I've forgotten the details) a weaker cooling signal in the Arctic,
where aerosol concentrations were low, which is not well understood.

Rosenfeld and his colleagues are now working on a project to do exactly that by studying
aerosol concentrations over Houston,
where the team also has access to a dedicated lightning - mapping array.
Aerosols have both natural and human sources, so if we just assume aerosol concentration variation in the atmosphere will continue as it has for the last 165 years, then future AGW can be projected with TCR (1 + beta) where beta is the historical fraction of CO2 radiative forcing caused by all other GHG and a

I was at an international conference on
aerosol in September and I made a comment that we're getting to the stage with CLOUD
where we will understand the processes extremely well, but we still won't be able to reduce the errors because we don't have good enough atmospheric observations of what the
concentrations of these vapors are in the atmosphere versus altitude.
Should the Hadley cell, monsoons, and Walker circulation be expected to increase in strength due to greater water vapor
concentrations (except
where aerosol emissions throw a wrench into it)?
You can see this below,
where high sulfate
aerosol concentrations, show in orange and red, only cover a small percentage of the globe.
