Effects of Surface Temperature and Clouds on the CO2 Forcing
CO 2 forcing is defined as the initial change in heating rate, with no feedbacks included, that is the direct response to an increase in the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere. We have conducted a study of the effects of surface temperature and clouds on the CO2 forcing, based on use of the Colorado State University general circulation model. We report results from a pair of perpetual July sim...
متن کاملEffects of clumping on temperature I: externally heated clouds
We present a study of radiative transfer in dusty, clumpy star-forming regions. A series of self-consistent, three-dimensional, continuum radiative transfer models are constructed for a grid of models parameterized by central luminosity, filling factor, clump radius, and face-averaged optical depth. The temperature distribution within the clouds is studied as a function of this parameterization...
متن کاملOrographic Effects on Precipitating Clouds
[1] Precipitation over and near mountains is not caused by topography but, rather, occurs when storms of a type that can occur anywhere (deep convection, fronts, tropical cyclones) form near or move over complex terrain. Deep convective systems occurring near mountains are affected by channeling of airflow near mountains, capping of moist boundary layers by flow subsiding from higher terrain, a...

Introduction Conclusions References Tables Figures ◭ ◮ ◭ ◮ Back Close Full Screen / Esc Abstract Introduction Conclusions References Tables Figures ◭ ◮ ◭ ◮ Back Close Full Screen / Esc Abstract Aerosols affect the climate system by changing cloud characteristics in many ways. They act as cloud condensation and ice nuclei and may have an influence on the hydrological cycle. Here we investigate a...
متن کاملEffects of Clouds, Soil Moisture, Precipitation, and Water Vapor on Diurnal Temperature Range
The diurnal range of surface air temperature (DTR) has decreased worldwide during the last 4–5 decades and changes in cloud cover are often cited as one of the likely causes. To determine how clouds and moisture affect DTR physically on daily bases, the authors analyze the 30-min averaged data of surface meteorological variables and energy fluxes from the the First International Satellite Land ...
