Radiative effects of precipitation on the global energy budget and Arctic amplification

Abstract Radiative forcing is an essential metric for accurate climate prediction. Clouds are a well-known source of uncertainty, but the radiative effects of precipitation (REP) are poorly understood and excluded from most general circulation models (GCMs). This is because conventional GCMs treat p...
