The influence of cloud feedbacks on equatorial Atlantic variability.
Open accessAbstract
Observations show that cloud feedback over the Namibian stratocumulus region is positive because cloud cover is anticorrelated with local sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies. Moreover, regressions of observed atmospheric fields on equatorial Atlantic SST anomalies indicate that cloud feedbacks over the Namibian stratocumulus region covary with Atlantic Niño. However, from observations alone, it is not possible to quantify the influence of regional cloud feedbacks on equatorial climate variability. To address this question, a set of sensitivity experiments are conducted using an atmospheric general circulation model (ECHAM6) coupled to a slab ocean in which the strength of positive cloud feedback is enhanced over several regions in the South Atlantic basin. Enhanced positive cloud feedback over the Namibian stratocumulus region increases local as well as equatorial SST variability, whereas enhanced cloud feedback over other regions in the South Atlantic increases local SST variability but exhibits negligible responses at the equator. The authors’ results indicate that the Namibian region plays a central role in enhancing equatorial SST variability because it is located where the SST anomalies associated with the simulated Atlantic Niño in the slab-ocean model develop. These results highlight the important role of the regional coupling of cloud cover over the Namibian region with local SSTs and its effects on equatorial Atlantic climate variability.

Positive dust and cloud feedbacks on SST and climate have been established at interannual and decadal timescales in both hemispheres and are capable of amplifying the AMV.
“Positive dust and cloud feedbacks on SST and climate have been established at interannual and decadal timescales in both hemispheres (Evan et al., 2011;Bellomo et al., 2015;Myers et al., 2018) and are capable of amplifying the AMV (Bellomo et al., 2016;Yuan et al., 2016).”
From The tropical atlantic observing system (2019) · cites this paper as Bellomo et al., 2015
The Summary (page unavailable) reports that positive low-level cloud feedback over the Namibian region enhances simulated Atlantic Niño variability, supporting the cloud-feedback part of the first clause. It does not establish positive dust feedbacks or cloud feedbacks at both interannual and decadal timescales in both hemispheres; the Introduction says the relationship between North and South Atlantic variability remains unclear. The sentence cites other papers, not Bellomo et al. (2015), for the separate AMV-amplification clause. (LLM, conf=0.88)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
