His current research is mainly focused on the application of efficient computational methods to
understand the structure and dynamics of hydrogen - bonded systems ranging from
water clusters to
atmospheric aerosols.
It is now widely recognized that improvements in
understanding and predicting climate hinge largely on a better
understanding of the processes controlling
atmospheric water vapor.»
For new technologies the ETA team often starts with a life - cycle energy,
water, or materials analysis to
understand the technology's impacts when scaled up, and then uses other models as needed, such as an
atmospheric chemistry model or energy system model.
«Trends in observed
atmospheric water vapour are hampered by inhomogeneities in data records, which occur when measurement programmes are discontinued because of, for example, the limited lifespans of satellite missions or insufficiently documented or
understood changes in instrumentation.
The future monitoring of
atmospheric processes involving
water vapor will be critical to fully
understand the feedbacks in the climate system leading to global climate change.
It's my
understanding that NVAP data shows as
atmospheric CO2 increases,
water vapor decreases; exactly opposite what climate models predict because they assume
water vapor is a net positive feedback; more wv, more warming, more wv, more warming.....
With your
water pot analogy, I don't
understand how heating from below the
water is equivalent to
atmospheric warming.
In that regard,
atmospheric and terrestrial processes and their long - term interactions need to be
understood to better support policies on
water management.
Motivated by findings that major components of so - called cloud «feedbacks» are best
understood as rapid responses to CO2 forcing (Gregory and Webb in J Clim 21:58 — 71, 2008), the top of atmosphere (TOA) radiative effects from forcing, and the subsequent responses to global surface temperature changes from all «
atmospheric feedbacks» (
water vapour, lapse rate, surface albedo, «surface temperature» and cloud) are examined in detail in a General Circulation Model.
Thus an
understanding of the mechanisms distributing
water vapor through the atmosphere and of
water vapor's effects on
atmospheric radiation and circulation is vital to estimating long - term changes in climate.
Based on the
understanding of both the physical processes that control key climate feedbacks (see Section 8.6.3), and also the origin of inter-model differences in the simulation of feedbacks (see Section 8.6.2), the following climate characteristics appear to be particularly important: (i) for the
water vapour and lapse rate feedbacks, the response of upper - tropospheric RH and lapse rate to interannual or decadal changes in climate; (ii) for cloud feedbacks, the response of boundary - layer clouds and anvil clouds to a change in surface or
atmospheric conditions and the change in cloud radiative properties associated with a change in extratropical synoptic weather systems; (iii) for snow albedo feedbacks, the relationship between surface air temperature and snow melt over northern land areas during spring and (iv) for sea ice feedbacks, the simulation of sea ice thickness.
CO; 2 Observations of the Infrared Radiative Properties of the Ocean «[I] t is necessary to
understand the physical variables contributing to sea surface emitted and reflected radiation to space.The emissivity of the ocean surface varies with view angle and sea state, the reflection of sky radiation also depends on view angle and sea state, and the absorption of
atmospheric constituents such as
water vapor, aerosols, and subdivisible clouds affect transmittance.»
Scientists measured properties of
water at deeply supercooled temperatures — which may help theorists flesh out their
understanding of
water and help
atmospheric scientists better
understand rain and clouds.
Similarly, UCSB researchers (results to be published in the journal Physical Review Letters) «filled the laboratory cylinders with
water, and heated the
water from below and cooled it from above,» to better
understand the dynamics of
atmospheric circulation and «swirling natural phenomena» observed in nature.
