CMIP6: Not-so-sudden stratospheric cooling

Real Climate

So SSU me Like MSU trends, these records reflected a weighted average of atmospheric temperatures, and the three SSU channels progressively weight higher levels in the stratosphere, roughly centered on 30km, 40km and 45km above the surface but with quite a bit of overlap. Thompson et al. We are using the NOAA-STAR version 3.0

A distraction due to errors, misunderstanding and misguided Norwegian statistics

Real Climate

A friend asked me if a discussion paper published on Statistics Norway’s website, ‘ To what extent are temperature levels changing due to greenhouse gas emissions? ’, was purposely timed for the next climate summit ( COP28 ). I don’t know the answer to his question. But this discussion paper is problematic for sure.

AR6 of the best

Real Climate

The radiative forcing bar chart has gone full circle: Almost every IPCC report has a version of the radiative bar chart showing the contributions over the historical period of all the different forcings (greenhouse gases, aerosols, solar, etc.). Oddly enough this is most reminiscent of the very first bar chart that appeared in Hansen et al.

Using Clouds to Fight Climate Change

HumanNature

Student in the Department of Atmospheric Science at Colorado State University Most people remember the water cycle they learned in school: water evaporates from lakes, rivers, and the ocean, air carrying this moisture rises, cools, condenses, and forms clouds, and these clouds precipitate water back down to the surface.

Degradation of coastal regions in the Pacific Islands

Our Environment

Ideally, the best way to save these islands is to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions. Increased levels of greenhouse gases from human industry and agriculture are the root cause of the erosion occurring within the Pacific Islands. should be. [4] should be.
