Abstract

Analyzes the data from the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project on the relationship between low-cloud optical thickness and cloud temperature implying a positive feedback between clouds and climate. Use of a two-dimensional radiative-convective model to assess feedback the effect of the on climate change; Positive feedback in the Northern Hemisphere.
