Y Chen, J Haywood, Y Wang, F Malavelle… - Nature …, 2024 - nature.com
With global warming currently standing at approximately+ 1.2° C since pre-industrial times,
climate change is a pressing global issue. Marine cloud brightening is one proposed …

Diurnally asymmetric cloud cover trends amplify greenhouse warming

H Luo, J Quaas, Y Han - Science Advances, 2024 - science.org
Surface air temperature (SAT) is a key indicator of climate change. Variations in cloud cover
affect SAT by interacting with radiation. During daytime, clouds tend to cool the surface by …

Recent global climate feedback controlled by Southern Ocean cooling

SM Kang, P Ceppi, Y Yu, IS Kang - Nature Geoscience, 2023 - nature.com
The magnitude of global warming is controlled by climate feedbacks associated with various
aspects of the climate system, such as clouds. The global climate feedback is the net effect …

Observational evidence that cloud feedback amplifies global warming

P Ceppi, P Nowack - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2021 - pnas.org
Global warming drives changes in Earth's cloud cover, which, in turn, may amplify or
dampen climate change. This “cloud feedback” is the single most important cause of …
