How well do we understand and evaluate climate change feedback processes? Bony S., Colman R., Kattsov V., Allan R., Bretherton C., Dufresne J., Hall A., Hallegatte S., Holland M., Ingram W. et al Review in JOURNAL OF CLIMATE Volume: 19 Issue: 15 Pages: 3445-3482 Abstract: Processes in the climate system that can either amplify or dampen the climate response to an external perturbation are referred to as climate feedbacks. Climate sensitivity estimates depend critically on radiative feedbacks associated with water vapor, lapse rate, clouds, snow, and sea ice, and global estimates of these feedbacks differ among general circulation models.
