Other studies analyzing satellite data from the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP), the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR), and the Clouds and the Earth's Radiant Energy System (CERES) such as Chang and Coakley (2007) and Eitzen et al.

The dust clouds of the Galaxy are narrowly limited to the plane of the Milky Way, though very low - density dust can be detected even near the galactic poles.

This finding was unexpected, as most current theoretical calculations indicate that it should have been very difficult to form low - mass stars shortly after the Big Bang because heavier elements are needed to efficiently cool gas clouds as they contract into stars (more discussion on the expected mass of Population III stars from Bernard Carr, 1994 versus Richard B. Larson, 1999).

Very lucky to have excellent weather, blue skies and sunshine (unlike my Rail Discoveries trip in September 2016 when we had one fine day and low cloud and mist for the rest of the trip!).

But the effect of it being summer is very much lower than the variability due to, say, cloud cover.

In the Arctic, to take an important sub-case, it's very possible that heavy low - level cloud in June will cool, while the same cloud in early September will warm.

In general, models suggest that they are a positive feedback — i.e. there is a relative increase in high clouds (which warm more than they cool) compared to low clouds (which cool more than they warm)-- but this is quite variable among models and not very well constrained from data.

He notes that the sat photos show that cloud cover remains low and that the ice is very mobile at a time when the pack should be most firm (not really a surprise since ocean temps are much more important than air temps, and apparently it's the ocean temps that have been the largest factor in the recent sharp sea ice reduction).

Purely from one natural experiment, we drove up to a mountain site one very cold winter full moon evening and made camp in a layer of fog or low cloud — not very thick top to bottom but extensive side to side and very dense.

... Conclusions Since 1950, global average temperature anomalies have been driven firstly, from 1950 to 1987, by a sustained shift in ENSO conditions, by reductions in total cloud cover (1987 to late 1990s) and then a shift from low cloud to mid and high - level cloud, with both changes in cloud cover being very widespread.

The only other sound that broke the silence was the constant parade of jets in the clouds overhead flying very low throughout the entire storm.

In fact, to elaborate a bit more — at very low solar irradiance, water vapor and clouds will disappear almost completely from the atmosphere, and the greenhouse effect will be dominated almost entirely by CO2.

The towering clouds were so high that they punched through the troposphere (the lowest layer of the atmosphere where most weather occurs) and sent air loaded with ice crystals rushing into the stratosphere, a higher layer that normally contains very little moisture.

Our current understanding of the relationship between cloud properties and the GEC remains very 9 low, and there is no evidence yet that associated cloud processes could be of climatic significance.

Perhaps pre-war particulate emissions caused more cloud along the frequently travelled routes, which would have lowered the temperature — think of it as very low contrails.

(2) The UF6 gas at the inner axis is a very low pressure: a tiny fraction of an atmosphere (far lower than the pressure in the anvil cloud of thunderstorm).

He has published two papers stating that climate change is not serious: a 2001 paper hypothesizing that clouds would provide a negative feedback to cancel out global warming, and a 2009 paper claiming that climate sensitivity (the amount of warming caused by a doubling of carbon dioxide) was very low.

They merely trigger the condensation of water vapour (which saturates very easily in low pressure air) into cloud droplets which reflect back sunlight to space, rather than absorbing infrared as water vapour does.

So what actually happens is that there may be a small increase in the energy stored in the lower atmosphere, but, due to convection and clouds, there is a very significant increase in the heat released to space from the tops of those clouds.

But we know that the mechanisms responsible for the variation of Ts are different in internal variability on these time scales and in forced climate change, then my questions is that: is it possible that the spread in ECS might not be so directly caused by low - cloud feedback, although the low cloud feedback is a very good indictor for the model uncertainty?

So, CO2 - AGW is probably very low [overestimated by a factor of > = c. 3] and «cloud albedo effect» heating has probably been responsible for the warming, now stopped because the effect has has saturated.

Albedo should increase in response to very low solar conditions which should result in an increase in major volcanic activity, increase in global cloud coverage and sea ice / snow coverage.

The total cloud cover layer exhibits very similar patterns to low - level cloud cover.

A mostly sunny day with some very thin high clouds, and an occasional lower altitude cloud drifting in.

It is conceivable that the presence of wind turbines will very slightly increase the number of lightning strikes (because a slightly lower voltage build - up will be required to produce a strike over the slightly shorter distance from cloud to ground).

While we are hesitant to extrapolate from very short data series (always a dubious procedure) it is entirely plausible that reduction in low cloud over the period could conservatively be estimated to have increased heating at Earth's surface by 5 - 10 Wm - 2, an amount more than sufficient to account for all the estimated warming over the period.

Quite off the mark, surface temperatures are mostly average because there is still some ice reflecting sunlight, but sunlight is very intense due to low cloud extent and high sun elevations, and does not show immediately above the ice, but further up.

Clouds with low bases are most efficient in reducing the daytime maximum temperature and DTR mainly because they are very effective in reflecting the sunlight, while middle and high clouds have only moderate damping effects on DTR.

The Brient Alb and Zhai emergent constraints are very similar; they both involve the variation of low cloud SW reflection with SST.

Although the most advanced theoretical climate models still leave uncertainty, particularly about the sign and magnitudes of the effects, on GHG feedbacks, of some low - and high - clouds, a consensus began to develop that threats of resulting increases in global temperature — and the very large risks associated with their possible consequences — deserved substantial increase in attention.

I suspect that given the paucity of knowledge in relation to clouds and aerosols (not to mention cycles)... the original X factors for the equation ranged through values that at the lower end produced no scary warming scenarios for the future doubling (ie at or lower than 1.5 C) to those that were very scary at 3 - 4.5 C — or even 6 C if you add strong feedbacks from melting ice, permafrost and emissions of methane.

Also, I suspect that the very low GCR count, brought about by the waning solar minimum helped to encourage greater cloud cover, though this is more speculative.
