When Charon is positioned between the Sun and Pluto, Georgia Tech research indicates that the moon can significantly reduce atmospheric loss (Credit: NASA / JHUAPL / SwRI)

Not exact matches

Much of the radiation from the atmospheric gases, also in the infrared range, is transmitted back to the ocean, reducing the net long wave radiation heat loss of the ocean.

A steady state would eventually be reached wherein CO2 loss balanced CO2 uptake, because any tendency of plants to absorb more CO2 would reduce atmospheric concentrations so as to reduce plant growth.

Thus a change of water vapour, sky radiation and tempcrature is corrected by a change of cloudiness and atmospheric circulation, the former increasing the reflection loss and thus reducing the effective sun heat.

Sea ice loss in the NH will remain a problem until the AMO and NH atmospheric temperatures in particular reduce back to blue.

Ozone loss in the stratosphere and the consequent increase in penetration of UV into the upper troposphere tends to reduce the differential between the atmospheric pressure in the stationary high pressure cell East of Chile and the low over Indonesia tending to move the atmosphere towards a constant El Nino orientation.

A higher atmospheric temperature reduces net IR losses and energy accumulates until losses are again balanced with evaporation, conduction, increased IR up or all three.

One of the mechanisms discussed at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (that I linked to) was to do with ice loss in the Arctic influencing atmospheric and ocean coupling and reducing thermohaline circulation.

The reduction from three to two orbit planes for atmospheric moisture and temperature profiling represents a loss in diurnal sampling (from 4 - to 6 - hour refresh) compared to the pre-Nunn-McCurdy NPOESS baseline, which will reduce the quality of diurnally averaged climate analyses.
