TL;DR: The authors compared the climate sensitivity of 19 atmospheric general circulation models and found a roughly threefold variation among the models; most of this variation was attributed to differences in the models' depictions of cloud feedback.

Thomas J. Phillips,Gerald L. Potter,David L. Williamson,Richard T. Cederwall,James S. Boyle,M. Fiorino,J. J. Hnilo,Jerry G. Olson,Shaocheng Xie,J J Yio +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, a numerical weather prediction (NWP) methodology for evaluating model parameterizations and gaining insights into their behavior may prove useful, provided that suitable adaptations are made for implementation in climate GCMs.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: An intercomparison of 17 general circulation models suggests that additional amplification or moderation may be caused both by cloud interactions and longwave radiation.
Journal ArticleDOI
A methodology for understanding and intercomparing atmospheric climate feedback processes in general circulation models
Robert D. Cess,Gerald L. Potter +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it is suggested that sea surface temperature perturbations may be used, in conjunction with separation of clear and overcast regions within a model, as a surrogate climatic change for the purpose of understanding and intercomparing atmospheric climate feedback processes.
