Here, experts consider the many roles that clouds play in the changing climate - one of the least understood and most puzzling aspects of atmospheric science.
"This book begins by identifying and describing the baffling nature of clouds. It explores the boundaries of current knowledge on the spatial/temporal variability of clouds and cloud-related aerosols as well as the factors that control clouds, and examines the extent and nature …

Les nuages contiennent d'énormes quantités d'eau. Comment font-ils pour ne pas nous tomber sur la tête, comme le redoutaient nos ancêtres les Gaulois ? Comme se forment-ils ? Comment se déplacent-ils ? Les réponses à ces quelques interrogations de bon sens nous familiarisent ave…
"Clouds affect the climate of the Earth, and they are an important factor in the weather. Therefore, their radiative properties must be understood in great detail. This book summarizes current knowledge on cloud optical properties, for example their ability to absorb, transmit, …
