Abstract

Cirrus clouds are thought to play an important role in determining the radiative equilibrium temperature of the earth. Their cold temperature relative to the earth’s surface and lower clouds tends to decrease the effective radiative temperature of the the earth, while their relative transparency to incoming sunshine allows heating of lower layers of the atmosphere.
