A Lagrangian perspective on the lifecycle and radiative effect of deep convective clouds by Jones, WK

“…Anvil clouds over tropical Africa are found to have a net cloud radiative effect (CRE) of anvil clouds over Africa of –0.94 ± 0.91 Wm−2, confirming the near zero net effect seen in previous studies. Despite the net effect being near neutral, individual DCCs exhibit wide variance in their CRE across the diurnal cycle and it is only through the balance of day- and night-time convection that the net effect is achieved. …”
