This knowledge can help with solar radiation management in marine ecosystems, including the Great Barrier Reef. One of the worst mass bleaching events occurred in 2016 and 2017 on the Great Barrier Reef, causing bleaching on 91% of the system’s reefs. Over the past two decades, coral reefs have declined at unprecedented rates.

For example, Antarctica acts to cool our planet by reflecting solar radiation back to space by virtue of the brightness of its snow surface. The danger is that the Antarctic sea ice is starting to behave like the Arctic, with sustained loss of ocean cover and consequent absorption of solar radiation.

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.

Cool heads and clear thinking are mandatory in the competitive world of front-line research as academic leaders strive for that winning – and sustainable – combination of visibility, recognition and impact that will set their physics programmes apart from the rest of the field.

It was a bold claim and some researchers initially struggled to accept the implications because it meant that energy must be flowing from the “cool” 6000 K surface of the Sun into the hotter corona – seemingly in violation of thermodynamics. This estimate was later revised upwards to 10 6 K and above. million kelvin (green).

That often brings to mind images of people trying to catch some shade under a baking hot sun or city kids cooling off in a fountain while their parents sweat on the sidelines. The types of clouds that have increased—specifically thick, precipitating clouds —reflect sunlight back into space during the day and have a cooling effect.

What they showed are the distinct fingerprints of two kinds of forcing; increasing solar activity which warms all parts of the atmosphere, and carbon dioxide increases which warm the surface and troposphere, but cool the stratosphere and above. 163-165, 2017.
