Second, with less cloud cover, more infrared radiation can escape to space, thereby creating a strong climate - stabilizing negative cloud feedback that prevents significant warming from increasing greenhouse gases. (realclimate.org)
Higher trade winds yield less cloud cover over the central and eastern tropical Pacific, which in turn yields more downward shortwave radiation, which in turn yields warmer water. (wattsupwiththat.com)
To give just one hint that it is shockingly deficient in some respects, note that our oceans have much less cloud cover than our land and are not limited by the availability of water, yet they can not even average 60 % of the productivity of our land. (centauri-dreams.org)
