Motivated by findings that major components of so - called cloud «
feedbacks» are best understood as rapid responses to CO2 forcing (Gregory and Webb in J Clim 21:58 — 71, 2008), the top of atmosphere (TOA) radiative effects from forcing, and the subsequent responses to global surface temperature changes from all «atmospheric
feedbacks» (water vapour, lapse rate, surface albedo, «surface temperature» and cloud) are
examined in detail in a
General Circulation Model.
We also have projects in the
general area of non-linear geophysics such as
examining climate
feedbacks in the hydrological cycle and the effects of a variable sun on climate model simulations
