the cell's efficiency by
directing more sunlight to it than would happen naturally (a boost that contributed in great measure to its record - setting performance).
If the climate sensitivity is low, for example due to increasing low - lying cloud cover reflecting
more sunlight as a response to global warming, then how can these large past climate changes be explained?
The earth absorbs
more sunlight during the southern hemisphere summer when the darker (all that ocean) southern hemisphere is pointed more towards the sun This seasonal cycle may be large enough to overwhwlm the warming from CO2 etc for a year or so, thus on a seasonal scale the rise may not be monotonic.
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.
