Uncertainties on projecting future cloud feedback and possible ways to address them

The issue of climate change is hotly debated in today's world. More attention is paid to climate-related issues, including global warming. It is accepted that clouds are responsible for the rise of global surface temperature. People have spent decades trying to develop climate models that are capable of more accurate cloud projections without getting the ultimate solution since clouds are complicated compounds. This review article focuses on clouds' role in global warming, the mechanisms of cloud warming the Earth's surface, uncertainties of cloud parameterizations, and some researches aiming at mitigating the uncertainties . This paper concluded that although advancements are made in adding new constraints and taking new observable variables, uncertainty remains. The majority of new methods and constraints reviewed in this paper are still limited to different extents. Therefore, more complete climate models that can be applied to more conditions and regions could be the direction for future studies in the field.

Abstract

The issue of climate change is hotly debated in today's world. More attention is paid to climate-related issues, including global warming. It is accepted that clouds are responsible for the rise of global surface temperature. People have spent decades trying to develop climate models that are capable of more accurate cloud projections without getting the ultimate solution since clouds are complicated compounds. This review article focuses on clouds' role in global warming, the mechanisms of cloud warming the Earth's surface, uncertainties of cloud parameterizations, and some researches aiming at mitigating the uncertainties . This paper concluded that although advancements are made in adding new constraints and taking new observable variables, uncertainty remains. The majority of new methods and constraints reviewed in this paper are still limited to different extents. Therefore, more complete climate models that can be applied to more conditions and regions could be the direction for future studies in the field.
