recording of the event

12:18:13 From Jonah Bloch-Johnson to Everyone:

have you looked at the correlation between cloud feedback and _change_ in aggregation?

12:19:31 From Xia Li to Everyone:

I’m curious why you don’t get low clouds in the RCE_small runs?

12:21:30 From dennishartmann to Everyone:

Since these correlations are across models, do we know it is the organization that is causing the differences, or some other differences among the models, and organization is not the direct cause of the differences?

12:38:13 From Mark Zelinka to Everyone:

@Brett: Very nice work! Any thoughts on why the theoretical expectation from the stability iris so badly underestimates the actual decrease in cloud fraction?

12:38:36 From dennishartmann to Everyone:

Brett, Nice talk! Thanks for the plug for our paper, too!

12:40:55 From Jonah Bloch-Johnson to Everyone:

can you talk more about the cloud overlap term for the area feedback? i would think more cloud overlap would decrease the magnitude of the feedback, but i think you might have been saying it increases it?

12:44:02 From Mark Zelinka to Everyone:

Yep, I’m good

12:44:10 From Maile Sasaki to Everyone:

Could we see the QR codes again?

12:44:19 From Maile Sasaki to Everyone:

Thanks!

(i think this is the yoshimori paper brett is discussing)
