But, in 2013, the parties to the London Protocol adopted an amendment that is intended to be. The 2013 amendment has not yet entered into force. Solar radiation management is distinct from CDR. environmental disturbance would be minimized and the scientific benefits maximized.”

AR6 of the best

Real Climate

Don’t mention the hiatus: Readers will probably remember the prominence of the ‘hiatus’ in the discussions around the AR5 report (written in 2013) (see here , here , or here ). and other things worth noting – for instance, the much better and more direct graphics that they have clearly worked on a lot.

A deep dive into the IPCC’s updated carbon budget numbers

Real Climate

And since the first IPCC estimates published in 2013, we have learned a lot and have gotten much better at estimating remaining carbon budgets. IPCC reported carbon budgets for the first time in 2013. in 2018, but they represent a significant update since AR5 in 2013. In the 2018 IPCC Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5°C

are used all over the world, based on calculations that quantify the effects of physical mechanisms and the way different parts of the atmosphere are connected to each other. The physics-based models describe how energy flows through the atmosphere and ocean, as well as how the forces from different air masses push against each other.

Volatile Chemical Products: Important Contributors to Harmful Particulate Matter

HumanNature

Candidate in the Department of Chemistry at Colorado State University Earths atmosphere is one of our greatest shared resources and provides many ingredients required for life. We breathe oxygen from the atmosphere, weather systems distribute water, and the ozone in the upper atmosphere protects us from harmful radiation.

Solar polarization paradox resolved at last

Physics World

The current polarization puzzle originated in 1996, when astrophysicists Jan Stenflo of ETH Zurich in Switzerland and Christoph Keller (then at the US National Solar Observatory in Arizona) used an instrument called ZIMPOL (Zurich Imaging Polarimeter) to study solar radiation at a wavelength of around 589nm.

The unconventional scientist who predicted that rising carbon dioxide levels would change the climate

Physics World

The correlation had been shown in a paper by an author outside the conventional scientific community, so, for good measure, Simpson added that a non-expert could not properly appreciate how atmospheric circulation affects the absorption of radiation. Other little-known researchers, however, made essential progress too. 139 1961 ).
