Falling Clouds

Post by smithcorp »

NASA satellite data has shown that the Earth’s cloud tops have been lowering over the last decade.

Data comes from NASA's Terra satellite and found a 1% reduction in cloud height (or 30 to 40m) over that period. Not sure what this means, but I understand in terms of aviation, cloud height in the troposphere relates to energy. if this is the same mechanism, then it may mean we are losing more heat into space, as a possible climate change feedback meachanism.

Also different hot spots from citys changing some weather patterns on a smaller scale.
Some play it safe on the merry-go-round, others go for the thrills of the roller-coaster.

I have a joke for you. I have a prediction that you are going to walk into a bar, my prediction was wrong and your wallet is gone.
