Mean annual temperature (°F) Mean annual precipitation (inches)

To change phase, H2O molecules need energy to break bonds and escape from the liquid Evaporation

Hotter means more water vapor in atmosphere

evaporation rates dependent not only on temperature but also wind speed

Condensation

Most condensation falls as rain

Clouds need cloud condensation nuclei (CCNs)

Nucleation Automobiles Industry Biomass burning cloud Precursor gases: Rainout Evaporation Growth Dry deposition (sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides) Cloud uptake Aerosol Cycles [adapted from Jakob, 1999]

Cloud Formation in a Clean and Polluted Atmosphere

This cloud has only few cloud droplets, hence, reflects less sunlight (darker cloud). This cloud has more cloud droplets, hence, reflects more sunlight (lighter cloud).

Low Clouds Very thick water clouds reflect large amounts of sunlight Very near the surface, temperature of the cloud effectively the same as surface. Infrared radiation is therefore about the same - almost like the cloud wasn’t there! NET EFFECT: Cooling

High Clouds Thin, cold ice clouds reflect less sunlight Extremely cold, emits infrared at colder temperatures, prevents warmer surface infrared from escaping to space NET EFFECT: Warming

Elevated CO 2 stimulates photosynthesis Trees grow faster in elevated CO 2 and are bigger at the end of the experiment N concentrations are reduced No large changes in structure Stomatal conductance often is lower We know how trees respond to elevated CO 2 There is a wealth of data from many CO 2 enrichment studies demonstrating physiological responses of seedlings and young trees
