摘要: Cloud radiative forcing constitutes the impact of clouds upon earth's present climate, while cloud feedback is change in this associated with climatic change. The study addresses two issues concerning forcing. first that an intercomparison forcing, as predicted by six different general circulation models, shows a considerable lack agreement, underscoring need for improved understanding cloud/radiation interactions within such models. second issue pertains to examination strategies which model-predicted should be compared satellite-derived data sets.
