Clouds in the Perturbed Climate System: Their Relationship to Energy Balance, Atmospheric Dynamics, and Precipitation (Strungmann Forum Reports) ハードカバー – イラスト付き, 2009/3/27
Experts consider the many roles that clouds play in the the changing climateone of the least understood and most puzzling aspects of atmospheric science.
More than half the globe is covered by visible clouds. Clouds control major parts of the Earth's energy balance, influencing both incoming shortwave solar radiation and outgoing longwave thermal radiation. Latent heating and cooling related to cloud processes modify atmospheric circulation, and, by modulating sea surface temperatures, clouds affect the oceanic circulation. Clouds are also an essential component of the global water cycle, on which all terrestrial life depends. Yet clouds constitute the most poorly quantified, least understood, and most puzzling aspect of atmospheric science, and thus the largest source of uncertainty in the prediction of climate change. Because clouds are influenced by climate change, and because complex, unidentified feedback systems are involved, science is faced with many unanswered questions. This volume begins by indentifying and describing the baffling nature of clouds. It explores the boundaries of current knowledge on the spatial/temporal variability of clouds and cloud-related aerosols as well as the factors that control clouds, and examines the extent and nature of anthropogenic perturbations. Particular emphasis is given to the connections of clouds to climate through radiation, dynamics, precipitation, and chemistry, and to the difficulties in understanding the obvious but elusive fact that clouds must be affected by climate change. Utilizing the insights of this unique gathering of experts, the book offers recommendations to improve the current state of knowledge and direct future research in fields ranging from chemistry and theoretical physics to climate modeling and remote satellite sensing.

I have had the book only about a week, and have read clusters of pages here and there. One disappointment so far is that it only mentions high-spectral resolution lidar (HSRL) once. I think HSRL has great promise as an observational tool for cloud research, especially when used with short wavelength radars, and that this topic and very recent work accomplished at the University of Wisconsin is not adequately covered.
If you're interested in a layperson's view on climate and uncertainties in climate prediction related to clouds I suggest you look elsewhere, this is a higher level book for graduate students in the field.
