Cloud Radiation Interaction and the Earth's Climate: Relevance to the Climate of the Arctic
The influence on the energy balance of the earth's climate system is reviewed and is based on recent satellite observations of the Earth's Radiation Budget (ERB) and other satellite-derived cloud information. The special difficulties that polar cloudiness poses in analysis of ERB data are...
