What are clouds made of? I thought water and ice (h20 and h20) were the perpetrators of that phenomenon. |
Evidently opaque supersaturated concentrations of h2o in clouds with 100% humidity and particulate sizes to 60mm (big hail) are obviously far less capable of blocking (reflecting and absorbing)radiant energy than mere wiffits of minor h2o concentrations. I wonder if he meant co2 rather than h2o. I also wonder if he ever looks at the satellite weather forecases that show the clouds, perhaps combined with the radar, you know, the IR images?
