Cloud Adjustment MIP (CAMIP)

The relationship between radiative forcing and SW cloud feedback changed between CMIP5 and CMIP6:

Cloud adjustments likely drive this behavior:

ECS > 5K

Cloud Adjustment MIP (CAMIP)

Cloud adjustments poorly understood, small number of required simulations available, especially for CMIP5 models

​

What’s needed:

Fixed SST control/4XCO2 simulations w/ISCCP simulator, especially with CMIP5-gen models
