Cloud Radiative Effects

Cloud Radiative Effects is a radiative phenomenon in which clouds modify the Earth's energy balance by altering the amount of incoming solar radiation and outgoing terrestrial radiation, thereby exerting a net influence on atmospheric and surface temperatures relative to cloud-free conditions.
