ABSTRACT
The concept of cloud radiative forcing (CRF) has been widely employed in studying the effects of clouds on the earth's radiation budget and climate. CRF denotes, in principle, the net influence of cloud alone on the radiation budget of a system. In practice, however, observational determination of CRF is fraught with uncertainties due to factors other than cloud that induce changes in atmospheric background conditions. The most notable variables include aerosol, water vapor, and the data sampling scheme. The impact of these factors on the derivation of CRF and cloud absorption is investigated here by means of modeling and analysis of multiple datasets. Improved estimation of CRF ...
