The response of #clouds to warming climate comes with a large uncertainity. Are we still missing critical drivers to model clouds? ☁️
In a recent paper, scientists by us, Uni Hamburg and IPSL present the evidence for shallow mesoscale circulations using the #EUREC4A observations. Their interesting finding suggests that the mesoscale circulations, not resolved by #ClimateModels, are integral to determine the low cloud feedback.

Eureka it is!
Using the observations from the #EUREC4A field campaign, #MPIM_Scientist Geet George and #UHH research scientist Raphaela Vogel with #LMD in Paris show that the subtropical #clouds are not diminished by warming. Their findings negate the predictions of some #climate models as the cloudiness is supported by the mesoscale motions, which the models don't incorporate.

Unsere ehemalige Wissenschaftlerin Raphaela Vogel erklärt im Deutschlandfunk, was uns die Beobachtungen der #EUREC4A Messkampagne über die Klimaempfindlichkeit von Passatwindwolken verraten. Hier geht’s zum Interview: https://www.deutschlandfunk.de/manche-wolken-sind-weniger-klimaempfindlich-als-angenommen-100.html
