• Cloud drop effective radius — The cloud drop effective radius (alternatively cloud effective radius or effective radius) is a weighted mean of the size distribution of cloud droplets.[1] The term was defined in 1974 by James E. Hansen and Larry Travis as the ratio of the… …   Wikipedia

• Cloud forcing — (sometimes described as cloud radiative forcing) is, in meteorology, the difference between the radiation budget components for average cloud conditions and cloud free conditions. Much of the interest in cloud forcing relates to its role as a… …   Wikipedia

• Cloud reflectivity modification — Cloud reflectivity enhancement is also known as marine cloud brightening or cloud whitening on low cloud. An opposite scheme exists to reduce the reflectivity of higher, colder cirrus clouds.[1] It is a geoengineering technique that works by… …   Wikipedia

• Cloud albedo — is a measure of the albedo of a cloud higher values mean that the cloud reflects more solar radiation, or more radiation is transmitted. Cloud albedo varies from less than 10% to more than 90% and depends on drop sizes, liquid water or ice… …   Wikipedia

• Cloud feedback — is the coupling between cloudiness and surface air temperature in which a change in radiative forcing perturbs the surface air temperature, leading to a change in clouds, which could then amplify or diminish the initial temperature perturbation.… …   Wikipedia
