Fig. 6. Role of CAM5 physical parameterizations in changing low-cloud cover.

Fig. 6

Changes in low-cloud cover (in %) versus the GMST (in °C) in the Eocene atmosphere-only simulations using CAM4 with individual CAM5 physical parameterizations switched on sequentially (Materials and Methods). The physical parameterizations of radiation transfer (rad), cloud microphysics (micro), turbulence and shallow convection (uw), and cloud macrophysics (macro) are tested. For comparison, values of low-cloud cover have been realigned by subtracting the corresponding value in the 1× simulation. For reference, standard atmosphere-only simulations using CAM5 (red filled circles) and CAM4 (orange filled circles) are also shown.
