These forcings are spatially heterogeneous and include the effect of aerosols on clouds and associated precipitation [e.g., Rosenfeld et al., 2008], the influence of aerosol deposition (e.g., black carbon (soot)[Flanner et al. 2007] and reactive nitrogen [Galloway et al., 2004]-RRB-, and the role of changes in land use / land cover [e.g., Takata et al., 2009].

They found that, although the aerosol direct effect or an increase in continental cloud albedo could contribute to damp the surface temperature diurnal cycle, only an increase in continental cloud cover would be consistent with observations (Karl et al., 1993).
Hansen et al. (1995) demonstrate that tropospheric aerosols plus increases in continental cloud cover, possibly associated with aerosols, could account for the observed decrease in DTR.

The meeting will mainly cover the following themes, but can include other topics related to understanding and modelling the atmosphere: ● Surface drag and momentum transport: orographic drag, convective momentum transport ● Processes relevant for polar prediction: stable boundary layers, mixed - phase clouds ● Shallow and deep convection: stochasticity, scale - awareness, organization, grey zone issues ● Clouds and circulation feedbacks: boundary - layer clouds, CFMIP, cirrus ● Microphysics and aerosol - cloud interactions: microphysical observations, parameterization, process studies on aerosol - cloud interactions ● Radiation: circulation coupling; interaction between radiation and clouds ● Land - atmosphere interactions: Role of land processes (snow, soil moisture, soil temperature, and vegetation) in sub-seasonal to seasonal (S2S) prediction ● Physics - dynamics coupling: numerical methods, scale - separation and grey - zone, thermodynamic consistency ● Next generation model development: the challenge of exascale, dynamical core developments, regional refinement, super-parametrization ● High Impact and Extreme Weather: role of convective scale models; ensembles; relevant challenges for model development
via changes in cloud cover, ice cover, atmospheric aerosols concentrations and distributions) is incomplete and contains uncertainties on the order of the estimates of the forcing changes themselves. . .
There are much better arguments on other items where (C) AGW is on thin ice: climate models which fail on a lot of items like cloud cover, overestimate the influence of aerosols, can't cope with natural variability and therefore fail in their temperature forecasts.
Solar cycles, aerosols, cloud cover and greenhouse gas concentrations each play a roll, and in general, increasing CO2, methane, and N2O in the troposphere will serve to reduce the net flow of energy from oceans to space.
The «shield», formed by the persistent lines of aerosols and the subsequent formation of the «land covering white sheet» with subsequent formation of «clouds», only can be verified bellow the tropopause.
Increased biomass can lead to increased emissions of biogases such as dimethyl sulfide and isoprene, which when oxidized in the atmospheric form sulphate and organic aerosols that can nucleate clouds, increasing cloud cover and planetary albedo — the CLAW Hypothesis.
Because the cloud effect is self limiting, it's instantly reversible as ice cover stops fauna and flora from producing aerosols in the cooling World, so allows the IA.

New paper finds changes in cloud cover caused global brightening & dimming, not man - made aerosols
Or, agricultural and industrial civilisation alters (silica feeding diatoms, oil smoothing etc etc) the ocean's biochemistry and (aerosol modification) reduces cloud cover and hence albedo.
Scientists believe that the combination of growing quantities of man - made aerosol particles in the atmosphere and more moisture have caused the cloud cover to thicken.
The indirect aerosol effect may include increased cloud brightness, as aerosols lead to a larger number of smaller cloud droplets (the so - called Twomey effect), and increased cloud cover, as smaller droplets inhibit rainfall and increase cloud lifetime.
The latter effect acts to reduce CO2 sensitivity by increasing the aerosol - sensitive SW tau, increasing both cloud density and cover, decreasing upper tropospheric specific humidity and INCREASING SW albedo and will increasingly do so as the atmospheric level of CO2 rises!

«The overall slow decrease of upwelling SW flux from the mid-1980's until the end of the 1990's and subsequent increase from 2000 onwards appear to caused, primarily, by changes in global cloud cover (although there is a small increase of cloud optical thickness after 2000) and is confirmed by the ERBS measurements... The overall slight rise (relative heating) of global total net flux at TOA between the 1980's and 1990's is confirmed in the tropics by the ERBS measurements and exceeds the estimated climate forcing changes (greenhouse gases and aerosols) for this period.
This suggests that the aerosol indirect effect and in particular the increase of cloud cover can serve as a possible explanation to the observed changes in surface illumination.
Yes, it seems huge compared effects of increasing CO2 Abstract: «The 340 nm LER is highly correlated with cloud and aerosol cover becauseof the low surface reflectivity of the land and oceans (typically 2 to 6RU, where 1RU = 0.01 = 1.0 %) relative to the much higher reflectivity of clouds plus aerosols (typically 10 to 90RU).
