Abstract

This paper introduces the concept of cloud-climate feedback along with its role in the sensitivity of the climate system. It reviews available cloud feedback diagnostic methods and representative results in three-dimensional atmospheric general circulation models. A case study is presented to analyze physical processes responsible for cloud feedbacks that control the sensitivity of the NCAR Community Climate Model. The paper further discusses weaknesses of current numerical models and areas of required research on this subject.
