Sentences with phrase «related albedo changes»

The black line, reconstructed from ISCCP satellite data, «is a purely statistical parameter that has little physical meaning as it does not account for the non-linear relations between cloud and surface properties and planetary albedo and does not include aerosol related albedo changes such as associated with Mt. Pinatubo, or human emissions of sulfates for instance» (Real Climate).

Not exact matches

Both are related to feedback mechanisms which can amplify or dampen initial changes, such as the connection between temperature and the albedo associated with sea - ice and snow.

Most of it temperature related which was driven by change in albedo due to Earth dynamics — some 25W / m2 less reflected shortwave.

But again such global averages are of little value: regional observations should be related to the regional cloud coverage and albedo and possibly to changes of the strength of surface currents.

Solar radiative forcing is a direct energy source to the Earth and is related to the change in TSI by ΔF = ΔTSI · (1 − A) / 4, where A is the Earth's albedo.

Is it a change in albedo, perhaps related to ice extent?

Hall and Qu (2006) show that biases of a number of MMD models in reproducing the observed seasonal cycle of land snow cover (especially the spring melt) are tightly related to the large variations in snow albedo feedback strength simulated by the same models in climate change scenarios.

What was learned is that climate change is related to albedo, as a result of the change in the amount of energy from the sun that is absorbed by the Earth.

It is logical to presume that changes in Earth's albedo are due to increases and decreases in low cloud cover, which in turn is related to the climate change that we have observed during the 20th Century, including the present global cooling.

You have lots of physical impacts related to permafrost, albedo, ice area covered, etc and those changes project onto ecology, politics, socio - economics, etc..
