High-cloud Feedback

High-Cloud Feedback is a climatological feedback mechanism in which changes in the abundance or properties of high-level clouds modulate the Earth's radiative balance, thereby influencing atmospheric temperature and climate dynamics through alterations in longwave and shortwave radiation trapping.
