“ Researchers will examine the effects of increased greenhouse-gas concentrations on the formation of tropical cirrus clouds. Increased greenhouse-gas concentrations cause higher temperatures that, in turn, cause more intense convection. Convection in the atmosphere is the up or down circulation of air that plays a role in cloud formation. Scientists also will study the role of convection within clouds. ”

“ Often, this radiation results from heat exciting matter, vibrating its molecules.
The warmth of the planet’s surface also causes liquid water to evaporate resulting in an increase of water vapor in the atmosphere, leading to additional surface warming. ”
