摘要:
AbstractThe global cloud distribution is recognized as forming a major component of the Earth's climate through its influence on both the energy and moisture exchanges in the earth‐atmosphere system. This review concentrates on the radiative effects of clouds and examines a number of modelling and empirical studies that have addressed the possible significance of the role of cloud cover in climate change. This question is still not fully resolved. One reason for this is inadequate data and, therefore, some of the cloud climatologies available and the associated problems of data collection and interpretation are discussed. The review focuses specifically on interactions at high latitudes and describes recent studies which suggest that there may be a relationship between sea ice extent and cloud cover. Some possible consequences of this are discussed in the context of a high latitude response to climate chang
