In addition, since the global surface temperature records are a measure that responds to albedo changes (volcanic aerosols, cloud cover, land use, snow and ice cover) solar output, and differences in partition of various forcings into the oceans / atmosphere / land / cryosphere, teasing out just the effect of CO2 + water vapor over the short term is difficult to impossible.

So we are left with little sense of how much some «average» macrovariables like albedo, vary day to day and hour by hour as clouds come and go and land use and natural cover vary

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].

As I understand it, the basic theory is that incoming charged particles provide additional cloud condensation nucleii (like the cloud chambers used as detectors in early subatomic physics), that the rate of incoming particles is modulated by the magnetic fields of the sun and earth, and that therefore the amount of cloud cover varies with the particle flux, which in turn drives climate, so we can stop worrying about CO2.

Valerie: «flaws in the computer models used related to lack of cloud cover influence on temperature.»

Some recent empirical papers have begun separating into intrinsic (which would relate to cloud opacity changes) and extrinsic (related to cloud cover changes) effects rather than using the process - oriented language of 1st and 2nd (lifetime) indirect effects, semi-direct effects etc..

In an analysis of global warming cloud feedbacks, Dessler (2010) used short term (i.e., not climate) variations in surface temperature and CERES data to determine that cloud cover was negatively correlated with temperature.

Dessler (2011) used observational data (such as surface temperature measurements and ARGO ocean temperature) to estimate and corroborate these values, and found that the heating of the climate system through ocean heat transport was 20 times larger than TOA energy flux changes due to cloud cover over the period in question.

The long term scientific investigation of the Amazon, showed that cutting down huge tracks of rain forest for agricultural use, did cause a lift in the cloud cover and precipitation.

In effect he is saying that it is almost impossible to differentiate the forcing effect of cloud cover from the feedback effect — and without being able to do this you can not quantify the feedback sensitvity of the climate using cloud cover data.

Instead of changes in monthly values of Temp and precip (and cloud cover) changes in ANNUAL mean temperature were used to force LPJ.

Using the satellite data, Henrik Svensmark of the Danish National Space Center in Copenhagen has shown that cloud cover varies in sync with the variable cosmic ray flux reaching the Earth.

Some studies have shown co-variation between GCR and low - level cloud cover using global satellite data over periods of typically 5 — 10 years (Marsh and Svensmark, 2000; Pallé Bagó and Butler, 2000).

We use a global model, simplified to essential processes, to investigate state - dependence of climate sensitivity, finding an increased sensitivity towards warmer climates, as low cloud cover is diminished and increased water vapor elevates the tropopause.

Again I want to emphasize that my use of the temperature change rate, rather than temperature, as the predicted variable is based upon the expectation that these natural modes of climate variability represent forcing mechanisms — I believe through changes in cloud cover — which then cause a lagged temperature response.This is what Anthony and I are showing here:

The wide range of studies conducted with the ISCCP datasets and the changing environment for accessing datasets over the Internet suggested the need for the Web site to provide: 1) a larger variety of information about the project and its data products for a much wider variety of users [e.g., people who may not use a particular ISCCP data product but could use some ancillary information (such as the map grid definition, topography, snow and ice cover)-RSB-; 2) more information about the main data products in several different forms (e.g., illustrations of the cloud analysis method) and more flexible access to the full documentation; 3) access to more data summaries and diagnostic statistics to illustrate research possibilities for students, for classroom use by educators, or for users with «simple» climatology questions (e.g., annual and seasonal means); and 4) direct access to the complete data products (e.g., the whole monthly mean cloud dataset is now available online).

Essentially, it's the average cloud forcing error made by CMIP5 - level GCMs, when they were used to hindcast 20 years of satellite observations of global cloud cover (1985 - 2005).

One of the biggest criticisms levied against Svensmark was that he had used data from a satellite that did not measure total global cloud cover.

Consequently, when considering these difficulties together it is clear that we have no reliable or accurate knowledge of how global cloud cover has varied over the past several decades, and that certainly the ISCCP cloud dataset is not suitable for use in long - term correlation analysis seeking to accurately establish cloud variability and trends — a fact noted by Stordal et al. (2005).

The models do not use a total cloud cover, even though that parameter is implied in IPCC's definition of its radiative forcing paradigm.

Due to persistent cloud cover, which obscures optical sensors, scientists from the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC) at the University of Colorado, Boulder, use infrared (IR) sensors to infer the amount of heat emitted from the surface.

The only use of controversial was in this sentence from AR4: «an empirical association of cloud cover variations during 1984 to 1990 and the solar cycle remains controversial because of uncertainties about the reality of the decadal signal itself, the phasing or anti-phasing with solar activity, and its separate dependence for low, middle and high clouds.»

As others have pointed out, excluding clouds, the average reflectivity of earth's surface is about 0.124 Earth is not a blackbody, most of the earth is covered by ocean, which has an emissivity between 0.92 and 0.96 - I'll use a 0.94 average.
