Sep 15, 2025 · The International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) provides data on various aspects of cloud variables like cloud amount, optical thickness, and cloud top …

The International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) was established as the first project of the World Climate Research Program (WCRP). Since its inception in 1982, there have been …

1 day ago · This study uses a multi-model intercomparison framework and a large-scale observational constraint based on a volcanic eruption and shows that climate models strongly …

Clouds affect the climate but changes in the climate, in turn, affect the clouds. This relationship creates a complicated system of climate feedbacks, in which clouds modulate Earth's radiation …

Dec 11, 2025 · Figure 1 illustrates cloud types distinguished by cloud base height and morphology, as initially classified by surface observers. Cloud morphology, stratiform or …

2 days ago · Low clouds significantly influence Earth’s radiation budget, but their climate feedback remains highly uncertain due to complex interactions with meteorological conditions across …

Aug 20, 2025 · Clouds, once Earth’s natural coolers, are shifting due to global warming – shrinking reflective zones and expanding warmer ones – triggering a feedback loop that’s …

The resulting datasets and analysis products are used to improve understanding and modeling of the role of clouds in climate, with the primary focus being the elucidation of the effects of …

The International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) pioneered the development of multi-decadal cloud climate records (1983-present) from the operational meteorological …

The International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project (ISCCP) was formally established as the first project of the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) in August 1982 to collect and …
