Simulation of meteorological field variations associated with changes in different-level cloud formation conditions

Numerical experiments have been performed in order that the response of the surface thermobaric fields to changes in the formation conditions of different-level clouds be investigated. On the average, a 20% increase of the coupling coefficient between the amount of low clouds and relative humidity leads to an increase in the global surface air temperature by about 1˚grad. The temperature rise effect is more pronounced in summer and winter. The polar areas and baroclinic regions have been found to be most sensitive to changes in the cloud formation conditions.
