Abstract: Results are presented from the project Clear-sky Longwave from ERA (CLERA), in which simulations were performed of clear-sky longwave fluxes and heating rates for the period 1979?93, based on data from the European Centre ...

Abstract: Feedback analysis in climate models commonly involves decomposing any change in the system?s energy balance into radiative forcing terms due to prescribed changes, and response terms due to the radiative effects of changes ...

Abstract: the simulation of clouds in general circulation models (GCMs) remain a long-standing issue in climate projections, as discussed in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fourth Assessment Report. This highlights ...
