Aerosols can also have big effects on clouds, for instance making them brighter so that they reflect more sunlight back into space.

The new study revealed that these particles, whose effects on clouds have been mostly neglected until now, can invigorate clouds in a much more powerful way than their larger counterparts.

He calculates that to achieve the desired effect on cloud reflectivity would require treating them with «a cupful» of salt per km2 per hour.

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.

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.

Their relatively good spectral resolution makes infrared sounders very useful for the determination of cloud properties (day and night), and their coarse spatial resolution has less effect on clouds with large spatial extents like cirrus clouds.

Namely, they could not conclude whether cloud variations were mainly due to an ENSO effect on clouds or the CRF.

While mid latitude aurora can be a function of increased solar output, the Earth's magnetosphere could be affected by planetary influence in isolation that could have downstream effects on cloud cover.

Quantitative estimates of sulphate aerosol indirect effects on cloud properties and hence RF were sufficiently well established to be included in assessments, and carbonaceous aerosols from biomass burning were recognised as being comparable in importance to sulphate (Penner et al., 1992).

Clouds are not a forcing of the climate system (except for the small portion related to human related aerosol effects, which have a small effect on clouds).

Solar irradiance change has a strong spectral dependence [Lean, 2000], and resulting climate changes may include indirect effects of induced ozone change [RFCR; Haigh, 1999; Shindell et al., 1999a] and conceivably even cosmic ray effects on clouds [Dickinson, 1975].

However, I am not optimistic — the specifics of the small scale physics (aerosol indirect effects on clouds, sea ice formation, soil hydrology etc.) are so heterogeneous that I don't see how you can do without calculating the details.

The indirect aerosol effect on clouds is non-linear [1], [76] such that it has been suggested that even the modest aerosol amounts added by pre-industrial humans to an otherwise pristine atmosphere may have caused a significant climate forcing [59].

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