Abstract:
The influence on the energy balance of the earths climate system is reviewed and is based on recent satellite observations of the Earths Radiation Budget ERB and other satellite-derived cloud information. The special difficulties that polar cloudiness poses in analysis of ERB data are discussed. The role of arctic cloudiness on the snow-ice albedo feedback is examined and the possible influence of this feedback to global cloudiness and thus to the radiation balance on the earth are explored.
