Pingie: HTTP:: How Solar Emissions Strip Clouds of Their Water

HTTP:: How Solar Emissions Strip Clouds of Their Water
--------
Planetary scientists have known for a long time that several billion tons of water disappear from Earth's atmosphere each year, as if by magic. However, despite having this knowledge, explaining why this happens has turned out to be a very tricky question. Now, Technical University of Denmark (DTU) National Space Institute experts believe they may have found the answer. The most severe loss occurs during the cosmic-ray minimum, they say, when clouds over the ocean lose up to seven percent of their water mass in less than a week, AlphaGalileo informs. “The Sun makes fantastic natural experiments that allow us to test our ideas about its effects on the climate,” Professor Henrik Svensmark explains. He is the lead author of a new study detailing the finds, published in the latest issue of the scientific journal Geophysical Research Letters. He argues that the loss is prompted by reduced amounts of small aerosols, which occur when solar explosions interfere with the cosmi!
c rays that permeate the Universe. Generated by stellar explosions, these cosmic rays travel at nearly the speed of light, and hit everything in their path with tremendous energies. When they impact solar emissions in the upper magnetosphere â€" the protective layer of our planet that prevents us from dying in several way...
