"Unraveling the Cloud Climate Conundrum with Simple Equations"
A new study by researchers from the University of Exeter and the Laboratoire de Météorologie Dynamique in Paris has used simple equations to reduce uncertainty about how changes in the surface area of anvil clouds will affect global warming. By creating a model that predicts the impact of these storm clouds on global warming and testing it against observations, the researchers confirmed its effectiveness and reduced uncertainty in climate predictions. The study suggests that changes in the area of anvil clouds have a weaker impact on global warming than previously thought, but emphasizes the need to further investigate how warming will affect the brightness of clouds.
