Cloud Albedo Feedback

Cloud Albedo Feedback is a climate feedback mechanism wherein changes in cloud properties, particularly cloud cover and optical thickness, alter the planetary albedo, thereby modulating the amount of absorbed solar radiation and influencing the Earth's energy balance in response to temperature variations.
