Energetic Constraints on Precipitation Under Climate Change (2012, methodology): “…(Wentz et al. 2007) may be consistent with an apparent intensification of the Walker and Hadley circulation since 1979 (Sohn and Park 2010; Zahn and Allan 2011; Li et al. 2011) although declines in circulation have also been identified by other authors (Vecchi et al. 2006; Power and Smith 2007;…”
Computing and Partitioning Cloud Feedbacks Using Cloud Property Histograms. Part I: Cloud Radiative Kernels (2012, background): “…cloudless but otherwise identical planet, the global and annual mean effect of clouds at the top of atmosphere (TOA) is to increase the amount of reﬂected shortwave (SW) radiation by about 48 W m 2 2 and to reduce the amount of emitted longwave (LW) radiation by about 28 W m 2 2 (Allan 2011).”
