ice-albedo feedback

This is an example of the ice-albedo feedback effect, and is explained further in section 2.7.

These processes are consistent with the classic ice-albedo feedback.

Glacier loss adds to global heat rise through a decrease in what is called ice-albedo feedback.

This effect has been primarily attributed to ice-albedo feedbacks.

Ice-albedo feedbacks could be equally invoked for other causes of climate change.

He found that the ice-albedo feedback created a positive feedback loop in the Earth's climate system.

Geological evidence shows that ice-albedo feedback caused sea ice advance to near the equator at several points in Earth history.

Effect of ice-albedo feedback on global sensitivity in a one-dimensional radiative-convective climate model.

This positive ice-albedo feedback system could become independent of climate change past a certain point which will cause huge losses of ice to the icecaps.

This delay may be a result of the continuing changes in climate as the Earth emerged from the last glacial period and related to ice-albedo feedback.

Ice-albedo feedback, associated polar sensitivity to climate change, and their global implications, require detailed analysis and modeling.

Positive feedback effects are common (e.g. ice-albedo feedback) but runaway effects do not necessarily emerge from their presence.

Changes in cloud cover are closely coupled with other feedback, including the water vapor feedback and ice-albedo feedback.

Tipping points in the climate system describe thresholds, such as ice-albedo feedback which can cause abrupt climate change, and possibly leading to a new state.

Since the effect is to reinforce the initial perturbation, it is a positive feedback effect - the so-called ice-albedo feedback.

An ice-albedo feedback would result in the ice rapidly advancing to the equator once glaciers spread to within 25 to 30 of the equator, according to modelling.

Firstly, the retreat of the light ice surface reveals the darker ocean, causing it to warm up more in summer from the solar radiation (ice-albedo feedback mechanism).

Scientists have done a good job incorporating some feedbacks into their climate models, especially those, like the ice-albedo feedback, that operate directly on the temperature of air or water.

The primary cause of this phenomenon is ice-albedo feedback, whereby melting ice uncovers darker land or ocean beneath, which then absorbs more sunlight, causing more heating.

However, around a hotter star such as an F-dwarf, the star's visible and ultraviolet light is reflected by planetary ice and snow in a process called ice-albedo feedback.

First, is the ice-albedo feedback, whereby an initial warming causes snow and ice to melt, exposing darker surfaces that absorb more sunlight, leading to more warming.

An example of a positive feedback is the ice-albedo feedback, in which increasing temperature causes ice to melt, which increases the amount of heat that Earth absorbs.

For example, Curry et al. (1995) showed that the so-called "simple" sea ice-albedo feedback involved complex interactions with lead fraction, melt ponds, ice thickness, snow cover, and sea-ice extent.

This ice-albedo feedback is one of the main reasons warming is happening far faster in the high north, where there are vast stretches of sea ice, than anywhere else on Earth.

Many Global Climate Models (GCMs) have sea ice implemented in their numerical simulation scheme in order to capture the Ice-albedo feedback correctly.
