Those are all things that, you know, how you can actually see the Perhaps observable increase in cadence of different types of atmospheric phenomena interact with the longer-term kind of very large impactful events that the sedimentdelivery system, such as rivers,
his answer was, I don't know that we'll ever see the end of the age of oil, but I do know that the Stone Age didn't end atmospheric cooling, and solar energy, and actually the production of clean water because we can use them as dew collectors in the morning
um so so there when I met him I he was like he was texting and whatever and I atmospheric CO2 detector yeah exactly what would you bring if you're doing the science March what would be your best experiment that would be that would work
this thing called, I started hearing about this idea of geoengineering. It was, I first heard about it in a talk, in a paper that I read from a very, from a Nobel Laureate atmospheric scientist named Paul Crutzen, who published a paper about this idea of putting particles up into the stratosphere. Basically, the idea, he already agreed that we wouldbe getting into dangerous situation with climate change. How would we, what would we do if we had to cool things off quickly? And he came up with this idea of--it's not his idea--but
were struggling to get even the most basic details about Mars what Mars was really like we weren't sure what the atmospheric pressure was we weren't sure how hostile or habitable it might be notonly that but we were laboring under a kind of psychological baggage that had
And this is a wavefront censor, and it says what optical affects the atmosphere has induced into the images of the star. So you can see the star's jittery from the atmospheric motion. The atmospheres introduces defocus.It introduces astigmatism, coma. And here are you have imperfect wavefronts coming in from the -- because the atmosphere has distorted them.
I had to slip that in in case you forgot I was Catholic. atmospherically equivalent in its carbon content.
have an 81% chance of being in a very strong El Niño. That's the highest odds I've seen for that. The atmospheric response scales with that. So, if that temperature is much much warmer than average, then that's a stronger El Niño and has a stronger influence over global atmospheric circulations. A contributing factor to the strength of this El Niño is what's known as a Kelvin wave. A 9,000 mile long warm water mass moving across the Pacific. That's a whopping 7.5° C or 13.5°
This graph shows a correlation between global population, gross-domestic product, GDP, precipitous emission, and atmospheric CO2. And on the axis, there are the years. You see what happened between 1900 and the year 2000?
that while in the rest of the world rain comes vertically in an arbor under certain atmospheric conditions it goes horizontally and you just can't walk into it and it was that kind of a day and very few people showed up for his talk you can see all the empty seats this is a Hill Auditorium that seated 4,000
Okay. Let me get myself ready. I've never had given myself an introduction, therefore, that's good. Okay. Well, on we get started. My name is Cliff Mass and I'm a professor of atmospheric sciences at the University of Washington. And my specialty is weather prediction, the weather of the Pacific Northwest. I'm getting very interested in local climate change too. And I guess I'm here because maybe not for that reason, but because of the book, so whatever reason I'm here, okay? I'll go from there. And it's a pleasure to be here,
There were a lot of early ideas about the possible cause. Maybe it was atmospheric pollution or newly paved roads. Maybe it was X-rays, poison gas from World War I, or the after-effects of the 1918 flu pandemic.
to determine the atmospheres of these Earth-sized exoplanets. We can pick out atmospheric constituents of larger Jupiter, maybe Neptune-sized planets that we find out there, but not the Earth's yet. And that's what we want to do-- is to tell what's on the-- what's in the atmosphere and what's on the surface of these Earth-sized planets.
What are those parameters? Because you need planetary atmospheric scientists to do that kind of science. So the fantastic discoveries that are being made are being made between those disciplines, blending astrophysics and heliophysics and earth science and planetary
But, yeah. Anyway, so I was wondering, where do you think this comes from? The shift towards atmospheric horror rather than gore? And I would say it's there in fiction as well.
And this has an atmospheric link too.
So room temperature and atmospheric pressure, essentially.
There were various atmospheric scientists.
You can get atmospheric spectra.
He says that stabilizing atmospheric CO2 and climate requires that CO2 emissions approach zero.
They don't reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide.

Along with them are atmospheric physicists and others saying, "Well, just a damn minute.
And so there are issues of the atmospheric propagation of this radiation through the atmospheric .

When Monet decided to paint an atmospheric depiction that was not realistic, of the Thames River,
And that showed the oscillating annual atmospheric concentration of CO2.
to make corrections for the atmospheric distortion, for the Earth's motion in space, precession.
right temperature we're in an atmospheric environment and so forth but we're trying to practice things like actually positioning the Rover over an
But it's looking at the atmospheric aerosol and it's color coded by aerosol source, but very high resolution meteorological analyses
But we are still filling the atmospheric bathtub.
we're looking at doubling the atmospheric CO2 content from preindustrial values by mid-century, and at least tripling it by the end of the century.
It comes from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, at great cost of taxpayer dollars.
The whole thing is an atmospheric pressure.

They compress the air to about 50 times atmospheric pressure.

So there's a line chart here that shows atmospheric greenhouse gases, and of course there's other things-- industrialisation-- going on.
so black the Blackness of a shadow that has no atmospheric you know cross- lighting it's very binary so you got
And that pretty much limits you to the atmospheric windows.
You talked about the increased greenhouse gases increasing the atmospheric potential.
on the reflections of the moisture in the atmospheric haze.
to what's already up there. It's basically not noticeable, and it doesn't contribute to acid rain. It, it's really, and there are other issues such as the health issues, such as what impact these particles might have on atmospheric chemistry and the ozone hole; to what degree they might contribute to the, or slow the healing of the ozone hole, things like that which could have health impacts. But as far as particles breathing in the way that we do with coal plants and things like that, not really an issue. Because I remember
Car modification. Atmospheric research. So this is one that I'm currently really into.
And then, through these long-range atmospheric ripple effects, the Amazon is also influencing weather in North America as well.
