AbstractAnalysis of the 30-year trend (1952–1981) of the amounts of different cloud types, as observed from ships in the tropical oceans, has shown that, over latitudes 20°N–20°S during the time period studied, cirrus (Ci) and cumulonimbus (Cb) types have increased while cumulus (Cu) and stratus (St) types decreased or remained nearly constant. The greenhouse implications of these cloud trends are discussed.
