| Zusammenfassung |
| In assessing the iris effect suggested by Lindzen et
al. (2001), Fu et al. (2002) found that the response of high-level clouds to the sea surface
temperature had an effect of reducing the climate sensitivity to external radiative forcing, but the effect was not as strong as LCH found. The
approach of FBH to specifying longwave emission and cloud albedos appears to
be inappropriate, and the derived cloud optical properties may not have real
physical meaning. The cloud albedo calculated by FBH is too large for cirrus
clouds and too small for boundary layer clouds, which underestimates the iris
effect. |
