Global Warming➔Fewer Clouds➔More Warming! with George Tselioudis

In this Climate Chat episode, we speak with NASA climate scientist George Tselioudis about his recent research paper on cloud feedbacks in the climate system titled "Oceanic cloud trends during the satellite era and their radiative signatures." Dr. Tselioudis is a researcher at the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies where he heads a research team that analyzes observations and model simulations to investigate cloud, radiation, and precipitation changes with climate and the resulting radiative feedbacks. Research focuses on understanding the relationships between atmospheric dynamics and cloud changes, examining processes such as midlatitude storm properties and their climate variability, and on applying advanced techniques to derive atmospheric states from cloud property retrievals. Dr. Tselioudis received the American Geophysical Union Charles Falkenberg Award in 2004.
