Cloud Feedback Mechanisms

Cloud Feedback Mechanisms is a theoretical construct in climate science that represents the processes by which changes in cloud properties and distributions modulate the Earth's radiative balance in response to atmospheric and surface perturbations, thereby influencing the magnitude and direction of climate system responses.
