Signatures of ionized calcium in the upper atmosphere of an ultra-hot, Jupiter-like exoplanet have been found by international team of astronomers led by Emily Deibert at the University of Toronto. First discovered in 2016, WASP-76b has about the same mass as Jupiter and has a radius almost twice as large.

When looking at the effect of changes in greenhouse gases, one must look at how their forcing corresponds to the energy balance at the top of the atmosphere. 679-688, 2016. Another weak point is Kininmonth’s assumption of the water vapour being constant and at same concentrations as in the tropics over the whole globe. References.

LISA LINOWES and ERIC TURNER on behalf of the SAVE RIGHT WHALES COALITION Since 2016, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has declared three Unusual Mortality Events (UME) involving large whale species in the Atlantic Ocean. The UMEs for the humpback and minke whales include deaths in 2016 and 2017, respectively.

The radiative forcing from these changes in concentrations can be easily calculated using standard formulas (from Etminan et al, 2016 which supersede the slightly simpler ones from IPCC TAR), as about 2 W/m 2 for the CO 2 change and 0.65 W/m 2 for CH 4. In contrast, methane has a perturbation time-scale of about 12 years. Highwood, and K.P.

The fact that there is a natural greenhouse effect (that the atmosphere restricts the passage of infra-red (IR) radiation from the Earth’s surface to space) is easily deducible from; i) the mean temperature of the surface (around 15ºC) and, ii) knowing that the planet is normally close to radiative equilibrium. in IPCC TAR).

The difference is due largely to the differences in the regional atmospheric response that occurs in concert with the SST warming. In particular, they don’t just respond to SST changes, but also how the atmosphere changes as the SSTs change. 2016 ), a reduction of Saharan dust concentration since the 1970s ( Evan et al.
