The high VPD air mixes with passing air in the lower cloud zone (cumulus clouds altitude) and retards cloud formation somewhere.
Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach (@weschenbach on eX-Twitter) I love science because of the surprises. Today I had several. My first surprise today was evidence of strong negative feedback in…
This paper will explore the relationship between global VPD and global Cloud Fraction (Cover), CC.
By revealing higher-than-expected supersaturation levels and the activation of smaller CCN, this research challenges what we thought we knew and opens new doors for understanding Earth's atmosphere.
Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach If aliens in spaceships saw our world, they wouldn’t name it “Earth”. They’d name it “Water” because that’s what makes up more than 70% of…
We can debate the reasons for less cloud cover, but generally speaking less cloud/more sunshine leads to higher temperatures.
Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach I got to thinking about the clouds again. They’re easily the least understood part of the climate. So let me start with what we do…
The inability to see total eclipses is one of the lesser-known impacts of global warming, but it is areal loss for astronomers and the rest of us.
All life on Earth (somehow) originates from the Sun's heat. But how much of the solar irradiation reaches us Earthlings?
This Model was created to encourage scientist to collect the information necessary to determine the Earth’s ET change over time, the area of “special parcels” and plume size. This Model shows that this data is necessary...
Trees, Clouds, and the Unsettling Truth about Climate Science In a recent revelation from the international CLOUD project at the nuclear research center CERN, researchers have identified sesquiterpenes—gaseous hydrocarbons...
Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach Well, I decided to take a shot at publishing my views on the cloud feedback response to increases in surface warming. I wrote it up…
…models are pushing further and further into the domain of the ‘terra incognita.
Statistical uncertainty in the CERES and Cloud data seem to retard acceptance of alternative GW theories.
IPCC forecasters overstate warming because they still somehow really don’t understand clouds at all.
