Abstract

Key climate feedbacks, with a focus on cloud regime–specific feedbacks and their radiative responses, are analyzed. Recent literature is reviewed to provide an updated assessment of feedback strengths. Simple energy balance–imbalance modeling, together with a two-layer model representing global surface air and deep-ocean temperature changes, is used to examine the influence of feedback strength on energy balance and temperature changes. The results are incorporated into the Graz Climate Change Indicators portal.
