How nature's smallest clouds slow down large-scale circulations critical for climate (CloudBrake)

Date du début: 1 janv. 2017, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2021,

Do even the smallest clouds simply drift with the wind? Vast areas of our oceans and land are covered with shallow cumulus clouds. These low-level clouds are receiving increased attention as uncertainties in their representation in global climate models lead to a spread in predictions of future climate. This attention emphasizes radiative and thermodynamic impacts of clouds, which are thought to e ...
