云反馈是气候敏感性不确定性的主要原因。云与热带大范围环流之间的复杂耦合导致了这种不确定性。为了解决这个问题,我们将最新一代气候模型中云与环流之间的耦合与观测结果进行了比较。模型中发现了重大偏差。这些偏差的影响是通过将当前的观察结果与模型预测的未来变化相结合来评估的,以计算观察受限的反馈。对于动态云反馈(即由于环流变化),观测约束值始终大于仅模型值。这是由于模型未能捕获弱下降区域云亮度的非线性最小值。因此,虽然模型一致预测这些状况的频率增加与热带环流减弱有关,但它们低估了与这种增加相关的正云反馈。
Cloud feedbacks are the leading cause of uncertainty in climate sensitivity. The complex coupling between clouds and the large‐scale circulation in the tropics contributes to this uncertainty. To address this problem, the coupling between clouds and circulation in the latest generation of climate models is compared to observations. Significant biases are identified in the models. The implications of these biases are assessed by combining observations of the present day with future changes predicted by models to calculate observationally constrained feedbacks. For the dynamic cloud feedback (i.e., due to changes in circulation), the observationally constrained values are consistently larger than the model‐only values. This is due to models failing to capture a nonlinear minimum in cloud brightness for weakly descending regimes. Consequently, while the models consistently predict that these regimes increase in frequency in association with a weakening tropical circulation, they underestimate the positive cloud feedback associated with this increase.
