Clouds are reflecting less sunlight, trapping heat, and rapidly accelerating global warming beyond predictions.

They tend to appear on these five cloud types: cirrus, altocumulus, cumulus, stratus, and stratocumulus. But it's equally rare to find fluctus clouds in each one, according to the International ...

wispy clouds visible in the distant atmosphere on relatively clear days — absorb and trap more radiation, warming the Earth,” while “stratus or stratocumulus clouds — plump, fluffy clouds ...

Adding to the complexity are the substantial differences in cloud dynamics between two main stratocumulus regions on Earth, namely the tropical Pacific and Atlantic, based on observations.
