Winter – Enhanced Cloud Longwave Emissivity (+ΔT)
Thin, clean cloudPoor insulatorHeat escapes
Thin, polluted cloud.Better insulator. Heat istrapped and re-emitted. [Garrett and Zhao, Nature, 2006]
F(LW) = T4

Cloud emissivity depends foremost on cloud thickness

Summary
• Seasonal pollution is associated with changes in low-level Arctic cloud properties– Higher longwave cloud emissivity– Net surface warming in winter and spring
(about 5 W/m2) – Compensating surface cooling in summer if
surface is dark
![Page 38: Tim Garrett University of Utah](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/5681316d550346895d97e7c7/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Summary
• Increases in downwelling longwave fluxes occur in late winter and early spring, at the beginning of the melting ‘push’
![Page 39: Tim Garrett University of Utah](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062308/5681316d550346895d97e7c7/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Summary
• The CRF increases are larger than would be expected from effective radius decreases alone
• There may be interesting interactions between pollution and cloud dynamics, associated with enhanced cloud top radiative cooling– Cloud cover– Cloud circulations– Cloud top entrainment– Cloud forcing?
