Study measures the effect of regional change in clouds caused by ships’ emissions; masking GHG warming

Green Car Congress

In climate models, if you simulate the world with sulfur emissions from shipping, and you simulate the world without these emissions, there is a sizable cooling effect from changes in the model clouds due to shipping. —co-author Hannah Director, a UW doctoral student in statistics.

TOAR shows present-day global ozone distribution and trends relevant to health; public database

Green Car Congress

Statistical analysis was carried out on the data, in order to calculate peak and high ozone levels and to interpret trends and changes in the data. TOAR has created a large publicly available database which also includes a complete set of statistics and graphical downloads. Source: University of Leicester. Click to enlarge.

Study finds rising temperatures increase risk of unhealthy ozone levels absent sharp cuts in precursors

Green Car Congress

The RCPs were chosen to represent a broad range of climate outcomes, based on a literature review. Warmer temperatures and other changes in the atmosphere related to a changing climate, including higher atmospheric levels of methane, spur the chemical reactions that lead to ozone. The RCP 8.5 anthropogenic precursor emission scenarios.
