    the cloud IR emissivity, with values between 0 and 1, with a global average around 0.7; the effective cloud amount, the cloud amount weighted by the cloud IR emissivity, with a global average of 0.5; the cloud (visible) optical depth varies within a range of 4 and 10. the cloud water path for the liquid and solid (ice) phases of the cloud particles

  3. Cloud albedo - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_albedo

    Higher liquid water and ice content in a cloud increases its albedo, which is the dominant factor in determining the cloud's reflectivity. [ 6 ] [ 7 ] The change in albedo is greater for clouds with less water content to start with and larger clouds begin to receive diminishing returns with increased content.

  4. Hygroscopy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hygroscopy

    Other polymers, such as polyethylene and polystyrene, do not normally absorb much moisture, but are able to carry significant moisture on their surface when exposed to liquid water. [ 33 ] Type-6 nylon (a polyamide ) can absorb up to 9.5% of its weight in moisture.

  5. Liquid water content - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_water_content

    Clouds that have low densities, such as cirrus clouds, contain very little water, thus resulting in relatively low liquid water content values of around .03 g/m 3.Clouds that have high densities, like cumulonimbus clouds, have much higher liquid water content values that are around 1-3 g/m 3, as more liquid is present in the same amount of space.

  6. Cloud feedback - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloud_feedback

    Under dry, cloud-free conditions, water vapor in atmosphere contributes 67% of the greenhouse effect on Earth. When there is enough moisture to form typical cloud cover, the greenhouse effect from "free" water vapor goes down to 50%, but water vapor which is now inside the clouds amounts to 25%, and the net greenhouse effect is at 75%. [21]

    Wisps of precipitation falling from a cloud but evaporating before reaching the ground. Occur when precipitation falls through dry air. Indicates that the air below the cloud is dry; can also ...

  8. Humidity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humidity

    Mists, clouds, fogs and aerosols of water do not count towards the measure of relative humidity of the air, although their presence is an indication that a body of air may be close to the dew point. Relative humidity is normally expressed as a percentage; a higher percentage means that the air–water mixture is more humid.
