Emergent Constraints for Cloud Feedbacks [PDF]
Current 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 ...

The Role of Mesoscale Cloud Morphology in the Shortwave Cloud Feedback
Geophysical Research Letters, 2022 Abstract 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 ...

Processes Responsible for Cloud Feedback [PDF]
Current 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]
Earth 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

Photoionizing feedback in spiral arm molecular clouds [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2020 ABSTRACT We present simulations of a 500 pc2 region, containing gas of mass 4 × 106 M⊙, extracted from an entire spiral galaxy simulation, scaled up in resolution, including photoionizing feedback from stars of mass >18 M⊙. Our region is evolved for 10 Myr and shows clustered star formation along the arm generating ≈ 5000 cluster ...

Contributions to regional precipitation change and its polar-amplified pattern under warming
Environmental Research: Climate, 2023 The polar regions are predicted to experience the largest relative change in precipitation in response to increased greenhouse-gas concentrations, where a substantial absolute increase in precipitation coincides with small precipitation rates in the ...

Simulating aerosol–radiation–cloud feedbacks on meteorology and air quality over eastern China under severe haze conditionsin winter [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2015 The aerosol-radiation-cloud feedbacks on meteorology and air quality over eastern China under severe winter haze conditions in January 2013 are simulated using the fully coupled online Weather Research and Forecasting/Chemistry (WRF-Chem) model.

Convective Self‐Aggregation Occurs Without Radiative Feedbacks in Warm Climates
Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 Previous research showed that radiative feedbacks are essential to the spontaneous development of convective aggregation (CSA) in idealized atmosphere models.

Aerosol Effects on Instability, Circulations, Clouds, and Precipitation
Advances in Meteorology, 2014 It is well known that increasing aerosol and associated changes in aerosol-cloud interactions and precipitation since industrialization have been playing an important role in climate change, but this role has not been well understood.
