Previous observations of the brown dwarf, published in 2014, provided tentative indications of water clouds based on very limited photometric data.

Not exact matches

The conclusion that limiting CO2 below 450 ppm will prevent warming beyond two degrees C is based on a conservative definition of climate sensitivity that considers only the so - called fast feedbacks in the climate system, such as changes in clouds, water vapor and melting sea ice.

The theory of dangerous climate change is based not just on carbon dioxide warming but on positive and negative feedback effects from water vapor and phenomena such as clouds and airborne aerosols from coal burning.

Given what scientists know about the Red Planet's atmosphere, these clouds likely consist of either carbon dioxide or water - based ice crystals.

The clouds themselves are likely not made of water, as the planets in this sample are too hot for water - based clouds.

This produced a bulge of water several meters (feet) high beneath the base of the storm clouds.

Based on the available data, the astronomers concluded that the planet's atmosphere is either a thin but dense layer rich in water steam or a thick layer of high clouds or hazes, similar to those seen in the atmospheres of Venus and Titan in the Solar System.

Both the arcade and the Master System versions have an abundance of jungle, cave, and water levels, but the Master System adds a desert, a waterfall, and cloud - based environments.

A larger mystery than either missing carbon or the influence of clouds / water vapor on climate change models is why the physical and life science community and the (in theory) science - based climate change advocates have not taken the time to adequately consult the evidence or experts (albeit exceptions certainly do exist) on communication about environmental issues, risk, or environmental and health literacy.

Charney sensitivity refers to the climate sensitivity when fast - reacting feedbacks (Planck response is a given — also, water vapor, clouds,... I think sea ice, seasonal snow) occur but with other things (land - based ice sheets,... vegetation -LRB-?)-RRB-

Thus, the positive λSW of the CMIP5 ensemble average and the resulting energy accumulation by enhanced ASR under GHG forcing can be expected based only on the robust physics of the water vapor feedback and the surface albedo feedback in the absence of any changes in clouds... ``

To me, the proper «prior» for climate sensitivity analysis is the base CO2 - doubling sensitivity — ~ 1.2 C. Water vapor enhancement isn't proven because additional WV can both increase (GH effect) and decrease (reflective clouds and increased convection rate) the sensitivity.

Different substances absorb different frequencies of IR, and the different parts of the planet differ wildly in how much IR is being emitted (based as it is on surface temperature) and how much cloud and water vapor there is at that location (carbon dioxide is very well mixed).

Based on evidence from Earth's history, we suggest here that the relevant form of climate sensitivity in the Anthropocene (e.g. from which to base future greenhouse gas (GHG) stabilization targets) is the Earth system sensitivity including fast feedbacks from changes in water vapour, natural aerosols, clouds and sea ice, slower surface albedo feedbacks from changes in continental ice sheets and vegetation, and climate — GHG feedbacks from changes in natural (land and ocean) carbon sinks.

Second, the feedbacks are all based on a series of assumptions that climate science will not question (water vapour, positive cloud feedback, no / tiny lapse rate change).

We have wide upper and lower enhancement bounds on this partial derivative based on water vapor and cloud effects, including the possibility of negative feedbacks.

If it were not for the enormous sums of money involved, CAGW would have been laughed out of existence long ago as a ridiculous conjecture based on invalid assumptions that disregard water vapor and clouds.

The conclusion that limiting CO2 below 450 ppm will prevent warming beyond two degrees C is based on a conservative definition of climate sensitivity that considers only the so - called fast feedbacks in the climate system, such as changes in clouds, water vapor and melting sea ice.

In an effort to deal with all this waste in a green way, New York - based BioHitech has developed a device that breaks food waste down into grey water and connects to a cloud system to allow the company to tap the power of big data to monitor and improve the performance of the units.

«Evaluation of water permittivity models from ground - based observations of cold clouds at frequencies between 23 and 170 GHz.»

But I am not about to buy in on the AGW premise of IPCC, which is based on a mean ECS value of 3.2 C (with a «fat tail»), which is in turn based on net positive feedback from clouds and a water vapor feedback based on essentially maintaining constant relative humidity with warming, all of which is solely based on model predictions and not on empirical evidence.

Developed specifically for the ARM Facility, the Raman lidar is an active, ground - based laser remote sensing instrument that measures water - vapor mixing radio and several cloud and aerosol properties.

In reality (based on observations), warming of the lower atmosphere pulls water vapor away from those higher cloud - forming levels of the atmosphere, and the amount of cloud formation there actually decreases.

O'Dell, C. W., Wentz, F. J. & Bennartz, R. Cloud liquid water path from satellite - based passive microwave observations: a new climatology over the global oceans.

Based on this study, we conclude that GOES level - 2B cloud - top retrievals are a reliable tool for prediction evaluations but the algorithm's retrievals of ice water path are not.

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.

The simulator does not itself predict changes in water vapor or clouds, and so those feedback variables are a separate source of data with a higher uncertainty, but still likely to change in a manner that does not radically alter the results expected on the basis of current understanding.

Trimble offers the latest version of its smart water mapping and work management software, Trimble ® Unity 3.0, a cloud - based, GIS - centric software - as - a-service (SaaS) solution for smart water management.
