Emergent Constraints on Regional Cloud Feedbacks [PDF]
Geophysical Research Letters, 2021 Abstract Low‐cloud based emergent constraints have the potential to substantially reduce uncertainty in Earth’s equilibrium climate sensitivity, but recent work has shown that previously developed constraints fail in the latest generation of climate models, suggesting that new approaches are needed.

Insights from a refined decomposition of cloud feedbacks
Geophysical Research Letters, 2016 Decomposing cloud feedback into components due to changes in several gross cloud properties provides valuable insights into its physical causes. Here we present a refined decomposition that separately considers changes in free tropospheric and low cloud ...

Cloud Condensate and Radiative Feedbacks at Midlatitudes in an Aquaplanet
Geophysical Research Letters, 2018 Climate models show a robust negative feedback in the midlatitudes, coincident with an increase in cloud liquid in the mixed‐phase region of the control climate.

Low-Cloud Feedbacks from Cloud-Controlling Factors: A Review [PDF]
Surveys in Geophysics, 2017 AbstractThe response to warming of tropical low-level clouds including both marine stratocumulus and trade cumulus is a major source of uncertainty in projections of future climate. Climate model simulations of the response vary widely, reflecting the difficulty the models have in simulating these clouds.

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth SystemsIn simulations of radiative‐convective equilibrium (RCE), and with sufficiently large domains, organized convection enhances top of atmosphere outgoing longwave radiation due to the reduced cloud coverage and drying of the mean climate state.

Cloud Feedbacks from CanESM2 to CanESM5.0 and their influence on climate sensitivity [PDF]
Geoscientific Model Development, 2021 The newest iteration of the Canadian Earth System Model (CanESM5.0.3) has an effective climate sensitivity (EffCS) of 5.65 K, which is a 54 % increase relative to the model's previous version (CanESM2 – 3.67 K), and the highest sensitivity of all current

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 We show that the seasonal cycles of clouds over the mid‐latitude oceans in the Northern Hemisphere are predictors of the responses of clouds to increasing sea‐surface temperatures globally.

Effects of alternative cloud radiation parameterizations in a general circulation model [PDF]
Annales Geophysicae, 1996 Using the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) general circulation model (CCM2), a suite of alternative cloud radiation parameterizations has been tested.
