Warmer temperatures are shifting clouds toward the poles
2016-07-12 01:51:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Grist: The warming of the planet over the past few decades has shifted a key band of clouds poleward and increased the heights of cloud tops, exacerbating Earths rising temperature, a new study released Monday suggests. The reaction of clouds to a warming atmosphere has been one of the major sources of uncertainty in estimating exactly how much the world will heat up from the accumulation of greenhouse gases, as some changes would enhance warming, while others would counteract it. The study, detailed...

Warming Is Shifting Around Earths Clouds

Clouds Are Moving Higher, Subtropical Dry Zones Expanding, According to Satellite Analysis
2016-07-11 20:18:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Science Bulletin: A Scripps Institution of Oceanography at University of California San Diego-led research team analyzing satellite cloud records has found that the cloudy storm tracks on Earth are moving toward the poles and subtropical dry zones are expanding. Cloud tops are also moving higher in the atmosphere. The record confirms computer climate models that have predicted these changes to have taken place during the past several decades as a consequence of the accumulation of societally generated greenhouse...

The world's clouds are in different places than they were 30 years ago
2016-07-11 14:53:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Daily Press: In a new study published in Nature on Monday, scientists say they have for the first time thoroughly documented one of the most profound planetary changes yet to be caused by a warming climate: The distribution of clouds all across the Earth has shifted, they say. And moreover, it has shifted in such a way -- by expanding subtropical dry zones, located between around 20 and 30 degrees latitude in both hemispheres, and by raising cloud tops -- as to make global warming worse. "As global warming...
Astronomers discover the first water clouds outside our solar system
2016-07-08 14:45:30| Extremetech
Astronomers have produced the first ever evidence of water clouds outside our solar system, and they're on a brown dwarf that's right on our doorstep.
