About This Book

Exploring how clouds influence radiation, circulation, and precipitation

Clouds are an influential and complex element of Earth's climate system. They evolve rapidly in time and exist over small spatial scales, but also affect global radiative balance and large-scale circulations. With more powerful models and extensive observations now at our disposal, the climate impact of clouds is receiving ever more research attention.

Clouds and Their Climatic Impacts: Radiation, Circulation, and Precipitation presents an overview of our current understanding on various types of clouds and cloud systems and their multifaceted role in the radiative budget, circulation patterns, and rainfall.

Volume highlights include:

  • Interactions of aerosol with both liquid and ice clouds
  • Surface and atmospheric cloud radiative feedbacks and effects
  • Arctic, extratropical, and tropical clouds
  • Cloud-circulation coupling at global, meso, and micro scales
  • Precipitation efficiency, phase, and measurements
  • The role of machine learning in understanding clouds and climate

The American Geophysical Union promotes discovery in Earth and space science for the benefit of humanity. Its publications disseminate scientific knowledge and provide resources for researchers, students, and professionals.
