Fig. 5: Decomposed cloud feedbacks during 2041–2050.
From: Realistic representation of mixed-phase clouds increases projected climate warming
a Net global cloud feedbacks (W m−2 K−1, vertical axis) from the NorESM2 Global simulations (2041–2050 average) with globally constrained SLF (black), compared to the unconstrained NorESM2 Control simulation (pale pink). Shown here are the mean 2041–2050 cloud feedbacks for each simulation, regressed against the pre-industrial temperature anomalies (see the “Methods” section). b The horizontal axis labels describe the “Total" net cloud feedback, the net cloud amount feedback ("Amt"), the cloud altitude feedback ("Alt"), the net cloud optical depth feedback ("Tau") and the net residual term not attributed to any of the beforementioned components ("Err"). b Same as a but looking at the southern extratropics ("S-ET"). c Same as a but for the northern extratropics ("N-ET").
