Stratocumulus Feedback

Stratocumulus Feedback is a climate feedback mechanism within the broader category of cloud feedbacks that specifically describes the process by which changes in the coverage, thickness, or radiative properties of stratocumulus clouds in response to warming alter the Earth's energy balance, typically amplifying or dampening the initial temperature change through modifications in albedo and longwave radiation.
