Cloud-atmosphere Feedbacks

Cloud-Atmosphere Feedbacks is a theoretical construct in climate science that characterizes the dynamic interplay through which cloud properties and distributions modulate atmospheric processes such as radiation, convection, and circulation, which in turn influence cloud formation and evolution, thereby creating self-reinforcing or self-dampening feedback loops within the Earth's climate system.
