PHILLIP AUSTIN: <\/b><em>Shallow clouds are clouds that only go up to about three kilometers in the atmosphere.  And sometimes they rain, often they don&#8217;t.  But what they do always is pump water vapour and energy off of the surface where sunlight is absorbed and the ocean is evaporating.  And so these shallow clouds actually are like a valve in they control the moisture that&#8217;s available to deeper clouds in the tropics.    So they\u2019ve got a supporting role, but its actually quite a crucial supporting role, because their  mixing activity actually is the feeder  that supplies the energy to the huge tropical storms.<\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nDr. Austin says it&#8217;s difficult to represent shallow clouds in current climate models.  So he has resorted to tracking individual clouds to determine exactly what they do.\n<\/p>\n<p><b><em><br \/>\nLearn more at InnovationAnthology.com<\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nI\u2019M CHERYL CROUCHER <\/b>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Guest<\/h2>\n<h3> , <\/h3>\n<h4>, , , , <\/h4>\n<h2>Sponsor<\/h2>\n<h3><a href=\"\"><\/a><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/innovationanthology.com\/uploads\/\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Program Date:<\/strong>\u00a02014-02-27<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learning more about clouds and their relationship to<b> climate change<\/b> is what drives the research of <b>Dr. Phillip Austin. <\/b> His latest work at the University of British Columbia has focused on <b>shallow clouds<\/b>, cloud feedback and changes due to global warming.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[42,14,41],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1514","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-british-columbia","category-climate-change","category-oceans","has-post-title","has-post-date","has-post-category","has-post-tag","has-post-comment","has-post-author",""],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.innovationanthology.com\/import\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1514","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.innovationanthology.com\/import\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.innovationanthology.com\/import\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.innovationanthology.com\/import\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.innovationanthology.com\/import\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1514"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.innovationanthology.com\/import\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1514\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4916,"href":"https:\/\/www.innovationanthology.com\/import\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1514\/revisions\/4916"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.innovationanthology.com\/import\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1514"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.innovationanthology.com\/import\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1514"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.innovationanthology.com\/import\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1514"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
