Global dimming - An environmental hypothesis on climate change Autori: Catrinel-Raluca Giurma-Handley, Constantin-Marin Antohi, Ioan Crăciun, Ion GiurmaData aparitiei: July/August 2008 Revista: Environmental Engineering and Management Journal › Vol. 7 › Nr. 4 ISSN: 1843 - 3707 ![]() Abstract The paper approaches studies of projections of future climate change that use a hierarchy of coupled ocean/atmosphere/seaice/ land-surface models to provide indicators of global response as well as possible regional patterns of climate change. It is evidenced that, after the global warming, a new phenomenon that occurs in the terrestrial atmosphere has drawn the attention of the scientific community. It is called global dimming - the decrease of the solar beams capacity (infrared, visible, ultraviolet) to reach the earth surface, with the effect of cooling the surface, masking the effects of global warming over the general climate. |
