They have resisted reductio n for decades. Because of a convergence of what is feasible computationall y on large scales (general circulation models) and small scales (large-edd y simulations)\, and because of the wealth of detailed observations that a re now available\, substantial progress on the low-cloud problem is now wi thin reach. In this talk\, I will describe recent progress in: \n\n(a) con straining the low-cloud response to climate change observationally\, \n(b) understanding how the large-scale energy balance controls the low-cloud r esponse\, and (c) simulating the low-cloud response with large-eddy simula tions that are driven in a way that respects the large-scale energy balanc e. \n\nThe results consistently indicate a positive feedback from tropical low clouds on global warming.\n\nFor more information\, please see our PA OC Colloquium event page at:\nhttps://paocweb.mit.edu/events/calendars/col loquium DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20161017T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20161017T130000 LOCATION:Ida Green Lounge (9th Floor)\, Building 54\, Cambridge\, MA\, Unit ed States SEQUENCE:0 SUMMARY:PAOC Colloquium: Tapio Schneider (Caltech) URL:http://oceans.mit.edu/event/paoc-colloquium-tapio-schneider-caltech X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nTitle: The respo nse of tropical low clouds to climate change\n\nAbstract: Uncertainties in how tropical low clouds respond to climate change continue to dominate cl imate projections.
