An increase in the thickness of clouds as described by cloud liquid water content would generally increase the albedo of the clouds ... Greatest albedo change for given increase in liquid water is possible for relatively thin clouds since thick clouds are essentially saturated in brightness. Various suggestions have been offered as to how clouds might change with a warmer climate. A warmer atmosphere would hold more water vapour and possibly also more liquid water, hence cloud thickness could well increase. 1, record 4, English, - cloud%20thickness

Les deux boîtes sont supportées par une monture qu'on fixe sur un trépied au moyen d’un boulon. Les parois cylindriques des deux boîtes sont garnies à l'intérieur de papier héliosensible. Lorsque le Soleil brille, les rayons entrant par l'une des fentes, forment sur le papier une petite image lumineuse de la fente. Cette image se déplace en même temps que le Soleil, à raison de quelques millimètres l'heure, et trace une bande sur le papier sensible. Les parties impressionnées, de couleur brune, correspondent aux instants où le Soleil a brillé. Les heures sont repérables par un calque de lecture que l'on applique ensuite sur les bandes. Les écrans voisins des fentes ont pour but d’abriter des rayons du Soleil, la fente occidentale avant midi et la fente orientale après midi, de sorte que les deux tracés se fassent exactement suite. 1, record 5, French, - h%C3%A9liographe%20de%20Jordan

La région ionisée principalement responsable des communications à longue distance est la couche F. Elle s’ionise au lever du soleil, atteint très rapidement son maximum pour diminuer progressivement au coucher et atteindre son minimum juste avant le lever du jour. Au cours de la journée, la région F se divise en deux : 1. la couche F1(de 150 à 200 km du sol) qui n’ est pas un moyen de propagation important et dont sa formation est directement dépendante du lever et du coucher du soleil. Après le coucher, la couche F1 diminue fortement pour laisser la place à la couche F2. 2. la couche F2(de 250 à 400 km du sol) est la première couche qui supporte les communications en haute fréquence. [...] elle est relativement mince pendant la journée étant donné la présence de F. Par contre, au cours de la nuit, cette couche double ses dimensions, étant directement sous l'influence des rayonnements solaires, elle est très dense et permet des communications à plus de 1500 km en un seul bond. 4, record 11, French, - r%C3%A9gion%20F
