Open AccessAnthropogenic aerosol and cryosphere changes drive Earth’s strong but transient clear-sky hemispheric albedo asymmetry
A striking feature of the Earth system is that the Northern and Southern Hemispheres reflect identical amounts of sunlight. This hemispheric albedo symmetry comprises two asymmetries: The Northern Hemisphere i...

Open AccessThe Radiative Forcing of Aerosol–Cloud Interactions in Liquid Clouds: Wrestling and Embracing Uncertainty
This article discusses some of the challenges that have limited progress in quantifying the radiative forcing associated with aerosol–cloud interactions (ACI) in warm (liquid-water) clouds. It reviews recent p...

Detection limits of albedo changes induced by climate engineering
Geoengineering the climate by increasing the Earth's reflectivity has been suggested. In this Perspective, the detectability of various methods is investigated. Although satellite observations can detect large...

Climate Processes: Clouds, Aerosols and Dynamics
Physical processes not well resolved by climate models continue to limit confidence in detailed predictions of climate change. The representation of cloud and convection-related processes dominates the model s...
