Atmospheric aerosols affect the Earth's climate in many ways, including acting as the seeds
on which cloud droplets form. Since a large fraction of these particles is anthropogenic, the …

Despite a concerted research effort and extensive observational record, uncertainty in
climate sensitivity and aerosol forcing, the two largest contributions to future warming …

Abstract The Community Earth System Model version 2 (CESM2) simulates a high
equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS> 5° C) and a Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) that is …

Recent assessments of climate sensitivity per doubling of atmospheric CO 2 concentration
have combined likelihoods derived from multiple lines of evidence. These assessments …

The persistent and growing spread in effective climate sensitivity (ECS) across global
climate models necessitates rigorous evaluation of their cloud feedbacks. Here we evaluate …

General circulation models'(GCMs) estimates of the liquid water path adjustment to
anthropogenic aerosol emissions differ in sign from other lines of evidence. This reduces …

In the words of Heinrich Hertz in 1885, the Earth is a “gigantic steam engine”. On average, of
the planet's cross section exposed to sunlight, 72% belong to the global ocean. With a delay …

Abstract The Global Energy and Water Cycle Exchanges (GEWEX) project was created
more than 30 years ago within the framework of the World Climate Research Programme …

Abstract The Southern Ocean radiative bias continues to impact climate and weather
models, including the Australian Community Climate and Earth System Simulator …

Satellite images show solid marine stratocumulus cloud decks (Sc) that break up over the
remote oceans. The Sc breakup is initiated by precipitation and is accompanied by a strong …
