NCAR Earth System Research: Climate Change and Water Cycle Issues
Water vapor is an important greenhouse gas that traps solar radiation in the atmosphere and warms Earth. However, when water vapor condenses into clouds, the effects become anything but straightforward. Low-forming stratocumulus clouds block sunlight and cool the planet, whereas high-forming cirrus clouds have a warming effect because they keep sunlight from radiating into space. At ...
