Cloud Feedbacks in CMIP6 Models Versus Expert Synthesis

by Minghua Zhang 6 June 202214 September 2022

Models with smallest feedback errors are found to have moderate cloud feedbacks and equilibrium climate sensitivity of 3 to 4 degrees of warming when the concentration of carbon dioxide is doubled.
