FBNet: Feedback Network for Point Cloud Completion

open access: yes, 2022
The rapid development of point cloud learning has driven point cloud completion into a new era. However, the information flows of most existing completion methods are solely feedforward, and high-level information is rarely reused to improve low-level feature learning. To this end, we propose a novel Feedback Network (FBNet) for point cloud completion,

Radiation feedback in dusty clouds [PDF]

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters, 2017
Abstract We have investigated the impact of photoionization and radiation pressure on a dusty star-forming cloud using one-dimensional radiation hydrodynamic simulations, which include absorption and re-emission of photons by dust. We find that, in a cloud of mass 105 M⊙ and radius 17 pc, the effect of radiation pressure is negligible ...

On the relationship between low cloud variability and lower tropospheric stability in the Southeast Pacific [PDF]

open access: yesAtmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2011
In this study, we examine marine low cloud cover variability in the Southeast Pacific and its association with lower-tropospheric stability (LTS) across a spectrum of timescales. On both daily and interannual timescales, LTS and low cloud amount are very

Emergent Constraints for Cloud Feedbacks [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Climate Change Reports, 2015
Emergent constraints are physically explainable empirical relationships between characteristics of the current climate and long-term climate prediction that emerge in collections of climate model simulations. With the prospect of constraining long-term climate prediction, scientists have recently uncovered several emergent constraints related to long ...

Comparison of Clouds and Cloud Feedback between AMIP5 and AMIP6

open access: yesAtmosphere, 2023
We examine the changes in clouds and cloud feedback between Phase 5 (AMIP5) and Phase 6 (AMIP6) of the Atmospheric Model Intercomparison Project. Each model is perturbed by uniformly increasing the sea surface temperature by 4 K. The simulated cloud fraction, the perturbed states and cloud radiative kernels are used to derive cloud feedback in the ...

Climate Models Underestimate Dynamic Cloud Feedbacks in the Tropics

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2023
Cloud feedbacks are the leading cause of uncertainty in climate sensitivity. The complex coupling between clouds and the large‐scale circulation in the tropics contributes to this uncertainty.

A Semi‐Analytical Model for Water Vapor, Temperature, and Surface‐Albedo Feedbacks in Comprehensive Climate Models

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2023
Radiative feedbacks govern the Earth's climate sensitivity and elucidate the geographic patterns of climate change in response to a carbon‐dioxide forcing.

The Role of Mesoscale Cloud Morphology in the Shortwave Cloud Feedback

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, 2022
A supervised neural network algorithm is used to categorize near-global satellite retrievals into three mesoscale cellular convective (MCC) cloud morphology patterns. At constant cloud amount, morphology patterns differ in brightness associated with the amount of optically-thin cloud features. Environmentally-driven transitions from closed MCC to other

Processes Responsible for Cloud Feedback [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Climate Change Reports, 2016
Cloud feedback on global climate is determined by the combined action of multiple processes that have different relevance in different cloud regimes. This review lays out the framework for cloud feedback and highlights recent advances and outstanding issues. A consensus is emerging on large-scale controls on cloud feedback.

Radiative forcing and feedback by forests in warm climates – a sensitivity study [PDF]

open access: yesEarth System Dynamics, 2016
We evaluate the radiative forcing of forests and the feedbacks triggered by forests in a warm, basically ice-free climate and in a cool climate with permanent high-latitude ice cover using the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology Earth System Model. As a
