Cloud cover and cloud types in the Eurasian Arctic in 1936–2012
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "International Journal of Climatology"
DOI: 10.1002/joc.6187
Abstract: The Arctic is a cloudy place. It has been recognized that the Arctic cloud cover is sensitive to different climatic factors such as sea ice extent and atmospheric circulation indices. Moreover, several influential climate feedbacks,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00382-017-3974-5
Abstract: We examine the effects of non-linear interactions between surface albedo, water vapor and cloud cover (referred to as climate variables) on amplified warming of the polar regions, using a new energy balance model. Our simulations… read more here.
