But recently, an interesting new theory on cloud formation has emerged.

«Huge amounts of aerosols from Asia go as high as six miles up in the atmosphere and these have an unmistakable impact on cloud formations and weather.»

New modelling methods provide more precise information than ever on the effect of landforms on cloud formation

The danish astrophysician Henrik Svensmark has an article in the norwegian newspaper» Klassekampen» about his research concerning the influence of cosmic particles on cloud formation.

Unlike the troposphere, temperature in the stratosphere increases with height — similar to warm air aloft in the troposphere putting a cap on cloud formation.

In December 2010 he explained how solar cycles control the climate by influence on cloud formation (the cosmic ray theory of Svensmark et al.) and via influence on ocean oscillations and length of day.

Svensmark's explanation for the polar see - saw is GCR effects on cloud formation.

Also facing elimination are the Orbiting Carbon Observatory 3, which would observe carbon dioxide flows; a mission to the space station that would have supported tests of a spectrometer intended to measure solar reflection; and Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem, a satellite that would measure the colors of the ocean to gauge the global flow of algae and the influence of ocean aerosols on cloud formation.

New modelling methods provide more precise information than ever on the effect of landforms on cloud formation

Like Svensmarks theory on cloud formations.

But just as the noise from other bar patrons can still drown out a conversation even if the music is muted, researchers are unable to control for other things that affect reflectivity, such as widespread snowfall, or the effect an El Niño year might have on cloud formation.

«Successful calculation of human and natural influence on cloud formation: CLOUD data are fed into a global aerosol model to calculate climate effects..»

Since this would also result in more particulate matter entering the atmosphere which in turn has an influence on cloud formation, regional and global climate models might have to be adapted accordingly.

The paper he wrote together with Friis - Christensen in which he found a correlation between solar activity and clouds had a «slight» flaw: it ignored that the period of the study coincided with a big El Nino, and that large scale changes in ocean surface temperature are going to have an effect on cloud formation.

He also notes that while the total solar irradiance (TSI) only varies by about.1 % over a solar cycle, the solar UV varies by about 10 % and that secondary effects on cloud formation may vary up to 30 % over solar cycles.

In summary the findings to date indicate that the effect of cosmic rays on cloud formation is small compared to the large variations in natural biogenic aerosol emissions.

Put the two peases together: passing the invariable plane cause an clear effect on clouds, and shifting the inclination in and out of the invariable plane might then also be expected to have an impact on cloud formation.

Chamber research is focused on understanding the lifecycle of organic aerosols, including their formation, growth, aging (oxidation), re-volatilization, and effect on cloud formation.

«A leading candidate to explain the link between relatively feeble solar fluctuation and climate is the effect of solar (magnetic) modulated galactic cosmic rays (GCR) on cloud formation (Editors of science, 2002).

Bast's organization, which is sponsoring its Tenth International Conference on Climate Change in Washington, D.C. this June, gave its 2014 Courage in Defense of Science Award to Soon last year for challenging «computer modelers and advocates who consistently underestimate solar influences on cloud formation, ocean currents, and wind that cause climate to change.»
