Oceanic cloud feedbacks on earth radiation budget parametersOceanic cloud variability and sensitivity to sea surface temperature (SST) were examined using radiometer data gathered with instrumentation on the Nimbus-7 satellite. The study area was a region of the Pacific Ocean north of Hawaii. SST and albedo data for the period 1978-1983 were compared and similar trends were found for minimal values of the albedo and SST.
