I should keep my mouth shut until I go through this paper carefully,
but I am highly skeptical of this reported result.
Even if white roofs cause local increases in vertical stability, I
would be very skeptical if increases in surface albedo were to cause
decreases in planetary albedo, except in
Chris,
Re my original snow question, you say:
It is not a corallary to the Jacobson result that putting snow
beneath dark aerosols will warm climate. Snow, like roofs, is bright,
so it is understandable why one might think this. However snow, unlike
roofs, melts when you warm the overlying
Increased column stability may affect hydrological cycle and thus
thermohaline circulation.
This could be problematic and modelling seems wise
