Description
Robert Pincus is a Lamont Research Professor at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, Columbia Climate School. His research interests include clouds, radiation, remote sensing, and climate modeling. This talk will discuss radiation, how it interacts with the climate system, and how careful simplifications of radiation explain two particular phenomena: sharp peaks of cooling in trade wind regimes and “hydrologic sensitivity”- the increase in global-mean precipitation with warming.
