| description abstract | The sensitivity of outgoing longwave flux to changes in cloud cover (?F/?Ac) as defined by Cess (1976) must be evaluated carefully to avoid discrepancies arising from the interchange of averaging conventions. In a recent zonal atmospheric model experiment the global value of ?F/?Ac was different in sign than in other calculations. This difference in behavior was traced to a latitudinal redistribution of cloud amount and height that occurred in the doubled CO2 experiment. However, when ?F/?Ac was evaluated at individual latitudes and then weighted globally, the value of this parameter was consistent with those found by Cess (1976) and Budyko (1974). | |
