Sensitivity of Surface Cloud Radiative Forcing to Arctic Cloud Properties
The majority of cloud radiative forcing studies to date conclude that on a global-level, clouds have a net cooling effect on the climate system (e.g., Ramanathan et al. 1989). In contrast, observations and model results of cloud forcing in the Arctic show that, with the exception of a short period d...

| Summary: | The majority of cloud radiative forcing studies to date conclude that on a global-level, clouds have a net cooling effect on the climate system (e.g., Ramanathan et al. 1989). In contrast, observations and model results of cloud forcing in the Arctic show that, with the exception of a short period during summer |
