The radio jets compress

path and heat up
water molecules contained within the
clouds until they emit radiation.
Del Genio, A.D., and A.B. Wolf, 2000: The temperature dependence of the liquid
water path of low
clouds in the southern great plains.
While there are some similarities between the approaches, an important difference is that the slab - ocean approach allows surface and MBL temperatures to adjust to the energetic perturbation: positive energetic forcing of the surface leads to warming, weakens the inversion, and reduces low -
cloud cover and liquid
water path (LWP).

J.R.N. designed the study, provided ERBS, CERES, and ISCCP data, did the main analysis, and wrote the paper; R.J.A. provided standard model
cloud output for CMIP5 simulations and analysed CMIP5 meteorological output; A.T.E. provided corrected PATMOS - x data; M.D.Z. provided CMIP5 COSP

water path data; and S.A.K. provided background information and ideas.

Cloud liquid
water path from satellite - based passive microwave observations: a new climatology over the global oceans.
Based on this study, we conclude that GOES level - 2B
cloud - top retrievals are a reliable tool for prediction evaluations but the algorithm's retrievals of ice
water path are not.
Svensmark et al. (2009) found large global reductions in the aerosol Ångström exponent from AERONET, liquid
water path from SSM / I, and
cloud cover from MODIS and ISCCP after large Forbush decreases, but these results were not corroborated by other studies who found no statistically significant links between GCR and
clouds at the global scale (Calogovic et al., 2010; Kristjánsson et al., 2008; Laken and Calogovic, 2011).

In the extratropics these are caused by a general increase in
cloud fraction in a broad range of heights, and a strong increase of
cloud liquid
water path in the lower troposphere.
I understand the reason — years of positive thinkers have drilled it into our heads not to watch, read or listen to the news or hang out with the «black
cloud» group at the
water cooler because nothing lies down that
path but despair.
