 | Change in a warming environment | Resultant changes in BL and cloud | Resultant low cloud feedback | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Increasing | Deeper BL, less cloud | Positive | ||
SST-related process: Surface evaporation (Chung and Teixeira 2012; Rieck et al. 2012) | Increasing | Deeper BL, less cloud | Positive | |
SST-related process: Moisture contrast at inversion (Brient and Bony 2013; van der Dussen et al. 2015) | Increasing | Deeper BL, less cloud | Positive | |
Strength of inversion (Klein and Hartmann 1993; Wood and Bretherton 2006) | Increasing | Shallower BL, more cloud | Negative | |
FT relative humidity (Klein et al. 1995; Lacagnina and Selten 2013; Myers and Norris 2015) | Decreasing | Decreasing high and middle clouds, but uncertain in low cloud | Uncertain | |
FT subsidence (Myers and Norris 2013) | Weakening | Higher cloud top, more cloud | Negative | |
Uncertain | Â | Uncertain | ||
Cold advection (Klein et al. 1995; Mansbach and Norris 2007; Myers and Norris 2015) | Enhanced | More convective BL, more cloud | Negative |
