On dynamic and thermodynamic components of cloud changes (2004, background): “However, the investigation of cloud feedbacks in observations, in simple models or in GCMs has often focused on the role of deep convective clouds on the one hand, and on that of stratus clouds on the other hand (e.g. Larson et al. 1999; Lindzen et al. 2001 ).”
Uncertainty in Model Climate Sensitivity Traced to Representations of Cumulus Precipitation Microphysics (2016, background): “Recently, Mauritsen and Stevens (2015) hypothesized that a possible increase in convection aggregation in warmer climates might lead to the iris effect of Lindzen et al. (2001), which could be missing in GCMs and may cause the high climate sensitivity and muted hydrological change in GCMs.”
Deep Convective System Evolution over Africa and the Tropical Atlantic (2007, background): “However, the response of these systems to a climate perturbation is highly uncertain, with numerous, sometimes contradictory, potential mechanisms proposed in recent years (Ramanathan and Collins 1991; Chou and Neelin 1999; Lindzen et al. 2001; Hartmann and Larson 2002; Del Genio et al. 2005).”
