Ubiquity and impact of thin mid-level clouds in the tropics
Clouds play a pivotal role in the Earth’s climate, yet little is known about those at mid-levels. Here, using satellite observations and high-resolution modeling, the authors find thin mid-level clouds, formed by detrainment during deep convection, occur across the tropics with a cooling effect on t...

| Sumario: | Clouds play a pivotal role in the Earth’s climate, yet little is known about those at mid-levels. Here, using satellite observations and high-resolution modeling, the authors find thin mid-level clouds, formed by detrainment during deep convection, occur across the tropics with a cooling effect on the climate. |
